Packed agenda for county commission Tuesday

Posted Dec 12, 2021 11:37 AM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of Reno County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday will have several potentially newsworthy issues on the agenda.

The updates to the comprehensive plan and the amendments to the zoning regulations regarding wind farms are on the agenda, as is the protested planning case regarding the quarry for Mid-States Materials where action by the commission, if they choose to allow the case to go forward, may be legally challenged.

Also on the agenda are the recommendations for the 2021 Wage Study for the county and the health department's responses to the questions raised by Reno County Commissioner Daniel Friesen regarding the county's response to COVID-19.

A number of those items have had at least some serious pushback from one commissioner or another over the course of 2021. There is also the chance that a recommendation on the county counselor's position could be added to the agenda, as those interviews took place Friday.

The Board of Reno County Commissioners meets at 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Reno County Annex.
