Staff said all documentation with KMEA is in place to deliver 7 megawatts of additional power for Gardner City in September and that the city has the allocation on its first bill from the power provider. “KMEA, all the paperwork's been submitted for the enter or the electric rate study,” the staff member said, and indicated the city will begin an electric-rate study around Sept. 1.
