FINDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF SOUTELAKE,
TEXAS CONCERNING REASONS FOR FURTHER SUSPENSION
OF ANY RATE CHANGE IN RATE SCHEDULE OF TRI-
COUNTY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC.
The reasons of the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas for the
consideration of and the passing of Resolution No. 78- 13 , which reasons
were adopted by the said City Council prior to the actual passage of such
resolution, are as follows:
I. Since the last public hearing held in connection with this matter, there
has been a 40% change in the Council make-up because of the fact that two new
Council persons were elected in the recent election to replace two Council
persons who has previously heard the public hearings and reviewed the basic
volumnious information concerning the subject rate change and additional time
will be needed for such new members of the City Council to review the information
and be ready to take action thereon.
II. The said Council further believes in view of such new Council make-up,
one more public hearing during the month of May, 1978 would also give such
Council members a more adequate opportunity to receive the thoughts of the public
at large and also the utility company representatives if they desire to so attend.
III. The status of the said utility's present hearing before the Public Utility
Commission and a review of all information available in connection therewith
would be helpful to this Council in arriving at a derision as such information,
although such rate application is basically one of rural areas, still would be
of great help to the Council in its decision and additional time will be needed
to receive and study such information.
IV. Based on a review of the present information and the status of the change
in the Council, the said City Council is of the present opinion that it is not
presently sufficiently informed to properly act on a rate change and at least
30 days from April 30, 1978 would be necessary and reasonable to review such
information and take such action.
The above findings made by the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas
this __jatb~ay of April, 1978.
