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. ATTEST: MINUTES: PRESENT: VACANCY:.
