HUTCHINSON, Kan. — It looks like the Hutchinson City Council and the Board of Reno County Commissioners are likely to meet next week. The council agreed in principle to a meeting July 27th with the commission.
The intent of the council appeared to be to discuss the gun range issue at the joint meeting, but not before.
"Could we have a side-by-side of the latest revisions of the contract from the city and the county?" asked council member Jade Piros de Carvalho.
City manager Jeff Cantrell agreed that they need that information to speak intelligently about it when they meet together.
"My fear is, the more public discussion that occurs on this without the people actually having the agreements in front of them, this just becomes such confusion and misconception over what the needs of both agencies are that I don't think it's safe to talk about it publicly," Cantrell said.
Cantrell did note that the joint work session will be a public meeting and it is his intent to put all the facts on the table then.
A time has not been set for the July 27th meeting.
