SECTION 1. On January 15, 1999, Texas Utilities Electric Company (hereinafter referred
to as "TU Electric") filed with the Governing Body of this municipality a Statement of Intent and
Application to implement within the corporate limits of this municipality proposed new rate
schedules that provide additional rate options for its customers, which options are entirely
voluntary on the part of the customer, namely its proposed Rate GTU-M - General Service
Time -of -Use -Municipality, proposed Rate RTU1-M - Residential Time -of -Use Service
Municipality, and proposed Rate GTUC-M - General Service Time -of -Use Voluntary
Curtailable-Municipality (said three proposed new rate schedules hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "Time -of -Use Rate Schedules").
SECTION 2. The Time -of -Use Rate Schedules are hereby approved, and TU Electric is
authorized to render service and to collect charges as specified in the Time -of -Use Rate Schedules
from its customers electing to receive electric service under said Time -of -Use Rate Schedules
within the corporate limits of this municipality until such time as said rate schedules may be
changed, modified, amended or withdrawn with the approval of the Governing Body of this
municipality.
SECTION 3. The Time -of -Use Rate Schedules herein approved shall be effective from
and after the final passage and approval of this Ordinance.
SECTION 4. The filing of said Time -of -Use Rate Schedules shall constitute notice to the
consumers of electricity within its municipality of the availability and application of such
Time -of -Use Rate Schedules.
SECTION 5. TU Electric shall not seek any additional rate or surcharge mechanism to
recover any revenues lost on account of the application of these time -of -use rates, and there shall
be no imputed revenues on account of any reduction in TU Electric's revenues that may result
from the application of these time -of -use rates.
SECTION 6. The rate reductions approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas in
Docket No. 18490 shall be applied to the time -of -use rates approved herein, such that Rider RRD
Dmummt #: 800965
shall be applicable to Rate RTUI-M, Rider GSRD shall be applied to all customers taking secondary
service under either Rate GTU-M designated as GTU-M-SEC or under Rate GTUC-M designated as
GTUC-M-SEC, and Rider RD shall be applied to all other customers on Rate GTU-M or Rate GTUC-M.
SECTION 7. In its next general base rate case in which the time -of -ice rates herein approved
are at issue, TU Electric will either (a) include all customers taking service under Rate GTUC or
GTUC-M during the test year involved in such base rate cases as a separate rate class in its cost
allocation study, or (b) include in its cost allocation study the load and revenue data applicable to each
GTUC or GTUC-M customer taking service under Rate GTUC or GTUC-M during the test year
involved in such base rate case with the load and revenue data of the rate class applicable to such
GTUC or GTUC-M customer immediately prior to such customer's taking service under Rate GTUC
or GTUC-M. In the event, however, that industry restructuring is mandated by legislative changes
prior to the time that TU Electric has another general base rate case and such legislation authorizes the
recovery by TU Electric of any stranded costs from its various customer classes in accordance with its
last approved cost of service study, the customers then receiving service under the time -of -ice rates
will be included in the customer classes reflected in TU Electric's most recent cost of service study as
follows:
A. Customers on Rate RTU I -M shall be included in Rate Class RTU;
B. Customers on Rate GTU-M shall be included in Rate Class HV, GP, or GS,
depending upon the voltage level of the service, such that customers on Rate
GTU-M receiving service at high voltages shall be included in Rate Class HV,
customers receiving service at primary distribution voltages shall be included in
Rate Class GP, and customers receiving service at secondary distribution voltages
shall be included in Rate Class GS; and
C. Customers on Rate GTUC-M shall be included in Rate Class N1 (Noticed
Interruptible) depending upon the voltage level of the service, such that customers
on Rate GTUC-M receiving service at high voltages shall be included in Rate
Class NI (High Voltage), customers on Rate GTUC-M receiving service at
primary distribution voltages shall be included in Rate NI (Primary), and
Customers on Rate GTUC-M receiving service at secondary distribution voltages
shall be included in Rate NI (Secondary).
SECTION 8. Nothing in this Ordinance contained shall be construed now or hereafter as
limiting or modifying in any manner the right and power of the Governing Body of this municipality
under the law to regulate the rates, operations, and services of TU Electric.
SECTION 9. It is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at which this
Ordinance is passed is open to the public and as required by law and that public notice of the time,
place, and purpose of said meeting was given as required.
PASSED AND APPROVED at a Regular Meeting of the City Council of the
