Council also set a public hearing for May 6 on a proposed Community Improvement District (CID) for Hutchinson Mall Phase 2.

Why it matters: The actions advance financing and administrative steps for city projects and private development that could affect infrastructure funding and downtown/economic development plans. The council’s approvals give staff authority to proceed with bond issuance, finalize a franchise agreement and accept a developer-funded agreement as the CID process moves toward a public hearing.

What the council approved

- Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda by motion and roll call vote (see vote record below). The consent agenda covered routine administrative items listed on the meeting packet.

- Ordinance: Franchise fee for transportation of natural gas by Black Hills Energy — approved. City Attorney Paul Brown summarized the ordinance as an update of prior language with no change to rate or term. Council approved the ordinance by roll-call votes (Richardson, Garza, Fast, Meggers and Mayor Goss recorded as “Yes” on the roll call included in the minutes).

- Resolution: Authorizing sale of general obligation bonds (Series 2025A tax-exempt and Series 2025B taxable) — approved. Finance Director Angela Richard told council the bonds would fund multiple capital projects (Woody Seat Phase 2, city hall safety improvements, 30th Avenue reconstruction, city hall boiler, fire station preemption, LEC elevator repair) and that staff expects to advertise, obtain a Moody’s rating and accept bids with an anticipated sale in late May and closing in late June.

- Resolution: Public hearing on advisability of a Community Improvement District (CID) for Hutchinson Mall Phase 2 — council set a public hearing for May 6 at 5:30 p.m. The resolution authorizes publication of the notice and staff will present a development agreement and more details at the May 6 meeting.

- Contract/funding agreement: Council approved a funding agreement between Rockstep Hutchinson LLC (the mall owner/developer) and the City of Hutchinson that covers payment of the city’s costs for legal and administrative work related to the CID and development agreement. Staff recommended approval and the council voted to authorize the mayor to sign.

What residents said

- Pastor Daryl Peterson (805 E. Avenue B) told council a property three houses from his had accumulated large amounts of trash and debris for nearly a year and that repeated city inspections had not resolved the problem. He also reported a washout in the alley by Severance and said he had filed complaints in person.

- Chris Jackson (814 E. Avenue B) said another neighboring property is a severe hoarding case with trash piled to the ceiling inside the home, a rodent problem (possums and raccoons), and unsafe cooking methods (propane torches). Jackson said he had reported the house previously and was concerned emergency responders and adjoining properties would be at risk if the home caught fire.

Staff response

- Matt Williams, director of community development, said he had not previously heard about these particular properties but would follow up and look into both complaints. He said many code-enforcement cases eventually move into the court system, which can delay visible status updates for complainants.

- Mayor and staff also advised residents about SeeClickFix. The mayor and staff noted that SeeClickFix creates a trackable ticket and provides email updates about status changes; staff acknowledged that once a case moves to the court process the ticket may no longer be actively updated but the city continues to pursue enforcement through that process.

Ending: Staff committed to reviewing the two properties cited in public comment and to follow up with complainants. Councilmembers encouraged residents to submit SeeClickFix tickets to create trackable records and to allow staff to provide updates to complainants.","During public comment at the April 15 Hutchinson City Council meeting, two residents raised concerns about a hoarding situation at a nearby home and an alley that has washed out.

City staff and outside sign professionals described how the current code treats murals, wall signs and billboards and urged the council to consider a public primer to help property owners and artists comply.

Why it matters: Murals can be artistic enhancements to the public realm and may attract visitors, but when murals include commercial advertising the city’s sign regulations apply. Balancing public art, historical painted signs and regulated advertising affects downtown appearance, economic activity and code enforcement.

Key points from the discussion

- Legal baseline: Matt Williams, director of community development, said Hutchinson’s sign regulations are in Chapter 27 of the city code; the rules were updated in 2018. Staff stated murals are exempt from the sign code so long as they do not contain an advertising message. When a mural includes business identification or an advertising message, the city will measure the advertisement area (an imaginary rectangle surrounding the ad copy) against the 20% maximum allowed on a wall face in commercial and industrial zones.

- Examples and enforcement: Williams and staff showed examples where a mural without copy is treated purely as art, whereas a mural with a business name or product could be treated as a wall sign or, if advertising a different off-site location, a billboard subject to separate regulations. Dilapidated or abandoned signs remain a zoning/code-enforcement issue; abandoned sign frames have 180 days to remove advertising, staff said.

- Industry view and interpretation: Tom Sellers of Lumineo Signs (formerly Luminous Neon) told the council the city’s sign code is generally contemporary and workable; he recommended periodic review and offered to work with staff to tighten any ambiguous language. Sellers said Hutchinson’s code appears comparable to other similar communities but suggested cities should review sign code language every five to eight years.

- Grants and façade program: Staff noted a Kansas grant opportunity exists for mural-related projects; council asked whether the city’s recently approved facade improvement program would cover murals. Staff said the façade program was written to allow money for signage or paint but did not explicitly list murals, creating a gray area.

- Public and artist input: Artist Anthony Marquez addressed the council and said murals can be both art and advertisement and can bring visitors and economic benefit; he urged the city to encourage artist–business collaboration.

Council direction and next steps

Councilmembers asked staff to provide a clear, user‑friendly primer on the city website explaining how murals vs. signage are treated, how the 20% wall calculation is made, permit requirements for signs, and contact points for applicants and artists. Several councilmembers asked for a large map and examples to be included if sign code changes or public presentations are scheduled.

Ending: No changes to the sign code were adopted at the meeting. Council asked staff to collect public input and consider code clarifications as needed.","City staff told the Hutchinson City Council that murals are typically exempt from the city’s sign code unless they contain advertising; wall signs remain regulated and may be limited to 20% of a building face in commercial/industrial districts.

