The Reno County Health Department will be on the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting of the Reno County Board of Commissioners.
Due to a resignation, the commissioners will consider a replacement appointment to the health department’s advisory board. The health department also requests an exemption for sanitary inspection in schools because of vague Kansas statutes.
Business items include a resolution to partner with the City of Hutchinson regarding new housing developments. From 2010 to 2021, demolitions exceeded new construction, impacting Reno County’s housing supply. The resolution proposes extending grants for new housing development to all the county’s towns.
The commissioners will consider an agreement with the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for a new EMS station in Arlington.
An addendum to the county’s agreement with iParametrics to assist with administering ARPA funds completes the business portion of the agenda.
Monthly department reports will finish the order of business.
The Reno County Board of Commissioners meets on the second, fourth and fifth Wednesdays of each month at 9 a.m. in the Veteran’s Room of the Reno County Courthouse, 206 W 1st Ave.
