The Hutchinson City Council learned Tuesday that the city manager has targeted April 1 as the date to reopen city hall, and that patrols of city parks are stepping up.
The council also appeared to support the city remaining a member of the Regional Economic Area Partnership for about $10,000 per year but it rejected an idea to use idle economic development funds to create a low-interest revolving loan program to support moving small businesses into vacant buildings around town.
The issues were among a range of topics touched on Tuesday not on the council’s agenda but were brought up after the board finished its few agenda items in less than 15 minutes.
