April Update


Loomis Town Council Update
We had a successful presentation to the Town Council of Loomis at their meeting on Tuesday, March 12. The Council voted in favor of directing the Town Manager to draft a Joint Use agreement with the Placer Union High School District and research where funds might be available in the budget to make an investment of $250,000 towards the construction of Phase I this summer. This contribution represents 10% of the total Phase I cost. We anticipate that the agreement and budget proposal will be ready for a vote at the meeting on Tuesday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m. Mark your calendars and please come out to support this important milestone!
