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.
