HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council will hear a report connected to a proposal from a group of students that would like the city to make all parks tobacco free.

The proposal was brought to the council by teens from Communities that Care in September. Now, the council will hear a report on possible regulations that could be put in place. No action will be taken.

Also Tuesday, the council will take action on a bid for a sanitary sewer collection project at a cost of $1.45 million. If approved, the work would be done by Utility Solutions, LLC.

Finally, the council will take action on proposed water and sewer rates. Under the the proposal, water rates would increase from $25.15 for an average residential user to $26.50 per month. The sewer rates for the city would increase from $12.68 for a household to $14.32 per month. Both rates will increase a few points through the year 2022 under the proposal.

Tuesday’s meeting of the Hutchinson City Council begins at 9 a.m. at the city offices.
