HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The contract renewal for City Manager Jeff Cantrell is up for a vote of the Hutchinson City Council at its meeting on Tuesday. All of the terms of the contract are the same as they were last year. Cantrell's compensation would remain approximately $167,000 plus benefits.

Those benefits include a $500 per month vehicle allowance, a $90 per month cell phone allowance and vacation and executive leave days along with the customary senior management medical and dental benefits, sick leave and holiday schedules.

Also on the agenda Tuesday is a discussion of options regarding the Woodie Seat Freeway, though there doesn't appear to be any new supporting documents in the agenda for the meeting.

Also back on the agenda is the proposed quarter-cent sales tax to be renewed with the same distribution to the same entities as before, 47% for street and sidewalk improvements, though it has been generally used on streets, 15% for property tax reduction, 33% to the Cosmosphere for ongoing operations and capital improvements and 5% to Strataca for ongoing operations and capital improvements.

The Hutchinson City Council meets Tuesday at 9 a.m. at City Hall.
