ADDED TO COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA - February 23rd

Reconsider motion approved February 10th – Ripon Area Fire District
On February 10th, Council approved a motion authorizing payment of the City’s share of a fire district shortfall in the amount of $25,002.39, using monies from the “Welcome to Ripon” sign project. The City wouldn’t make payment until the towns submitted payments, and the city would designate up to $15,000 in the 2009 contingency budget for possible overruns in 2009.” Councilmember Brockman, who voted for this motion, has asked that it be brought back before the Council for reconsideration, due to concerns about whether the amount was sufficient, given the fire camera donations fund issue.

NOTE: This is the money that was going to be used on benches for the downtown and other projects, but has been re-directed at my suggestion.
