Standby power ordinance tabled by Garden City officials
City commissioners tabled action on a standby electric rate ordinance aimed at businesses that generate most of their own power. The plan would charge large general service customers $9.40 summer and $8.40 winter per kilowatt plus a $21.50 per kilowatt standby fee for seven percent self generation. If city power was needed, the higher rate would apply to all power beyond what is normally provided. Deane Wiley and Steve Wilkinson offered opposing views on incentives versus higher charges for other customers. The motion to approve was tabled for further review with unanimous support.

Harder Wins Round on State No Smoking Policy
Robert C. Harder, secretary of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, wins the first round defending a no smoking ban in SRS offices. The elevator lobby on the sixth floor of the State Office Building remains banned, since SRS occupies that floor. The ruling by Marvin Mike Harder keeps the prohibition in all SRS spaces and its mental health institutions, with only adult patients in state mental hospitals exempt.
