Loomis Town Council's January 9 meeting highlighted significant staffing changes and community engagement initiatives. The council announced plans to recruit a new town engineer following the retirement of the current engineer in April. This transition aims to ensure continuity through cross-training between the outgoing and incoming engineers. The council expressed optimism about attracting qualified candidates, noting that a recent salary adjustment may enhance recruitment efforts.

In addition to staffing updates, the meeting featured a report from the Enos Library Community Learning Center, which celebrated the success of its inaugural puzzle swap event. The library plans to host similar events in the future, reflecting a commitment to community engagement. Upcoming programs include story times, gardening workshops, and a Lego club focused on STEM projects. The library also announced the return of AARP tax aid services, providing free tax preparation for residents during tax season.

These discussions underscore Loomis's proactive approach to both municipal staffing and community programming, aiming to foster a vibrant and engaged local environment.
