Yeah, I do as well, so I think there's going to be a lot of conversation about it, so I'm okay with that too.
What's the cost when we have to go back in and re-sand it and all that?
And is that from a poor installation? Is that what the product?
And I'm assuming they were installed about the same time? The exact same time.
My only hesitation is the expansion. I just wonder how many actual other events we're going to have. For basically a couple tournaments, that's a big chunk of change.
What's the warranty on this new floor? Um...
Because you look at our previous floor and go, okay, there's not a substantial warranty. It wouldn't do the same thing.
Okay. Council, any other questions? I don't know.
That's... If you did any of that stamp concrete, I know you're talking four years timeline, basically. It's probably going to last about the same length of time. But if you have repairs or stuff, the only thing that concerns me with that is you go back in there and some of that color gets off by time. So then you're ripping it. So you're ripping sewer line or whatever up. Then you go, okay, that doesn't look good now. And
Yeah, you have two minutes. Yes. At the bathroom break, you can .
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
While you're up here, how's your mowing of the ditches coming? I know that some of the areas have been taken care of. I don't know where you're at in the process.
And I did have, I can't remember exactly, it's somewhere like 7th or 8th or 9th, somewhere on Jefferson. I had heard that there was some pretty good flooding down there, and they had sent in requests before, and nothing had been, and I don't know, maybe you know exactly where that's at.
Well, and that was my comment, too, I made, that I saw your trucks everywhere, and they were all out working on drain stuff. So, I mean, we were trying to do as much as we could.
I think I asked everybody if they'd responded to him. Have you not? Okay. Most of us had.
Nope. And the next item is the future agenda items, which I think we talked about some of those. It should be coming online soon. Is there anything else that council would like to see added as a future agenda item? No? Okay. No executive sessions, so if that's it, I just need a motion to adjourn.
Good afternoon. I would like to call to order the Hutchinson City Council budget study session September 10th, 2026. And before, I guess I need, I just need to basically start out with reading a statement. Before we get started, the City Council is aware that a number of union contracts remain outstanding, and we recognize both the importance and the time-sensitive nature of these issues. Our union employees deserve clarity and resolutions, and we do not take the delay lightly. I want to assure our workforce and the community that these contracts will receive the focused attention they…
And then before we get started on the actual budget study session, we as council need to make a motion to recess into executive session pursuant to the personal matters of non-elected personnel, exception KSA 75-4319, and in order to discuss matters The open meeting to resume in the City Council Chambers at 1 16 p.m. Second Before you vote, can you matters of what? Oh, sorry Just guess a personal matter non elected officials. That's the matter. We're gonna discuss So I just need a second second Yes
Okay, so we can get back to the budget discussion. I think Angela was the first one to come up, and I do know that we have to, with outside obligations for council and some of the staff, a hard stop at four. So just so everyone's aware.
So what does that take the airport's budget back to?
Because I think they were, what, 700, was that right, 700 and some thousand without that?
And that was a position you already had currently? It's currently in the budget, yes. Yeah, and so basically we're just going back to add that position back in.
By losing that, how long have you been without that position?
So right now, 24 foot mowers, like 34,000 is that that's the one, right? I'm sorry. What was that? The, the, the 20 foot mowers, like 34,000. That's the ones you're talking about in the Murph.
Correct. Yeah. Yeah. It's, we use the tractor for the big stuff. So you're probably talking 15 to 20,000, maybe 25 tops. Yeah. Okay.
