Chanute approves city electric rate revision for rural customers
The State Corporation Commission approved Chanute's plan to revise rates for about 356 jurisdictional customers beyond three miles from the city, using a density additive to offset rural service costs. The change could raise annual revenue by about 291,689 dollars, with some customers facing increases after implementation within 30 days. City officials note the move follows a 1975 rate revision and may alter rates for specific customers. Lige Matlock, Chanute police chief, joins the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police standards and goals committee. Also, the City Commission meeting shifts from Monday to Wednesday June 9 due to attendance at a national APPA meeting in Los Angeles.
