The Loomis Town Council convened on September 12, 2023, to discuss various community issues, with a significant focus on a proposed program related to public health and safety. The meeting began with a presentation from a representative of the Placer County Health and Human Services, who emphasized the importance of evaluating how the program would benefit the town of Loomis specifically.

The discussion highlighted the need to consider existing county and town efforts in public health, comparing Loomis's situation to other regions in California and beyond. The representative noted that the sheriff's department supports the proposed ordinance, suggesting that it could provide necessary resources for individuals in need.

Following the presentation, the council opened the floor for public comments. Maria Duncan, a Loomis resident, expressed her concerns regarding the program. She voiced her love for the town and its schools, emphasizing that she trusts local institutions with her children. Duncan criticized the proposed program, labeling it a failure and arguing that it would lead to increased debris and cleanup issues in the community. She urged the council to reconsider implementing such a program in Loomis.

The meeting concluded without immediate decisions, as council members indicated they would further deliberate on the matter. The council's next steps remain to be seen as they weigh community feedback against the proposed health initiative.
