The Ripon City Council will reappoint members of the Planning Commission and Parks & Recreation Commission with expiring terms tonight.

During the 6 o’clock monthly session at City Hall, 259 N. Wilma Ave., elected leaders will tack on four more years to the seats occupied by current Chairperson Debra Van Essen and James West, respectively Seat 4 and Seat 5 on the Planning Commission.

They’re also scheduled to reappoint alternate Seat 6 belonging to Jeff Veilleux, who has expressed an interest of re-upping for another four years.
