HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Now that the permanent hire of a police chief is behind them, the Hutchinson City Council will begin narrowing the field for a permanent City Manager hire.
"We've narrowed it down to 12 out of the over 40 applicants," said Mayor Jon Richardson. "The next step, over the next week or two, is for council members to narrow that down to three to four to invite for in person interviews."
Those interviews would likely happen late this month or early next month, but given the amount of notice a currently working City Manager would need to give to their employer, it could be the first of the year before a permanent hire is in place and working.
