Managing director/electric operations Gerry Bieker and general manager Paul Mahlberg of Kansas Municipal Energy Agency (KMEA) visited with city council members from Chetopa and Altamont Saturday in Chetopa, proposing the cities contract with KMEA for full-time electrical line maintenance in their communities. Both cities still own their own public power utilities and are among the 82 members of KMEA, benefiting from the Joint Action Agency’s energy purchasing power from the market.