Why it matters: A CID can allow a private developer to capture incremental sales taxes collected within the district to reimburse eligible development expenses; if approved later in the process the CID could provide funding for redevelopment work at the mall. The council’s action sets the formal public‑notice step in motion and secures payment from the developer to reimburse the city for legal, notice and administrative costs already incurred.

What council and staff said

- Staff briefing: Matt Williams, director of community development, said Rockstep Hutchinson LLC petitioned for a 2% CID to replace an existing 1% CID and that the city would present a development agreement and more detail at the May 6 public hearing. Staff recommended approval of the resolution to set the hearing and said the development agreement timeline contemplates tenant recruitment and potential project activity in 2027.

- Funding agreement: Angela Richard, the city’s finance director, told council the funding agreement being presented would permit the city to accept developer payment to cover legal costs and other expenses the city incurred or will incur before the public hearing and during CID processing. Staff said the developer already presented a check to cover these costs.

- Public comment and developer presentation: Mike Warren, a nonresident who said he lives outside the city limits, asked how long the original CID had been in place and how much the city currently holds in CID funds; he urged the city to ensure a clear return on investment before increasing the CID rate. Mark Gavin (developer counsel on Zoom) and Tommy Stewart (developer representative) said a full presentation of eligible projects, total project cost and the portion requested for CID reimbursement will be presented at the May 6 hearing.

Council action

Council approved a resolution to set the public hearing for May 6, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. and approved the related funding agreement allowing the developer to pay the city’s pre‑hearing costs. Staff will publish the required public‑notice materials and present the full development agreement at the May 6 meeting.

Ending: Councilmembers asked staff to include a clear primer at the hearing explaining how a CID works and to present a large map of the proposed district so residents can see the boundaries and the proposed reimbursements.","Council set a May 6 public hearing on a proposed increase of a community improvement district (CID) rate at Hutchinson Mall (from 1% to 2%) and approved a funding agreement with the mall owner to cover city costs for the CID review process and related legal expenses.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6065259,"Council approves KDHE loan increase to finance headworks and lift-station work at wastewater plant",314,1289000,1603000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3209837-0a38ba93bacbc711e54fd43ec0ac5518&start=1289&end=1603","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3209837-0a38ba93bacbc711e54fd43ec0ac5518/thumbnail_1289000.jpg","/articles/6065259/Hutchinson-City/Reno-County/Kansas/Council-approves-KDHE-loan-increase-to-finance-headworks-and-lift-station-work-at-wastewater-plant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6065259-cd507f16bea6c828af119d94606c0ee3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199494&Signature=HxozYhS3wjvO4-MopSYF8Jx-bYMiI2xwArHvZHcUYteacxCc7UG6QneSR3i8l9nO8mL-Ca0dDzWv1k8uRo3301t2pcomcqD9vAFNxXzr3EOA6hULQwGL-A8A9hJ9NpEucXi0THizR4KpHQgKPonUnyKPsnaJFovBhabaF2XUyMM-ZluYbOe-rRQ5b617RgxwkfXeefVnZwvErguUVEZlVIPUG4yV2l1zu4~KPAB1SogWKB37pl2kbuKEDpvvEoyaZfxVHpvS0I7GcFG8TToHNRW~1ysB9W~7Y0Wr-Y~RCsChlU0ZMQvwFBHyuR42sl4e-rkfTukSlh0JZht7THjNRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hutchinson City Council on April 15 approved an ordinance to amend its loan agreement with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), increasing the city's SRF loan from about $3.5 million to just over $5 million. City staff said roughly $1.5 million of the increase will fund a permanent repair at the headworks building to improve grit removal at the wastewater treatment plant.

Why it matters: The amendment supplies funds to complete long‑planned repairs at the wastewater treatment facility, addressing items identified in a 2018 limited site assessment and advancing work started in 2022. Funding approval moves the city from design and pre-construction into execution of the headworks improvements while the lift station rehabilitation work is already under contract.

Details from council discussion

- Scope and history: Matt Williams, director of community development, told council the headworks and lift-station projects have been in process since 2022, and the initial limited site assessment that flagged the headworks issue dates to February 2018. The lift-station rehabilitation project has been underway and the joint-venture construction partner started field work approximately two weeks prior to the meeting.

- Loan amount and use: The existing KDHE SRF loan was about $3.5 million. Amendment No. 1 would increase the loan to just over $5,000,000; the additional approximately $1.5 million will fund the permanent fix at the headworks building for grit removal.

- Repayment and terms: Staff said no portion of the additional loan is forgivable. The first payment will be due one year after completion; the construction schedule discussed at the meeting assumes roughly a 15‑month timeline after awarding the contract.

- Emergency-preparedness elements: Council asked about backup power and bypass valves at lift stations. Williams said HDR (consultant) will evaluate overall emergency preparedness and that a couple of the five lift stations have emergency generators included in the scope.

- Capital-improvement plan (CIP): Council members confirmed the work has been on the CIP in prior years and that the loan amendment does not appear to free up relevant CIP funds in the near term.

Council action and next steps

A motion to approve the KDHE Loan Agreement Amendment No. 1 ordinance passed by roll-call vote. Staff will proceed to finalize loan documents with KDHE and enter into the construction contract with the joint-venture construction partner for headworks improvements once KDHE approval and contract execution permit.

Ending: The amendment enables the city to proceed with both the lift-station rehabilitation (already under contract) and headworks improvements to address a long-standing operational deficiency at the wastewater treatment facility.","The City of Hutchinson approved Loan Agreement Amendment No. 1 with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, increasing the existing State Revolving Fund loan from about $3.5 million to just over $5 million to finance permanent headworks repairs and lift station rehabilitation at the wastewater treatment facility.","actionData","errors"]
