RIPON – As elected officials, the Ripon City Council members receive health benefits.Councilman Chuck Winn, however, would like to see his colleagues follow his lead and take a reduction of this compensation. He brought up this proposal twice during the summer.City Attorney Tom Terpstra stated that “a council cannot vote to impose a reduction on members who do not wish to have a reduction.”He added: “Council has a compensation and benefit package that is vested through their term, but no one is entitled to a second term.” Action was put on hold on until after the election.
