HUTCHINSON, Kan. — There is some brief work that the three member commission of Daniel Friesen, Ron Hirst and Ron Sellers will finish at 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 9 before the new commissioners who were elected are seated.
"We will begin the meeting with the three commissioners, go through maybe the consent agenda, a couple items, some of the housekeeping of what's been worked on this year, this month, so that current commission can make those decisions. Then, we will have Judge Rose come do a swearing in. She's coming over at 10 a.m. At that point, we'll kind of pause the meeting, do the swearing in and a reorganization and switch the seats."
We know for sure that Randy Parks and Don Bogner will be seated then, but we don't know yet if the process will be completed to fill Mark Reese's seat by that date and the fire resolution is going to be done before the installation, according to Partington.
"It's on the consent agenda for the three commissioners," Partington said. "The two new ones coming in are aware of it. They've seen copies of the burn resolution. There's a few minor modifications. Everything else is what the county commission wanted changes to."
The proposed resolution has been reviewed and edited by all of the fire chiefs in Reno County, the Kansas Forest Service, NRCS, Conservation District, District Attorney's Office, County Counselor and Emergency Management.
