“It’s going to be a multifaceted approach that we hope that our market study will address. “So, it’s not going to take one approach to fix childcare,” she said. “We just want you to know that childcare is a really complex issue that we’ve been putting Band-Aids on,” said Denice Gilliland-Burbank, Community Impact Coordinator at the United Way of Reno County. Meanwhile, the ARPA task force presented the same report to the city council it presented last week to the Reno County Commission and reiterated its recommendation that both municipalities use most of the money to address the child care crisis in the city and county. “We’re going to have those major projects staring at us and that is going to impact our ability to have bond coverage for other projects in the future,” Cantrell said. The remainder he’d like to reserve for the city for “non-budgeted items that are going to eat at our budget in a pretty significant way,” Cantrell said, such as the purchase and demolition of the shuttered Atrium Hotel and redevelopment of the Woodie Seat Freeway. Half, Cantrell suggested, can be used toward recommendations of a community task force that presented those recommendations on Tuesday.
Hutchinson City Manager Jeff Cantrell advised the city council Tuesday that he’ll recommend the city’s $6.126 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars be split in half.
