HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Amy Conkling with Hutch Rec told Hutch Post she had a meeting on Thursday as the study of the numbers for Salt City Splash is going forward.
"We've been collecting a lot of data for that," Conkling said. "The key indicators in what we wanted to find out was the attendance trends of Salt City Splash and the Y. There's a lot of questions of, why is the attendance what it is at Salt City Splash. We wanted our facilitator to really research that information. They are doing that."
The meeting was about next steps in getting the data analyzed and into a form that the governing body and the public can understand.
"The goal is for later this year that there is a report made with either recommendations or things that the contractor sees, but the goal is that sometime in November, December, to present that to City Council. That will be about the same time that we're presenting our end of season reports for Salt City Splash. Be on the lookout, but the big piece of this is the community engagement part. We did that in August."
There will be more opportunities for the community to let Hutch Rec and the City Council know their feelings on the issue.
