AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DENIAL OF ATMOS ENERGY CORPORATION, MID-TEX DIVISION'S
(ATMOS) REQUEST TO INCREASE ITS REVENUE AND CHANGE ITS
RATES UNDER THE RATE REVIEW MECHANISM
ATMOS TEXAS MUNICIPALITIES
The City is a member of the Atmos Texas Municipalities (ATM). The ATM group was
organized by a number of municipalities served by Atmos and has been represented by
the law firm of Herrera & Boyle, PLLC (through Mr. Alfred R. Herrera). ATM also
retained the services of a consulting firm, Utilitech, Inc. (Mr. Mike Brosch and Mr. Steve
Carver) to assist in reviewing an application submitted by the Atmos Energy -Mid -Tex
Division (Atmos) that seeks to increase its rates and change its rates. Both Herrera &
Boyle, PLLC and Utilitech, Inc. have participated in prior rate cases involving Atmos and
have extensive knowledge and experience in rate matters affecting Atmos' rates,
operations, and services.
HISTORY OF PRIOR RATE INCREASES
General Rate Case (Approved December 2012)
In January 2012, Atmos sought an increase of about $49.1 million. Ultimately, the ATM
cities and Atmos were not able to reach agreement on an increase and Atmos filed an
appeal to the Railroad Commission of Texas. The Railroad Commission approved an
increase of about $24.1 million, representing an increase in revenue of about 7%
Prior brcrease Unrler t/re RRM (July 20131
In the summer of 2013, Atmos and ATM entered into an agreement that approved a
revised Rate Review Mechanism (RRM). The RRM approved in the Summer of 2013 is
the third iteration of that rate -setting mechanism.
Less than a year ago, on or around July 15, 2013, Atmos submitted a request to increase
rates under the RRM. Ahnos requested an increase in rates on a system -wide basis of
$22.7 million, which is an increase of about 5%. Following a series of settlement
negotiations between Atmos' experts and ATM's experts, Atmos agreed to an increase of
$16.6 million, an increase in revenue of about 3.7%.
RATE REVIEW MECHANISM
On February 28, 2013, Atmos initiated a ratemalcing proceeding with cities in the
coalition known as the Atmos Texas Municipalities (ATM) by submitting an application
to increase its revenue by about $45.6 million and to change its rates to collect that
increase in revenue. An increase of $45.6 million represents an increase of about 9.2% in
annual base -rate revenue. The increase for an average customer is as follows:
Residential Customer:
$2.02/month
(9.96%) in
base rates.
Connnercial Customer:
$2.16/month
(10.16%) in base rates.
ndustr•ial/Transportation Customer:
$53.65/month
(10.29 %)
in base rates.
ATM retained the law firm of Herrera &Boyle, PLLC (H&B) as Special Counsel and the
consulting firm of Utilitech, Inc. (Utilitech) to review Atmos' filing. After an extensive
review of Atmos' request to increase its revenue and change its rates, on about April 10,
2014, ATM's Special Counsel and consultants concluded Atmos merited an increase of
no more than about $26.6 million. Special Counsel's and the consultants' assessment
was preliminary and excluded additional downward adjustments to Atmos' request that
are not included in the $26.6 million amount because of the amount of time to review
Atmos' request and because of then -outstanding responses to requests for information
submitted to Atmos by ATM's Special Counsel.
The basis for ATM's consultants' preliminary assessment that Atmos warranted at most
an increase of $26.6 million is based on numerous exclusions of costs or rejection of
accounting practices for which Atmos failed to carry its burden of proof that such costs or
practices were reasonable and consistent with sound ratemalcing and regulatory
principles. Examples of these items included Atmos' request with regard to:
• An increase in Uncollectible Revenue related to implementation of a new billing
system and unexplained cost overruns associated with implementation of Lite new
billing system
• An increase in promotional advertising expenses unrelated to the conservation of
energy and more related to promoting Atmos' corporate image
• Atmos' Incentive Compensation program for its executives and upper
management
• Inclusion in its capital accounts of items the Railroad Commission had in prior
orders excluded from Atmos' cost of service
• Atmos' use of projected costs related to medical and dental benefits
• Atmos' deferred accounting treatment of certain pension benefits
• The amount of Cash Working Capital Atmos proposed to recover from customers
• Atmos' treatment of certain federal income tax expenses including its ratemaking
treatment of accumulated deferred income tax (ADIT) reserves
• Atmos' calculation of accounting balances related to certain regulatory assets
allowed under the Railroad Commission's rules
This is not intended to be nor
is it an exhaustive
list of the issues identified by
ATM's
rate experts. It is provided to
show some of the
areas in Atmos' application to
change
rates in which ATM's Special
Counsel and rate
experts found deficiencies in
Atmos'
request.
