Ripon City Council Meeting Notice & Agenda
CITY HALL, 259 NORTH WILMA, RIPON, CALIFORNIA
TUESDAY, MAY 09, 2023 – 6:00 PM
REGULAR MEETING
You are now participating in the process of representative government. We welcome your interest and hope you will attend Ripon City Council meetings often. Democracy cannot endure without an informed electorate.
Ripon, as you probably know, has a council-administrator form of local government. Policies are set by the Council, who are elected by the people. These policies are carried out by the City Administrator, who is appointed by the Council. The Council decides what is to be done. The City Administrator, with the assistance of the City Staff, follows through.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETINGS
The governing body meets at 6:00 P.M., on the second Tuesday of the month, in the Council Chambers located in City Hall, 259 North Wilma, Ripon, California. A City Council meeting is the process of making and amending laws, developing policy and making decisions for governing your City by citizens who have been elected by you. With the exception of matters of personnel and pending litigation, or negotiations, the City Council takes action only in meetings open to the public.
The City Council follows a regular order of business during its meeting. The Council agenda is prepared in advance by the City Administrator and his staff. If you wish to place an item on the agenda for action, the information must be delivered to the City Administrator or staff eight (8) working days prior to the Council meeting. This date will be revised in case of holidays or special events. The information must be in writing (no phone calls), your name and address must be printed, and action desired must be clearly stated. Copies of the agenda are available at Ripon City Hall and online 72 hours prior to the meeting, or at the time of the scheduled meeting.
With the publication of this agenda, it is with the intent that each item on the agenda will be considered for a vote. Each Council Member present will cast a vote either for or against the motion under consideration, and the vote will be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. For example, the motion may be to approve, adopt, introduce, deny, fail, withdraw, table, or continue an item.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION
If you desire to speak before the Council on an item not on the agenda, please address "Mr. Mayor" and upon being recognized, come forward to the podium, and state your name and address before proceeding into your subject matter.
State law prohibits the City Council from taking action on any item not on the agenda. While the City Council cannot always answer citizens concerns raised during the public discussion time, the City staff will be instructed, where appropriate, to either provide a response in the days following each Council meeting, or to place the issue on a subsequent meeting agenda for the City Council or one of its appointed commissions. No person shall speak for more than three minutes, and the total time allotted for discussion shall not exceed thirty minutes. Persons attending the meeting shall observe rules of propriety, decorum, and good conduct, and refrain from impertinent or slanderous remarks. If you wish to make a comment via email please submit the Public Comment Form by 4:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting to the City Clerk at [email protected] and note the specific agenda item, if applicable. Comments are limited to 250 words or less and will be read by the City Clerk.
