HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County commissioners will consider a number of equipment purchases for the Public Works department during Tuesday’s agenda session.
The board will look over more than $400,000 worth of purchases, including two new pickups, a hydraulic trailer, two tractors and a mower attachment, and a new excavator. All of the purchases are part of the consent agenda.
Also Tuesday, the board will get an update from Adam Weishaar of the Emergency Management Department, then hold a public hearing and take final action on the closing out of the CDBG-CV grant fund. The pandemic-related fund was to help small businesses in the county deal with expenses during the height of the pandemic. The grant totaled $132,000.
The board will hold more discussion regarding wind farms in the county. It is not clear if any action will be taken following that discussion.
Tuesday’s meeting of the Reno County Commission begins at 9 a.m. at the Reno County Courthouse.
