HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Final approval of a contract for a long-awaited stormwater control measure on the Kansas State Fairgrounds is part of the Hutchinson City Council's agenda on Tuesday.
The City of Hutchinson has an existing lease from 1994 with the Kansas State Fair for a real estate tract adjacent to the water treatment center on East 23rd Avenue. The lease is for a seventy-five year (75) period.
The City of Hutchinson wishes to build a stormwater control measure on that tract. The stormwater control measure will manage stormwater runoff from an upstream tributary area. The stormwater control measure will be built of a sufficient size for the Kansas State Fair to receive the maximum stormwater credit of fifty percent (50%) deducted from the Fair’s stormwater utility fees assessed by the City.
The proposed agreement with the Kansas State Fair is to be approved by the council before it goes into effect.
The fifty percent (50%) credit will commence upon approval of the contract. The stormwater control measure will be constructed within three (3) years from the date of execution of the agreement.
This proposed contract has been previously approved by the Board of the Kansas State Fair.
The Hutchinson City Council meets Tuesday at 9 a.m. at City Hall.
