HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council went over a list of 11 properties that were considered unsafe during Tuesday’s agenda session. The properties are a continued effort by the city to have older structures either repaired or removed.

The council passed a resolution giving property owners 30 days to either make repairs to the structures or have a solid plan in place to do so.

The council also approved the refinancing of $4.5 million in industrial revenue bonds for Wesley Towers Retirement Community. The city is the go-between for the bonds and is not under any financial obligation. The bonds are being refinanced because of lower interest rates.

The council has hired a search firm to find the next city manager. The firm of Strategic Government Resources out of Dallas will handle the duties to find the replacement for John Deardoff, who will retire next spring.