ATM's Special Counsel and consultants engaged in good -faith negotiations with Atmos
to attempt to reach a settlement of Atmos' proposed increase, but those negotiations
failed to produce an agreement.
At this juncttn•e, the ATM cities' options are as follows:
Option 1. To deny Ahnos' requested increase and approve no increase;
Option 2. To deny Atmos' requested increase and approve an increase of no
more than $26.6 million, based on ATM's consultants' preliminary
report; or
Option 3. To take no action and allow Atmos' proposed increase of $45.6
million and its related rates to go into effect.
Note that under Option 1 and Option 2, Atmos has the right to appeal the ATM cities'
decisions to the Railroad Commission of Texas and pending such an appeal has the right
to implement its proposed increase of $45.6 million effective June 1, 2014, subject to
refund if the Commission's review later finds a lower amount is appropriate. Atmos has
notified ATM's Special Counsel of Atmos' intent to file an appeal of the City's decision
to deny its requested increase.
RECOMMENDATION:
ATM's experts' preliminary report suggests Atmos does not warrant an increase of $45.6
million. Given that the ATM cities and Atmos were not able to reach agreement on an
amount by which to increase Atmos' annual revenue and that ATM's Special Counsel
and rate experts believe a much lower increase is in order, and in light of the significant
increases Atmos has obtained in the recent past, ATM's Special Counsel recommends
that the City deny Atmos' proposed increase in revenue and changes in rates.
Atmos will appeal the City's decision denying its requested increase and changes in rates
to the Railroad Commission. ATM's Special Counsel recommends that the City
participate in Atmos' appeal to the Railroad Commission and in any appeals to the courts
of the Railroad Commission's decision.
The attached Resolution also directs Atmos to reimburse ATM's rate -case expenses
incurred to date and to reimburse on a monthly basis, ATM's rate -case expenses for any
and all related appeals.
The City should take action as soon as possible but no later than May 31, 2014.

(1) SAHS commences to cure the failure within the 10 day period following Owner's initial written
notice, and (2) SAHS diligently pursues a course of action that will cure the failure and bring SAHS
back into compliance with this Agreement. However, if SAHS's failure to comply creates a
hazardous condition, the failure must be cured immediately upon notice to SAHS. In addition, if
Owner provides SAHS with notice of SAHS's failure to comply with the same specific term,
provision or covenant of this Agreement on more than two (2) occasions during any 12-month
period, SAHS's subsequent violation of the same term, provision or covenant shall, at Owner's
option, be deemed an incurable event of default by SAHS.
B. SAHS or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, files a petition for protection under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (or similar Law) or a petition is filed against SAHS or any Guarantor under such
Laws and is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days after the date of such filing, makes a transfer
in fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its
inability to pay its debts when due.
C. SAHS's leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law.
12. Remedies.
A. Owner's Remedies. Upon any default, Owner shall have the right without notice or
demand to pursue any of its rights and remedies at Law or in equity, including any one or more of
the following remedies:
(1) Terminate this Agreement, in which case SAHS shall immediately surrender the
Premises to Owner. If SAHS fails to surrender the Premises, Owner may, in
compliance with applicable Law and without prejudice to any other right or remedy,
enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel and remove SAHS,
SAHS's Property and any parties occupying all or any part of the Premises.
13. No Waiver. Neither party's failure to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence or
delay in taking action for a default shall constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an
estoppel. Neither party's failure to enforce its rights for a default shall constitute a waiver of that
party's rights regarding any subsequent default.
14, SAHS's Right to Possession. Provided SAHS fully performs all of its other covenants and
agreements under this Agreement, SAHS shall have the right to occupy the Premises without
hindrance from Owner or any person lawfully claiming through Owner, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, all Mortgages, insurance requirements and applicable Law. This covenant and all other
covenants of Owner shall be binding upon Owner and its successors only during its or their
respective periods of ownership of the Building, and shall not be a personal covenant of any Owner
Parties.
