PUBLIC HEARING
14. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE EXTENDING AN EXISTING ONE-QUARTER CENT
TRANSACTION AND USE (SALES) TAX TO FUND LOCAL COMMUNITY SERVICES In July 2016, Placer County closed the Loomis Branch Library. In response, the Town Council of Loomis voted 5-0 to establish a municipal (town) library, and put a sales tax (Measure F) and advisory measure (Measure G) on the November 2016 ballot.
Loomis voters approved Measures F and G. The 0.25 percent sales tax imposed by Measure F is set to expire in 2026. The proposed ordinance submitted for the Council's consideration would extend the Town's authority to levy the one-quarter percent sales tax until such authority is repealed by Loomis voters
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Town Council should introduce, read the title of, and waive further reading of the attached resolution and ordinance asking voters whether the existing one-quarter percent (i.e., 0.25%) transaction and use (sales) tax to fund community services should be extended.
The Council should also direct staff on future actions
