HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Commission tabled the resolution over a conditional use permit for Dale Lehman for a manufacturing facility and retail sales facility on property he owns near K-96 west of Yoder.

Commissioner Ron Sellers says he noticed retail items closer to the highway than what he thought was approved. No one for the planning department was present to discuss which parcel of land was actually approved, so the resolution — a part of the consent agenda — will be taken up next week.

The commission approved the conditional use permit, but now has to approve a resolution to make it official.

The commission also changed some wording in the profile of what the new county administrator would be responsible for and what the priorities would be for that position. The commission listed a starting salary of $120,000. Officials say that is average for similar-sized counties in the state. However, that amount would be subject to negotiations.

The wording needed to be approved so that Austin Peters Group can get the information out to get candidates quickly. The county wants to have someone hired by the end of the year to replace the current administrator Gary Meagher. He will be retiring at the end of his contract at the end of the year.
