HUTCHINSON, Kan. — With no discussion, the Reno County Commission appointed Harley Macklin and Bruce Buchanan to the planning commission. Their appointments are effective immediately and they will serve on that board until the end of 2021.
Commissioners also approved a certified power train rebuild by Foley Equipment on a Solid Waste CAT 826H compactor at a cost of $347,841. This is not the first time this has been done. Officials say it could take six to eight weeks to complete. They do have one other machine they will use in the meantime.
The commission also approved a contract with Reno County Community Corrections and Horizons Mental Health Center for behavioral health services for drug court participants at a cost of $26,190. The money will come from a Justice Assistance grant. According to officials, there are currently 29 clients currently using the service.
