11. Other matters:
(a.) Mayor Cole stated that Benny Bridges
had called regarding his absence.
(b.) Mr. Dan Swenke with Brazos spoke to
Council regarding a requested increase
for Sanger Electric due to an increase
in wholesale power.
-° Swenke began by saying no rate increase
had been figured in the Sanger Electric
Budget. However, Brazos had gotten an
increase in their wholesale power cost.
it is necessary that the increase be
passed on to the consumer in the very
near future. Swenke stated the increase
in rates would need to be passed before
the 25th of January which would necessitate
a special meeting of the council. He
further stated that this was a sizeable
increase. Brazos recommended that the
No. 1 Clause (Purchased Power Adjustment
Clause) be modified from $4.75 to $6.75.
This is a demand adjustment and would
only be applied to the large commercial
bills. The minimum bill for the large
consumer would go from $49.88 to $75.00
for the first 25 KW demand or less. Part
of the increase would be picked up
through this adjustment. The balance
would be picked in Clause No. 2 which is
applicable to residential and other users
excluding the large commercial. Swenke
stated that the adjustment in Clause 1
and 2 would allow Brazos to pick up the
wholesale power increase.
The Fuel Cost Adjustment portion of the
schedule was questioned by Mayor Cole.
He stated that it did not refer to Fuel
Cost Adjustment but stated actual revenue.
Swenke stated Brazos would modify the
wording. The wording in Clause No. 1
(Correction Factor) would be modified to
read PCAD revenue instead of actual
revenue and the wording in Clause No. 2
(Correction Factor) would read PCAE
revenue instead of actual revenue.
boo
Swenke stated the whole object is to
take the increase and proportion it
through the retail rates. Swenke
stated that with the new San Miguel lignite
plant, the fuel charge is due to come
down.
A residential rate comparison was given.
A 12 month average increase on a resi-
dential bill would be approximately
21.53%. This figure could go up or
down depending on the fuel cost.
Mayor .Cole called a special meeting for
Friday, January 22nd at 6:00 P. M. to
consider the rate increase.
Meeting adjourned.
