Subject: Oncor Rate Case - Settlement Documents CITY ACTION REQUIRED BY JUNE 17 ddfd

 

Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor – CITY ACTION LEGALLY REQUIRED BY JUNE 17. 

 

            Earlier today, Oncor filed on behalf of the parties in PUC Docket No. 38929 an unopposed joint motion to admit the settlement, supporting testimony and request for PUC approval.  Accordingly, I am providing you with documents your city will need in order to approve the settlement.  If you have not done so, we ask that you put this matter on your next council agenda.  Cities have until June 17 to finalize their adoption of the attached ordinance and tariffs. 

 

Attached you will find the following documents:

(1)   a cover memo,

(2)   model staff report,

(3)   model rate ordinance,

(4)   PUC 38929 final stipulation,

(5)   participating cities list,

(6)   residential increase (calculation for both 1,000 and 1,300 kWh for residential using January 1, 2012 rates) (excel file), and

(7)   copy of cities’ franchise fee payments (calculation with interest) (excel file).

                                                                       

In addition, I will be sending you an email in the morning containing links to two tariffs.  Be aware that there will be two versions (one for rates effective July 1 and one for rates effective January 1).  They are 179 pages each.  They will both need to be approved.  Because of the large size, we will be distributing them to you via a large file transfer email.  As such, you will need to click on the link that we send to you and print them.  If this presents a problem, please contact us and we will make special arrangements. 

 

Several cities that participated in the coalition do not have original jurisdiction and are not legally required to take action on this application.  Here is a list of those coalition cities that do not have original jurisdiction: Alvarado, Anna, Argyle, Boyd, Buffalo, Caddo Mills, Cameron, Canton, Centerville, Collinsville, Comanche, Corinth, Crowley, Edgecliff Village, Everman, Frost, Granger, Gunter, Hewitt, Honey Grove, Hutto, Jolly, Josephine, Justin, Kaufman, Kemp, Kerens, Krum, Malakoff, Murchison, Nacogdoches, New Chapel Hill, Northlake, Oak Leaf, Ovilla, Ranger, Rhome, Richland, Rosser, Springtown, Terrell, Venus.  If any of these cities are interested in adopting a resolution that affirms the settlement, please contact me and I will prepare a resolution for your city to use. 

 

In addition, six cities in the coalition (Coahoma, DeLeon, Early, Howe, Little River Academy, O’Donnell) retain original jurisdiction but previously denied the application.  These cities also should not adopt the ordinance but may desire to adopt a resolution affirming the settlement.  Please contact me if your city would like to affirm the settlement.

 

Finally, according to our records, several members of the Steering Committee that retain original jurisdiction did not provide us with suspension resolutions.  We are unsure what actions these cities took.  Please contact me if you have questions.  Here are the cities that we have no record of:  Bellmead, Commerce, Fate, Forest Hill, Grand Prairie, Grapevine, McKinney, Pantego, Robinson, Seagoville, Southlake, Sunnyvale, Willow  Park.

 

I realize that this is a lot of information and material.  I’m here to help.  Please contact me if you have questions or concerns.  My direct number is (512) 322-5857.  Thomas
