HUMBOLDT — Resigned that they had no choice in the matter, Humboldt city council members began the paperwork Monday night to request a $1.5 million loan from the state of Kansas to offset sky-high natural gas charges incurred from a bitter cold spell in February.
“We were facing bankruptcy,” said Cole Herder, city administrator.
Herder said the invoice from the Kansas Multiple Gas Agency, which secures the city’s natural gas, is due to arrive Friday, and should be for $1,509,818.
