Loomis honors local artist and proclaims Paul Yokote Day
Summary
Council recognized resident artist Hillary Wallace for a volunteer mural project and adopted a resolution establishing July 18 as Paul Yokote Day to honor a longtime community volunteer and founder of Paul's Place Association.
The Town Council used its recognitions segment to honor two community contributors. Council members presented a certificate to Hillary Wallace for volunteer work that restored downtown fruit labels and produced a mural on the Costco retaining wall; presenters praised her local‑history research and the mural’s depiction of Loomis heritage.
Later in the meeting the council adopted a resolution designating July 18 annually as Paul Yokote Day in memory of Paul Yokote, who founded Paul’s Place Association and supported youth scholarships in Loomis. Members of Paul’s Place Association and longtime residents spoke about Yokote’s decades of community involvement; the council approved a $750 plaque appropriation to mark his home and discussed a July 11 fundraiser to restart ongoing association activities.
The recognitions were ceremonial; no regulatory actions were taken beyond adoption of the Paul Yokote Day resolution on the consent calendar.
