HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners will have more budget matters to go over during Tuesday's meeting. 

The board will hear budget requests from economic development, arts and humanities, the 4-H Fair, and the extension office. Like the City Council, the commissioners will hold a public hearing and then seek approval for filing a CDBG grant to help small businesses deal with the pandemic. The funds would provide $300,000 of relief.

The board will also hear reports from County Elections Clerk Jenna Fager and a report from Sheriff Darrian Campbell on the positive COVID-19 case in the county correctional facility.

The meeting will start with the weekly report from Emergency Management Director Adam Weishaar and Health Department Director Nick Baldetti on the pandemic.

Tuesday’s meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Reno County Courthouse.
