(Des Moines, Iowa) -- The Des Moines City Council is reviewing the city's franchise agreement with MidAmerican Energy.

The city's current contract with the company expires next month, and the council passed a consideration Monday to extend the contract by 13 years. Some Des Moines residents at the meeting said the contract is too long, citing environmental concerns.
