HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson city council member Jon Richardson asked this week that his fellow members consider whether the meetings of the council should continue to be at 9 a.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of every month.
"I would like to bring back up the discussion in regards to moving the city council meetings or figuring out something else in regard to what time they start," Richardson said. "I would like to schedule a time for all of us to have that on an agenda item to discuss and see if we want to move forward or leave it the way it is. That's a request."
Vice-Mayor Stacy Goss agreed that the issue needs to be dispensed with, one way or the other.
"I think it's one of the loose ends to tie up from last year and some of the conversations that have been had over the past couple of months," Goss said.
Mayor Greg Fast agreed that it needs to be done in a regular meeting.
"We need to have an official discussion about that and decide, as a council, what would be best for the community," Fast said.
It wasn't clear whether the discussion will be later in January or early in February. Also, with a new permanent city manager joining soon, it might be of value to know their preference before a change is made, but the hiring of that person has not happened yet.
