Dear Council Members & Department Heads,
The City of Southlake needs to update its long-term Capital Improvements
Program. I am soliciting from each of you, and will shortly ask our citizens
for, suggestions as to Capital improvement needs; ie, fire protection facilities
and equipment, city building facilities, water systems improvements, etc.
Some capital improvements can be budgeted on a yearly basis and others may
require financing by a bond issue. It is my desire that we develop a thorough
plan, responsive to the needs of our people. For that reason, I ask that you
give this your priority attention. I ask that your inputs to me be structured
by city function, be time phased (indicate sequence or year needed), and be
prioritized. I ask that you provide your inputs to me no later than 30 November
so that I can plan an early December Council work session. I will be available
for discussion with anyone who has questions.
I ask that you consider the pros and cons of putting those projects approved
by Council on the ballot in April either in general referendum format or as
a bond package. I look forward to your advice and suggestions.
Thank you,
City of Southlake

Dear Mayor:
During the past several days we have received numerous comments
and questions from city officials regarding the entire gas light issue.
We sincerely hope that this letter will clarify the situation.
On November 9, 1978 President Carter signed into law the Power-
plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978. Section 402 of that act
directed the Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA) of the Department
of Energy (DOE) to prohibit by rule, by May 8, 1979, any local distri-
bution company from supplying gas for use in outdoor lighting. After
receiving public comments, DOE published its final rules on gas lights.
These rules appear on pages 27606-27611 of the May 10, 1979, issue of
the Federal Register and include provisions for customers to apply for
exemptions from the general prohibitions.
In response to many comments, including those of Lone Star, ERA
delegated the full responsibility and authority of the Secretary
of DOE with regard to natural gas outdoor lighting . to the appro-
priate State regulatory authorities . . .The Governor of each state was
asked to recommend the appropriate regulatory authority. Attached is a copy
of Governor Clements' letter of August 16, 1979, to the Department of Energy
in which he clearly identified cities in Texas as being the appropriate
regulatory authority for incorporated areas.
We have never believed that use of all gas outdoor lighting is
wasteful. To the contrary, hundreds of customers have told us their gas
lights are essential to their safety and security. Fortunately, the law
and the DOE rules provide each citizen the right to seek an exemption
under several criteria. As the designated appropriate regulatory author-
ity, your municipality now has the authority to establish exemption
procedures and to grant requests for exceptions.
In view of the rule that ERA may rescind your delegated authority
for non-compliance with "any substantial provision of Section 402 of
that Act," customers are left with the possibility of having to apply
to the ERA in Washington, D. C., unless municipalities place into ef-
fect the necessary procedures for administering the program at the
local level.

pursuant to the Texas "Public Utility Regulatory Act" (TEX. REV. CIV.

mission of Texas as the regulatory authority for the Federal Act for
all unincorporated areas within Texas. Further, pursuant to the
statutes cited above, I designate each duly incorporated municipality
within the State of Texas as the regulatory authority for the Federal
Act for its respective jurisdiction.
Sincerely,

Although the number of currently affected industrial and commer-
cial customers is quite small, we estimate that approximately 170,000
residential customers will be affected when their prohibition date of
January 1, 1982 arrives. Based upon comments already received from
our customers, we believe a large percentage will be seeking these
exemptions. Each of Lone Star's managers has been fully briefed on
this subject and can provide you with additional information. If he
or she has not already contacted you, they will, of course, be most
pleased to work with you for the benefit of our customers and your
citizens.
Very truly yours,
