HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The motion to move forward with the demolition of the Atrium Hotel will come before the Hutchinson City Council on Tuesday.

Despite pleas from the owner, Joshua Joseph for the ability to redo the building into storage and retail, it appears the council wants to go forward with the demolition, as they didn't believe he'd actually finish the project.

Also on the agenda for Tuesday is doing the official paperwork so City Manager Enrico Villegas can conduct banking business on the City's behalf, and designating a special event district for the Reno County vs. the World boxing event and the official swearing in of new City Clerk, Mary Rogers. In addition the city will finish up work on its contract with the IAFF.

The Hutchinson City Council meets at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.
