HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Interim Hutchinson City Manager Gary Meagher gave more details on the way the meeting with the consultant to talk about his replacement will go.

"November 1st is when the council will meet with the recruiter, Art Davis," Meagher said Tuesday. "At that time, he'll have a list of candidates he'll have gone through. Art has not only received applications, but those that are qualified, he's asked for additional information. He'll have information on these candidates, probably make some recommendations, allow you to look at the list of candidates and their qualifications, make a selection on those that you would like to interview and set a date for those interviews."

They are looking at starting in the evening, potentially as early as 5 p.m. on November 1.

"You'll have the evening, too," Meagher said. "That will take a little bit of time. That will be an executive session. I know it makes kind of a long day, because you have a council meeting in the morning, but I think it would be good if you have that time period, you can focus."

There were 33 applicants a few weeks ago, and more have been received since then.