15. Attorneys' Fees. If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or to enforce
any covenant or condition of this Agreement, or if either party intervenes in any suit in which the
other is a party to enforce or protect its interest or rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all
of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
16. Notice. If a demand, request, approval, consent or notice (collectively, a "notice") shall or may
be given to either party by the other, the notice shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by
registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, or sent by overnight or same day courier
service, or sent by facsimile, at the party's respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Article 1,
except that if SANS has vacated the Premises (or if the Notice Address for SAHS is other than the
Premises, and SAHS has vacated such address) without providing Owner a new Notice Address,
Owner may serve notice in any manner described in this Article or in any other manner permitted
by Law. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received or given on the earlier to occur of
actual delivery (which, in the case of delivery by facsimile, shall be deemed to occur at the time of
delivery indicated on the electronic confirmation of the facsimile) or the date on which delivery is
first refused, or, if SAHS has vacated the Premises or the other Notice Address of SAHS without
providing a new Notice Address, three (3) days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a
courier service in the manner described above. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice
Address by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner described in this
Article.
17. Reserved Riehts. This Agreement does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the
Building. Owner excepts and reserves exclusively to itself the Agreement of: (A) roofs, (B)
telephone, electrical and janitorial closets, (C) equipment rooms, Building risers or similar areas
that are used by Owner for the provision of Building services, (D) rights to the land and
improvements below the floor of the Premises, (E) the improvements and air rights above the
Premises, (F) the improvements and air rights outside the demising walls of the Premises, (G) the
areas within the Premises used for the installation of utility lines and other installations serving
occupants of the Building, and (H) any other areas designated from time to time by Owner as
service areas of the Building. Owner has the right to change the Building's name or address.
Owner also has the right to make such other changes to the Property and Building as Owner deems
appropriate, provided the changes do not materially affect SAHS's ability to use the Premises for
the Permitted use. Owner shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to temporarily close the
Building if Owner reasonably determines that there is an imminent danger of significant damage to
the Building or of personal injury to Owner's employees or the occupants of the Building. The
circumstances under which Owner may temporarily close the Building shall include, without
limitation, electrical interruptions, weather emergencies and civil disturbances. A closure of the
Building under such circumstances shall not constitute a constructive eviction nor entitle SAHS to
an abatement or reduction of Rent.
18. Surrender of Premises. All improvements to the Premises shall be owned by Owner and shall
remain upon the Premises without compensation to SANS. At the expiration or earlier termination
of this Agreement or SAHS's right of possession, SAHS shall remove SAHS's Removable Property
(defined below) from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Owner, broom clean, and
in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. As used herein, the term
"SAHS's Removable Properly" shall mean: (A) Cable installed by or for the benefit of SAHS and
located in the Premises or other portions of the Building; (B) any Improvements that are performed
by or for the benefit of SAHS and, in Owner's reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would
require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs
associated with standard improvements ("Special Installations"); and (C) SAHS's personal
property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may, in Owner's sole discretion and at no cost to
Owner, require SAHS to leave any of its Special Installations in the Premises. If SAHS fails to
remove any of SAHS's Removable Property (other than Special Installations which Owner has
designated to remain in the Premises) within two (2) days after the tennination of this Agreement or
of SAHS's right to possession, Owner, at SAHS's sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not
obligated) to remove and store SAHS's Removable Property. Owner shall not be responsible for
the value, preservation or safekeeping of SAHS's Removable Property. SAHS shall pay Owner,
upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred for SAHS's Removable Property. If
SAHS fails to remove SAHS's Removable Property from the Premises or storage, as the case may
be, within thirty (30) days after written notice, Owner may deem all or any part of SAHS's
Removable Property to be abandoned, and title to SAHS's Removable Property (except with respect
to any Hazardous Material shall be deemed to be immediately vested in Owner. Except for Special
Installations designated by Owner to remain in the Premises, SAHS's Removable Property shall be
removed by SAHS before the Expiration Date; provided that upon Owner's prior written consent
(which must be requested by SAHS at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Expiration Date and
which shall not be unreasonably withheld), SAHS may remain in the Premises for up to five (5)
days after the Expiration Date for the sole purpose of removing SAHS's Removable Property.
SAHS's possession of the Premises for such purpose shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the Expiration
Date, SAHS's Removable Property (except for Special Installations designated by Owner to remain
in the Premises) shall be removed by SAHS on or before such earlier date of termination. SAHS
shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of SAHS's Removable Property.
19. Hazardous Materials. No Hazardous Material (defined below) (except for de nsinimis
quantities of housed cleaning products and office supplies used in the ordinary course of SAHS's
business at the Premises and that are used, kept and disposed of in compliance with Laws) shall be
brought upon, used, kept or disposed of in or about the Premises or the Property by any SAHS
Parties or any of SAHS's transferees, contractors or licensees without Owner's prior written
consent, which consent may be withheld in Owner's sole and absolute discretion.
