Update: According to an email from Shonda Arpin with Reno County, Tuesday's meeting of the Board of County Commissioners has been cancelled due to a lack of quorum.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County commissioners will meet on Tuesday. The lone item on the agenda is a request to rezone 14 acres of land near the intersection of Lorraine and East 43rd Avenue.

The request from the Jim Oswald Family Trust would rezone the parcel of land to agriculture, which would then tie into 27 adjacent acres of land under the zoning designation already.

Also Tuesday, the commission will get an update from Hutchinson Regional Medical Center regarding hospital capacity and the trends officials are seeing from President and CEO Ken Johnson. The board will also hear from Interim Health Department Director Karen Hammersmith regarding the latest information on the pandemic.

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