HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners are set to consider an Administrative Services Agreement with Ranson Financial to handle loan and grant applications/administration with KDHE for the Water Revolving Loan Fund and the Small Town Water and Sewer Infrastructure Assistance Grant at their meeting on Wednesday.

According to agenda documents, if the county applies for USDA funds, Ranson would also be able to assist with that process.

Ranson is currently on contract for similar administrative services on the HABIT/Yoder sewer project.

Reno County sent out a request for proposals to the two companies in the region that have the necessary experience to handle loan/grant administration. Ranson was the only company to respond.

Funding for the agreement will be paid from the loan and/or grant that will cover the costs of the capital project. The repayment of a loan will be  by the water district residents.

The Board of County Commissioners meets Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the Veterans Room at the Reno County Courthouse.