20. Miscellaneous.
A. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Severability; Paragraph Headings. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE
INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE IN WHICH THE BUILDING IS LOCATED, ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT ARE PERFORMABLE IN THE COUNTY OR OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE
THE BUILDING IS LOCATED, WHICH SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ALL
LEGAL ACTIONS. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected, and each provision of this
Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The headings and
titles to the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall have no
effect on the interpretation of any part of this Agreement. The word "including" shall not be
construed restrictively to limit or exclude other items not listed.
B. Recording. SAHS shall not record this Agreement or any memorandum without
Owner's prior written consent.
C. Force Maieure. Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of an action by
Owner or SAHS, the period of time for the performance of such action shall be extended by the
number of days that the performance is actually delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of
labor or materials, war, civil disturbances and other caused beyond the reasonable control of the
performing party ("Force Majeure"). However, events of Force Majeure shall not extend any
period of time for the payment of Rent or other sums payable by either party or any period of time
for the written exercise of an option or right by either party.
D. Transferability; Reuse of Owner. Owner shall have the right to transfer and assign, in
whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in the Building and/or
Property, and upon such transfer Owner shall be released from any further obligations hereunder,
and SAHS agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Owner for the performance of such
obligations.
E. Authority; Joint and Several Liability. Owner covenants, warrants and represents
that: (1) each individual executing, attesting and/or delivering this Agreement on behalf of Owner
is authorized to do so on behalf of Owner; (2) this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable
against Owner; and (3) Owner is duly organized and legally existing in the state of its organization
and is qualified to do business in the state in which the Premises are located. Similarly, SAHS
covenants, warrants and represents that: (a) each individual executing, attesting and/or delivering
this Agreement on behalf of SAHS is authorized to do so on behalf of SAHS; (b) this Agreement is
binding upon and enforceable against SANS; and (c) SAHS is duly organized and legally existing in
the state of its organization and is qualified to do business in the state in which the Premises are
located. If there is more than one SAHS, or if SAHS is comprised of more than one party or entity,
the obligations imposed upon SAHS shall be joint and several obligations of all the parties and
entities. Notices, payments and agreements given or made by, with or to any one person or entity
shall be deemed to have been given or made by, with and to all of them.
F. Time is of the Essence; Relationship; Successors and Assigns. Time is of the essence
with respect to SAHS's performance of its obligations and the exercise of any expansion, renewal
or extension rights or other options granted to SAHS. This Agreement shall create only the
relationship of Owner and occupant between the parties, and not a partnership, joint venture or any
other relationship. This Agreement and the covenants and conditions in this Agreement shall inure
only to the benefit of and be binding only upon Owner and SAHS and their permitted successors
and assigns.
G. Survival of Obligations. The expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time or
otherwise, shall not relieve either party of any obligations which accrued prior to or which may
continue to accrue after the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
H. Binding Effect. Owner has delivered a copy of this Agreement to SAHS for SAHS's
review only, and the delivery of it does not constitute an offer to SAHS or an option. This
Agreement shall not be effective against any party hereto until an original copy of this Agreement
has been signed by such party and delivered to the other party.
I. Full Agreement; Amendments, This Agreement contains the parties' entire agreement
regarding the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all understandings, discussions,
and agreements previously made between the parties, written or oral, and neither party is relying
upon any warranty, statement or representation not contained in this Agreement. This Agreement
may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Owner and SAHS. The exhibits and riders
attached hereto are incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes.
Owner and SAHS have executed this Agreement to be effective as of the Effective Date.

Re: CDBG Grant Award and Funding
We received six bids on the Jones -Willow Sewer Line Project ranging from $691,668 to
$429,540 (see attached bid tab). The Lowest Bidder has requested to withdraw his bid
because he cannot complete the work in a timely manner. Staff recommends awarding the
contract for construction to the next lowest bidder, Wildstone Construction.
The original grant was for $275,000 in CDBG funds and $41,250 in matching funds from the
City. The $41,250 was originally intended to be in kind" engineering services. Because we
no longer have an engineer on staff, we have had to contract for engineering services in the
amount of $56,700. We also did some additional testing for rock for $2500 to avoid an
expensive change order later.
Total expected cost to date is $499,750. Less the $275,000 grant leaves us with a cost of
$224,750. Staff recommends expending funds from the waste water capital improvement
fund to cover this expense. There is currently $373,970 in the WWCIP fund, leaving a
balance of $149,220.
