HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council will approve its 2021 subsidy agreements with the Hutchinson Symphony Association, Reno Choral Society and Stage 9 on Tuesday. Also slated is the approval of lease renewal with the Salthawk Archery Association and an approval of the contract with Hutchinson Friends of the Zoo for operation of a narrow gauge train and a separate contract with the same group related to the employment of a Zoo administrative assistant.
The subsidy to the Reno Choral Society is $2,813.74. The subsidy to the Hutchinson Symphony Association is $5000 and the subsidy to Stage 9 is $1,794.
The lease for the Salthawk Archery Association on West 4th Street is for $250 a year.
The train contract at the zoo allows the Friends of the Zoo to keep the proceeds from the train for its maintenance.
The administrative assistant agreement notes that the administrative assistant is a city employee, but that the Friends of the Zoo pays the city what it costs to have that person on staff.
All of those contracts are part of the Hutchinson City Council's consent agenda for Tuesday's meeting. The meeting begins at 9 a.m.
