PUBLIC DISCUSSION: Stephanie Hobbs, Ripon, said that the Council needs to consider the money allocation on any project and make priorities. She is concerned about the revitalization of Stouffer Field. She said the Ripon Community Athletic Foundation has received $60,000.00 in donations, so far. She said students reach their potential through athletics. She said the field is not just for students, but for the whole community, so this is not just a School District project.

Linda Izaguirre, Ripon, said that adults and the ROTC use the field also. She said that organized sports encourage kids to stay in school and go on to college. She said that the school belongs to the community and the community belongs to the school.

Steve Magazinovic, Ripon, said he has coached for six seasons, and the field is unsafe, and the track is in bad condition and not ADA compliant. He asked the question: ‘Why should the City help’ — he said because without a school, there is no city, and without a city, there is no school.
