IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand on behalf of the City of Sanger Texas. Thomas Muir, Mayor, Sanger, TX [Date] I y.NPRSA ww vaihc i.gov 2012 CLICK IT OR TICKET PLANNER FACTSHEET Click It or Ticket —Saving Lives and Increasing Belt Use Strong Enforcement Saves Lives- 9 The 2012 Click li or Ticket enforcement mobilization runs from May 21 to June 3, 2012. • In an effort to save more lives on America's roadways, State and local law enforcement agencies are teaming up across the nation to crackdown on motorists who are not buckling up. • Seat belt use saves thousands of lives across America each year. In 2009 alone, seat belts saved an estimated 12,713 lives nationwide. • hi fatal crashes during 2010, 78 percent of passenger vehicle occupants who were thrown from their vehicles were killed. However, only 1 percent of crash victims who were buckled up were totally ejected from their vehicles, compared to 32 percent of those who were unbelted. • Motorists are 75 percent less likely to be killed in a rollover crash if they are buckled up. • Click It or Ticket works. High -visibility enforcement is credited with increasing the national seat belt usage rate from 58 percent in 1994 to an observed usage rate of 85 percent in 2010. More Motorists Need to Get the Message — In 2010, of the 22,187 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle crashes nationwide, 51 percent were NOT wearing seat belts at the time of their fatal crashes. • From 2006-2010, 54 percent of the 130,854 passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were unrestrained. • Younger motorists, and particular young men, are most at risk. Among teens and young adults, ages 18-34, who were killed in fatal crashes, 62 percent were NOT buckled up at „•,�v.�d,n�.K�r the time of the crash — the highest percentage of any age group. The number jumps to 66 percent when only men in this age group are included. • Pickup truck drivers and passengers are also at risk. In 2010, 65 percent of pickup truck occupants who were killed in traffic crashes were not buckled up at the time of the crashes, compared to 44 percent of passenger car occupants who were killed from not buckling up. Nighttime Enforcement a Top Priority — The Saucer Texas Police Department{tnte is joining with other State and local law enforcement officers and highway safety advocates across the country to help save more lives by strongly enforcing seat belt laws around the clock, but especially at night. • Nationally, 61 percent of the 10,647 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes overnight (6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the fatal crash, compared to 42 percent during the daytime hours. Click It or Ticket — Day and Night — Motorists should buckle up every time they go out, both day and night. Law enforcement agencies across the county are prepared to ticket anyone not buckled ill) ... no warnings and no excuses. Clicklt or Ticket. • While this year's Clicklt or Ticket enforcement mobilization runs from May 21 through June 3, motorists should know that officers are out enforcing seat belt laws year-round. The national Click It or Ticket mobilization has increased seat belt use and saved marry lives over the years, but there is still much more that can be done. High -visibility enforcement and encouraging loved ones to buckle up can turn thousands of lives lost into many more lives saved. 2010 statistics according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration For more about the 2012 mobilization, visit www.TraffieSafetyMarketine. ov. AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET :DENIAL OF APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO INCREASE TES SUBMITTED BY ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION BACKGROUND On or about January 31, 2012, Atmos Energy Corporation ("Atmos" or "Company") filed a Statement of Intent to increase rates by approximately $49.0 million, which equates to an increase of approximately 11.94% in base rates. The proposed changes would increase rates for residential and commercial customers and decrease rates for industrial and transportation customers within all incorporated areas served by Atmos' Mid -Tex Division. Atmos also proposed implementing a Rate Review Mechanism ("RRM") and, among other new tariffs, a new conservation and energy efficiency tariff ("Rider CEE") in place of the current Rider CEE. Atmos further proposed to change its billing rate basis from Mcf to Ccf, and to revise its gas cost recovery tariff ("Rider GCR"). As part of its application, Atmos proposed an effective date of March 6, 2012, and later extended its proposed effective date to March 13, 2012. The City in earlier action suspended Atmos' proposed effective date for 90 days. Based on Atmos' amended proposed effective date the City must take action by June 11, 2012. As proposed by Atmos, the fixed customer charges would increase for each customer class, while charges based on consumption would be reduced. Atmos estimates that the average monthly bill for each class of customer would be affected as follows: Residential customers would see a 13.6% increase; commercial customers would see a 6.69% increase; industrial customers would see a 14.22% decrease; and Rate T-Transportation customers would see a 14.22% decrease. Because of the proposed change in the fixed customer charge, residential customers that use less gas than the average customer would see a steeper percentage increase in their monthly bill. The City must take action on Atmos' Statement of Intent before June 11, 2012. Absent such action, Ahnos' rates are deemed approved by operation of low. ATMOS TEXAS MUNICIPALITIES The Atmos Texas Municipalities ("ATM") group was organized by a number of municipalities, served by Atmos; the City is a member of the ATM coalition of cities. The law firm of Herrera & Boyle, PLLC (through Mr. Alfred R. Herrera and Mr. Jim Boyle) has previously represented the ATM in rate cases involving Atmos. 1 of 2 RECOMMENDATION: DENIAL OF ATMOS' PROPOSED RATE INCREASE ATM's Special Counsel and the consultants engaged by ATM recommend that the City deny Atmos' proposed increase in rates. ATM's counsel and consulting experts have reviewed Atmos' application and conducted discovery and identified a number of reasons why Atmos' proposal is not appropriate: o Atmos' proposed rates are based on operation and maintenance expenses that ATM's consulting experts have determined should be reduced by over $5 million dollars; ® Atmos' proposed rates are based on taxes other than income taxes that ATM's consulting experts have concluded should be reduced by over $200,000; ® Atmos' proposed rates assume depreciation and amortization expenses that ATM's consulting experts have determined should be reduced by over $6 million dollars; ® Atmos' proposed rates are based on a rate base that ATM's consulting experts have determined should be reduced by over $190 million dollars; a Atmos' proposed rates assume a rate of return that ATM's consulting experts advise should be reduced by more than a full point; o Atmos' proposed rates are based on income taxes that ATM's consulting experts advise should be reduced by more than $13 million; ® While Atmos' proposed rates are based on an increase in Atmos' revenue requirements of more than $50 million, the above adjustments recommended by ATM's consulting experts together result in a decrease in Atmos' revenue requirement of more than $10 million dollars; and a ATM has attempted to negotiate with Atmos, but Atmos has been unwilling to adjust its proposed rates sufficiently in light of the adjustments recommended by ATM's consulting experts. ATM's Special Counsel and its consultants will continue settlement efforts to attempt to resolve Atmos' application to increase rates through negotiations. In the interim, once the City denies Atmos' request, Atmos will submit an appeal to the Railroad Commission of Texas and will do so within 30 days from the date of the City's action. ATM will continue its participation in the proceedings at the Railroad Commission of Texas. The City must take action no later than June 11, 2012. If the City does not take action by June 11, 2012, Atmos' proposed rates will be deemed approved by operation of law, subject to the City's right to continue a hearing in progress to address Atmos' rate application. 2 of 2 RESOLUTION #R05-06-12 A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY OF SANGER, TEXAS, ("CITY") DENYING A RATE INCREASE REQUESTED BY ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 31, 2012; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING COMPLIED WITH THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT; AND MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT.

