SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Mid American Energy proposes to extend its electric lines

FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:$13,013.12. This amount has
been reduced based on the revenue stream from Grant Park by $486.39. It is
anticipated that Westown Meadows Park will use approximately the same
amount of power as Grant Park. The original estimates for Grant Park were
higher than what is being used, so staff is recommending the excess revenue
be applied to the installation of the electric in Westown Meadows Park.
