Reno County Commission meeting Tuesday could be lengthy

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The upcoming Reno County Commission meeting could be lengthy since commissioners did not meet Tuesday.

This Tuesday, commissioners will discuss the county’s ability to retire building bonds for the Reno County Correctional Facility and other county facility improvements. With that, the ½ cent sales tax county residents have been paying will come to an end.

Commissioners will also consider a contract with Landmark Architects to complete a study for the renovation, or possible replacement, of the building housing Fire District 3, located in Nickerson. The cost of the contract would not exceed $5,300.

The commission will also consider placing items on Purple Wave to be sold and the purchase of other vehicles for various departments.

The commission could approve a new economic policy for companies coming to the county.

Commissioners will consider amending the agreement with Tyler Technologies for law enforcement software. The amendment would allow the Hutchinson Fire Department to add fire records and fire mobile modules to the shared software system already in place. Reno County has to sign the agreement since it is the license holder for the software.

There would be no financial obligation on the county’s part. That cost would be paid by the city of Hutchinson.

The Reno County Commission meeting begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the Reno County Courthouse.