No tournaments were held, but everyone seemed to have fun, including the 30-something that let us borrow his equipment. ADMINISTRATION: Helped set up for the North Texas Book Festival, held April 14 at the Center for the Visual Arts in Denton. Proceeds from the Book Festival fund grants to Denton County libraries and literacy programs. Completed surveys for OCLC and the Public Library Division of the American Library Association. Meetings attended: Ebooks in Libraries, 4/4, The Colony Cataloging Committee of the North Texas Library Consortium (Laura), 4/25, Krum PROGRAMS: Adult programs held: Growing and Using Herbs, a Knitting and Crochet workshop and the book club meeting. The only teen event was the retro gaming evening described in Highlights. The Storytime theme was "Creepy Crawlers". At "Snakes and Lizards", the kids made a snake out of beads and a pipe cleaner. The children played Stay Out of the Swamp during the "Frogs and Turtles" program, They pretended to be amphibians in a swamp and fled to safety when the alligator came. Then they made a turtle puppet from a paper bowl. Kids sang Little Peter Rabbit at the `Bugs that Fly" program. Then they made a butterfly out of tissue paper and a peg clothespin. Going on a bug hunt was the best part of the "Bugs that Crawl" program, but children also enjoyed making a beetle out of a plastic spoon and then trying to flip it over from its back onto its legs.

The attached Announcement provides information regarding the Equity Return distribution and other rate changes that are effective for 2012-13. As expected, lower rates reduce up -front contributions and slow the pace of Members' Equity growth, which will ultimately lower the amount of equity available to return to the Pool's members. The following chart shows the cumulative impact of rate changes from 2002-03 through 2012-13. The Pool's Board of Trustees voted at its April 2012 meeting to return another $9.1 million of equity from the Workers' Compensation, Liability and Property Funds. This return will be applied as a credit to the 2012-13 contributions and is allocated based on loss ratios and longevity with the Pool. Your specific return amounts by line of coverage are: Line of Coverage Equity Return Amount Workers' Compensation $2,545 Liability $5,006 Property $1,763 Total to be applied to 2012-13 $9,314 TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE INTERGOVERNMENTAL RISK POOL 1821 Rutherford Lane, First Floor • Austin, Texas 78754 • (512) 491-2300 • (800) 537-6655 Tavas Only P.O.

The Pool is able to return equity when it has favorable underwriting experience and/or better than anticipated investment results. Your effort to minimize losses is key to the Pool producing positive underwriting results. The Pool appreciates your continued participation.
