Subject: Atmos Mid-Tex 2012 Rate Case
Importance: High
Attached please find four documents that address the rate case
filed with Atmos Cities Steering Committee (ACSC) member cities
yesterday. The critical portion of the attached package is the two page
suspension resolution which should be adopted before March 6, 2012.
Suspension recognizes and facilitates the exercise of city jurisdiction.
Atmos Mid-Tex agrees that cities should have an opportunity to resolve the rate
request with the Company before jurisdiction attaches at the Railroad
Commission (RRC) and, therefore, supports the ACSC suspension efforts.
Denial of the request, as opposed to suspension, could trigger RRC jurisdiction
through an appellate process that would likely lead to litigation which ACSC
hopes to avoid.
Please contact me if you have questions regarding the attachments
or the ratemaking process.
