HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Administrator Randy Partington said that Reno County and the City of Hutchinson have agreed on a joint meeting date.
"We're looking at the joint meeting, the date would be May 23," Partington said Tuesday. "Last meeting, we talked about some possible dates and I received an email from City Manager Kendal Francis that May 23 should work. We'll just have to figure out the time and location, but that is the day of a normal county commission meeting."
Commissioner Randy Parks asked about Chairman Daniel Friesen's effort to get the city and Buhler USD 313 on the same page about Lucille north of 30th and Friesen would like to see the meeting happen at Prairie Hills if they can get the logistics worked out.
"That's a joint meeting, not a study session," Partington said. "That's one that's not going to be televised, unless you guys say that we need to do it. That wouldn't be my recommendation on that meeting."
The concern is that since one side is a township road and the other is in the City limits, figuring out who would pay for any improvements, if they were decided upon, would be difficult.
The official time for the joint meeting on May 23 has not yet been set.
