HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Administrator Randy Partington reminded the Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday that there is a planned joint meeting for them with the Hutchinson City Council next week.

"It will be December 6 following their City Council meeting," said Partington. "I'm not sure exactly what time their meetings end, probably mid to late morning. I'm going to work with Gary, the interim manager, to set up an agenda. I had on the original list, I think, in talking with one of the commissioners, the water infrastructure and possibly sewer infrastructure requests and partnerships that the city and county may want to partake in."

Commission chair Daniel Friesen wants to talk about economic development, too. He cited the recent groundbreaking at the city's industrial park as one area where they have worked together.

"I was able to attend that with the Mayor and the Chamber," Friesen said. "It was very cold. I think an agenda item on, hey, we are working together, how do we do more of that, related to economic development, I think would be great. It seems like the winds have changed a little bit at the city."

Partington did not say where that meeting would take place.
