0609AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE RATES OF LONE STAR GAS
COMPANY IN THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS; PROVIDING
FOR CONDITIONS AND REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
on May 11, 1994, Lone Star Gas Company ("LSGC") filed with the
City of Southlake ("CITY") a request for an increase in gas
utility rates to be charged within CITY in the amount of
$2,011,101 per annum within the Mid-Cities Distribution
System; and
CITY, having suspended the effective date of such proposed
increase for a period of time necessary and authorized by law,
including time for the continuation of a hearing in progress
pursuant to Section 5.08(d) of the Gas Utility Regulatory Act
(GURA), or alternatively, pursuant to its authority under
Section 5.07 of GUP~A, and having considered the same after
reasonable notice and public hearing, and findings as to the
unreasonableness of the current rates, is of the opinion and
finds that the rates of LSGC should be adjusted; NOW
THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTNLAKE, TEXAS:
That the rates, tariffs, and charges for LSGC for gas service sold
within CITY be revised to decrease $82,093 annually, which is a component
of the Mid-Cities Distribution System annual revenue increase of
$675,635. Such schedules of rates, as are approved in accordance
herewith, are those under which said LSGC shall be authorized to render
gas service and to collect charges from its customers for the sale of gas
service and energy within the corporate limits of CITY until such time
as said Rate Schedules may be changed, modified, amended or withdrawn,
with the approval of the City Council. This ordinance also approves the
elimination of the Rate Schedule for Public Free Schools - N and the
placement of these customers receiving said rate on the commercial rate
set forth in the schedules and tariffs filed with CITY.
II.
The rates approved hereby fix the overall revenues of LSGC at a
level which will permit LSGC a reasonable opportunity to earn a
reasonable return on both its original and adjusted value invested
capital used and useful in rendering service to the public over and above
LSGC'S reasonable and necessary operating expenses. The rates approved
hereby are just and reasonable.
III.
The rates approved hereby shall be effective with the gas bills
rendered on and after October 20, 1994, and enforced as of the date
hereof, and shall be charged and observed thereafter until revised
according to law.
IV.
That LSGC shall file with the CITY within ten (10) days hereof a
revised Schedule of Rates and Tariffs setting forth those rates, tariffs,
and charges based upon such increase in total operating revenues as
prescribed herein. The rate designed implemented by such schedules and
tariffs shall be in accordance with Schedule 3, attached hereto. Such
Schedule of Rates and Tariffs may be modified or amended by the City
Council within ten (10) days from the date of filing with CITY, otherwise
same shall be considered approved as filed.
LSGC shall reimburse CITY its costs for consultants and shall also
reimburse CITY its reasonable costs for participation in any appeal of
this rate case.
VI.
Any LSGC request for modification of existing tariffs, rates or
schedules not specifically addressed herein, is denied. However, all
adjustment clauses, except the gas cost adjustment clause and the
adjustment clause for changes in municipal franchise fees, are
specifically denied.
VII .
That the action of the City council enacting this ordinance
constitutes, on the date of its final passage, a final determination of
rates for LSGC within CITY in accordance with the Gas Utility Regulatory
Act.
VIII.
'Nothin9 contained in this ordinance shall be construed now or
hereafter as limiting or modifying, in any manner, the right and power
of CITY under the law to regulate the rates and charges of LSGC.
IX.
That all ordinances, resolutions, or parts thereof, in confllet
herewith, are repealed to the extent of such conflict.
