Reno County Commissioners approve agenda items

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Commission approved two resolutions as part of the consent agenda Tuesday.

One item was tabled last week for Dale Lehman, who wants a conditional use permit for a manufacturing facility and also a retail sales facility near K-96 and McNew Road. That project is pretty much complete.

The other is for a conditional use permit by Garber Leasing to establish a commercial use for a contractor’s office and storage facility north of 43rd and Plum. With the approval of the resolution for this project, work could begin in the very near future.

The commission also approved wording for the profile to recruit a new Reno County administrator. One change from last week is the proposed salary for the new administrator. Last week, the amount talked about was $120,000. Commissioners upped that in the actual wording of the profile to $125,000. However, that amount would be up for negotiations when the candidate is hired.

The commissioners want to have interviews in December. The hope is to have someone hired when the current administrator retires at the end of his contract toward the end of the year.
