City Council Votes to Keep Electric Utility

On Monday, August 18, 2008, the City Council in a 5-0 decision, unanimously agreed to keep the City’s electric system that has been operated locally for almost a century.  This decision came after a year long project to determine the differences in cost and service between Gardner and private utilities like KCPL and Westar, who both provided proposals to take over the system.

In addition, the Council agreed in concept to establishing an independent Board of Public Utilities. Work to determine the responsibilities for this new board will begin on August 25th, at the Council Work Session.
