Loomis approves lease with South Placer Fire District for Magnolia Street parking lot
Summary
The town approved a multi‑year lease with the South Placer Fire District to use a vacant parcel behind town hall as public parking. The lease is $1 per year; staff said materials and volunteer labor will be sought for improvements that will yield about 20 overnight/overflow spaces for downtown.
The Loomis Town Council approved a lease June 10 with the South Placer Fire District to use a bare parcel at 3664 Magnolia Street — behind town hall — as public parking.
Town Manager Wes described a five‑year agreement that automatically renews annually unless either party terminates it. The town will pay $1 per year (effectively $5 over five years) for the lot; the lease restricts use to public vehicle parking.
Carol said the space would create roughly 20 overflow parking stalls to serve the downtown Horseshoe‑Bar/Taylor Road corridor. The town intends to fund materials from the general fund and is pursuing volunteer labor; Penryn Church has already offered to review the site and donate labor, and local contractors have expressed willingness to assist. Staff estimated the materials cost would be well under the town manager’s $50,000 signature authority and would return to council if larger funding were required.
Council voted by roll call in favor of the staff recommendation: Council member Youngblood — Aye; Council member Cortez — Aye; Council member Cartwright — Aye; Council member Clark‑Kretz — Yes; Mayor Ring — Yes.
The council asked staff to add wayfinding signage and to coordinate a site plan and volunteer work days. No changes to the lease terms were recorded at the meeting.
