QUESTION FROM READER
Will there be additional open meetings scheduled for discussion of this plan? How will they be publicized? Will there be handouts detailing the plan for the residents to take home with them and think about how these changes will affect their lives and property, and the overall effect on Ripon?

ANSWER: At this point, no additional meetings are planned other than the open house mentioned above. The final report will be available at the meeting on the 26th, and I am pushing for copies to be placed on-line at either the City of Ripon website or the Ripon Main Street site. One thing to remember is that these are "recommendations". Actual implementation will allow for more discussion before action takes place.
