Mayor ATTEST: U► i City Secretary FINDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL OF CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, 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-.39 , which reasons were adopted by the said City Council prior to the actual passage of such resolution, are as follows: I. The City Attorney of the.'City of Southlake resigned his position with the City and a new City Attorney was not located until November 1, 1978, and the Council believes that the additional 30 days will be needed in order for the new City Attorney to adequately review the proposed rate increase to be able to properly advise the Council in the premises. II. It will be necessary and proper for the citizens of the City of Southlake, Texas to engage in additional public hearings and hear additional discussions both by the regulatory body and Utility at rate hearings, which additional rate hearing date the Council will set later in this said Council meeting. III. Based on the preliminary review of the information on hand by the said City Council and due to the fact that the City Attorney has not had a full opportunity to fully review all of the matters submitted by the Utility, the City Council is of the present opinion that there is insufficient information to pass on a rate change and it presently appears that obtaining proper information and advise from the City Attorney can be accomplished by the Council meeting of January -2 , 1979, and that the rate increase should be suspended at least until such date. The above findings made by the City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas on this the 5 day of December, 1978.
