Kelly Moretti, battalion chief with the South Placer Fire District, told the council the district has reopened Station 19 — which had been closed about two and a half years — and placed an ambulance there to better serve the community. “We reopened it with an ambulance,” Moretti said, adding that the district increased staffing at Station 20 and moved the ambulance to Station 19 to shorten response times. She said the ambulance is an ambulance company only (no additional fire apparatus) and that battalion chiefs are also housed there.

Moretti said a Loomis ambulance district effort is progressing: “The Loomis ambulance protest vote was held without protests. LAFCO will now hear the resolution and adopt it,” she said, describing the LAFCO step as the next action toward local fire‑department ambulance service. Currently Loomis ambulance calls are handled by AMR.

Town Manager Wes briefed the council on two parking initiatives. First, he said a downtown overflow parking project at a property described in staff materials (the WW Mouldings downtown parcel) will be constructed largely with volunteer labor; he named volunteers who helped and estimated the town will save about $65,000 on that project. “Overall, we believe that we're gonna be able to save $65,000 on this project,” Wes said.

Wes also reported the town is negotiating an agreement with South Placer Fire District to use the vacant lot behind Station 18 for overflow parking and an all‑weather surface. He said the fire district’s board has approved terms that would let the town enter an agreement for $1 per year for five years with an optional five‑year extension; the town would again seek volunteers to do site improvements and reduce community cost.

Councilmembers asked clarifying questions about access and impacts, and a resident publicly thanked the town for a completed sidewalk project on Humphrey Road; that item was part of earlier capital work tied to school zone and pedestrian safety improvements.

No formal council action was taken on the parking agreements at the meeting; town staff said they will return with agreement documents and any implementation details for council consideration.

Jeff Darlington, executive director of Placer Land Trust, told the council the group has raised about $13 million of a $16 million acquisition goal to buy and protect the valley floor. “We have an MOU with Jessup to raise money to protect a portion of Clover Valley,” Darlington said, adding that the purchase, if funding rounds close as expected, could complete in early April.

The conservation easement that Placer Land Trust intends to record will be perpetual, Darlington said, and will prevent subdivision and most development on the protected acreage. He said Jessup currently holds title and would remain the landowner initially; stakeholders including the Placer County Office of Education (PCOE) have expressed interest in using the site as an outdoor classroom.

“PCOE is very interested in using the property as an outdoor learning location for all of our students from kindergarten through college,” Darlington said. He described the valley floor as habitat with sensitive Native American cultural resources and said the acquisition would permanently prevent hundreds of homes that had been contemplated under earlier development proposals.

Members of the public and nearby jurisdictions urged Loomis to support the purchase. “If you invest, then you get a seat at the table,” said Neil Bullock, a Rocklin resident and member of Rocklin’s Parks and Recreation Commission, adding that Loomis is closer to the likely entrance than many Rocklin neighborhoods. Marilyn Jasper of the Clover Valley Foundation said local organizing to save the valley began in the late 1990s and urged Loomis to re‑engage in the current effort.

Council members and residents raised budget concerns about any contribution. One councilmember noted that an earlier staff estimate for a potential Loomis contribution was not feasible: “That is 9% of our budget, way too expensive,” the councilmember said during the meeting. Council members asked staff to confirm which municipal funds could legally be used for a contribution and to return with more detail.

Darlington said the immediate acquisition funding window is closing and that his present request was for the council to consider supporting near‑term management (he estimated a preliminary need of about $1 million when earlier funding gaps existed) and to participate in longer‑term planning. He clarified on the record that the exact amount requested from Loomis had not been fixed and that Placer Land Trust would return with a more detailed ask if the council wishes to consider it.

Town Manager Wes noted earlier in the meeting that the project aligns with council goals to expand parks and open space resources.

The council did not take a formal funding vote at the meeting. Members generally expressed interest in staying involved and asked staff to (a) confirm legal permissibility of using restricted funds such as tree‑mitigation funds, (b) identify which Loomis budgets or restricted accounts could be available for a one‑time contribution, and (c) bring a recommendation and potential dollar ranges back for a future meeting.

Darlington and local supporters said a Loomis contribution — even a modest one — would secure a seat at the stakeholder table and a role in shaping public access, educational programming and management terms. Darlington said access and parking logistics remain to be decided; he said one likely vehicle access point is Rawhide Road in Rocklin and that detailed site and visitor planning would follow acquisition and easement recording.

Residents who spoke urged the council to act, emphasizing that protection of the valley would prevent the residential development that previously had been proposed and would preserve habitat and cultural resources for future generations.

The council directed staff to follow up and return with further analysis and recommendations on funding sources and next steps.

Robert (last name not provided in the presentation), partnership development manager for William Jessup University, described Jessup as a small, WASC‑accredited institution based in Rocklin with about 2,000 students and emphasized its focus on employability, internships and community partnerships. “We want to actually be a partner to help meet your needs,” he said, describing partnerships Jessup has signed with other nearby cities.

Jessup said the MOU model typically includes a staff tuition discount (example: 20% was discussed in the presentation), opportunities for on‑campus recruitment and mock interviews, and the option to customize short certificate programs for partner employers. Robert said graduate certificates and online options are available now; Jessup is exploring stand‑alone undergraduate certificate offerings that would let local staff take a small number of targeted courses for credentialing.

Council members asked for the standard MOU terms and clarified questions about accreditation and program formats. “We are WASC accredited,” Robert said in response to a question about regional accreditation. Councilmembers expressed particular interest in internship pipelines and said they would like to see the MOU text before formal approval.

Town staff recommended moving forward with drafting an MOU for the council to review. The council gave direction to prepare the formal MOU and return it for consideration at a future meeting.
