Ripon Public Works Committee Proposal Will Come Before The City Council
Ripon could be bringing back a Public Works Committee. It would be somewhat different from a board that was previously in place. The Council Tuesday night voted 4 to 3 to bring the proposal back before the Council at their next meeting. Alderman Aaron Becker had proposed the committee, which would be modeled after the library board and somewhat after a previous public works board. It will require repealing a previous ordinance and creating a new one. Mayor Gary Will suggested having four council members on it like the previous board instead of a five person committee with three aldermen serving on it. He told the Council, “The wheel is there, let’s just get it greased up and going again.” The original public works board had four council members, and the City Attorney and Administrator also attended the meetings.
