Town Council approves appointed clerk following May election results

The Loomis Town Council held a special meeting on April 23, 2024, primarily focused on certifying the results of a recent election regarding the appointment of a town clerk. The meeting was attended by a single member of the public who expressed concerns about road conditions on Del Mar, highlighting ongoing issues with potholes and the need for further repairs.

During the public comment period, the resident noted that while some pothole repairs had been made, the overall condition of the road had deteriorated significantly, especially after recent rains. The resident mentioned previous discussions with the town's engineer about potential improvements, indicating that a decision on further action is expected in June. The resident also raised concerns about traffic from neighboring areas and the possibility of restricting access to the road, although it was clarified that such measures are not currently being considered.

Following public comments, the council moved to the main agenda item, which involved adopting a resolution to certify the election results. The election allowed for the appointment of a town clerk rather than requiring the position to be filled through an election. The council unanimously approved the resolution, with members expressing the need to establish a process for appointing the clerk, which is expected to be discussed in July.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to address the appointment process and ongoing road maintenance issues, reflecting the council's responsiveness to community concerns.
