Consider and act upon Ordinance No. 2015-21 of the City Council of the City of Wylie, Texas, approving a NEGOTIATED settlement between the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC”) and ATMOS ENERGY CORP., Mid-Tex Division regarding the company’s 2014 and 2015 rate review mechanism filings; approving a settlement agreement with attached rate tariffs and proof of revenues; declaring Existing rates to be unreasonable; adopting tariffs that reflect rate adjustments consistent with the Negotiated Settlement; finding the rates to be set by the Settlement Tariffs to be just and reasonable and in the public interest; Requiring the Company to reimburse ACSC’s reasonable ratemaking expenses; determining that this ordinance was passed in accordance with the requirements of the Texas Open Meetings Act; adopting a saving clause; declaring an effective date; and requiring delivery of this Ordinance to the company and the ACSC’s legal counsel. (M. Manson, City Manager) Executive Summary The City, along with other similarly situated cities served by Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos Mid- Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC”). The RRM Tariff was adopted by the City as an alternative to the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (“GRIP”), the statutory provision that allows Atmos to bypass the City’s rate regulatory authority to increase its rates annually to recover capital investments. In February 2014, Atmos Mid-Tex filed its second annual filing under the Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”) Tariff, seeking an increase of $45.7 million. Although ACSC attempted to reach a settlement with the Company as it had in past years, the wide differences between the Company and ACSC’s consultants’ recommendations made a compromise impossible. On the recommendation of the ACSC Executive Committee and ACSC’s legal counsel, the City in 2014 adopted a Resolution denying the requested rate increase.
Consider and act upon Ordinance 2015-20 designating truck routes to regulate the activities of commercial vehicles in the City of Wylie (C. Holsted, City Engineer) Executive Summary The ordinance regulating truck routes within the Wylie city limits was last updated in 1982. The Texas Department of Transportation released ownership of Ballard Avenue from Brown Street to SH 78 to the city. This portion of roadway was previously designated a truck route, however, due to increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the downtown area, staff recommends that this section of roadway be removed.
