HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council will take action on a new contract for City Manager Jeff Cantrell during Tuesday’s agenda session.
Cantrell is entering his second year as city manager and will get a merit increase of 2.5%. With that, his base salary will increase to around $167,000 per year, plus benefits.
Also Tuesday, the council will go over an ordinance for issuing general obligation bonds to pay for parking lot improvements at both Carey Parks Golf Course and Fun Valley and take action on an Emergency Solutions Grant application from BrightHouse totaling $40,600.
Finally, the council will consider a bid from Ward Davis Builders for the 23rd and John storm sewer project at a cost of $244,787. The bid is higher than engineers' estimates, but volatile material costs are driving prices higher. The work will include a new storm pipe and new stormwater inlets, along with drainage ditch grading.
Tuesday’s city council meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Hutchinson city offices.
