ELECTRIC COMPANY; PROVIDING FOR CONDITIONS AND
REPEAL OF CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY; AND FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE
MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN
TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
WHEREAS, on January 22, 1993, Texas Utilities Electric
Company (TUEC or Company) filed with the City of Wichita Falls
a request for an increase in electric utility rates to be
charged within the city in the amount of $760,253,740 per
annum on a systemwide basis; and,
WHEREAS, the City, having suspended the effective date of
such proposed increase until May 27, 1993, and having
considered the same after reasonable notice and public
hearing, is of the opinion and finds that the rates of TUEC
should be adjusted.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. That the rates, tariffs, and charges of TUEC
for electric power and energy sold within the City be revised
to increase annual revenues by $180, 000, 000 on a Texas retail
basis. Such Schedules of Rates, as are approved in accordance
herewith, are those under which said Company shall be
authorized to render electric service and to collect charges
from its customers for the sale of electric power and energy
within the corporate limits of the City until such time as
said Rate Schedules may be changed, modified, amended, or
withdrawn, with the approval of the City Council.
SECTION 2 . That the rates approved hereby fix the
overall revenues of the Company at a level which will permit
TUEC a reasonable opportunity to earn a reasonable return on
its invested capital used and useful in rendering service to
the public over and above the Company's reasonable and
necessary operating expenses. The rates approved hereby are
just and reasonable.
SECTION 3 . That the rates approved hereby shall be
effective and in force as of the date hereof for consumption
as of the date hereof and shall be charged and observed
thereafter until revised according to law. Billings for
periods of consumption which include consumption both under
the Company's existing rate and the rate established hereby
shall be prorated, based on the days within each such period,
as though daily consumption was equal on each day throughout
both such periods.
SECTION 4. That TUEC shall file with the City within ten
(10) days hereof a revised Schedule of Rates and Tariffs
setting forth those rates, tariffs, and charges based upon
such increase in total operating revenues as prescribed
herein. The rate design implemented by such schedules and
tariffs shall be in accord with the existing rate design and
shall reflect an equal total revenue percentage increase
across all customer classifications. Such Schedule of Rates
and Tariffs may be modified or amended by the City Council
within ten (10) days from the date of filing with the City,
otherwise the same shall be considered approved as filed.
SECTION 5. Notwithstanding any other provision herein
contained, the rates of TUEC within the City of Wichita Falls
shall not, in any case, exceed the rates of customers of TUEC
in unincorporated areas whether such rates for unincorporated
areas are set prior to or after the adoption of this ordinance
and it shall be unlawful for TUEC, its agents, servants or
employees to collect or attempt to collect higher rates within
the City of Wichita Falls than are collected by TUEC within
unincorporated areas.
SECTION 6. That the action of the City Council of the
City of Wichita Falls enacting this ordinance constitutes, on
the date of its final passage, a final determination of rates
for TUEC within the City of Wichita Falls, in accordance with
§43 (e) of the Public Utility Regulatory Act.
SECTION 7. Nothing in this ordinance contained shall be
construed now or hereafter as limiting or modifying, in any
manner, the right and power of the City under the law to
regulate the rates and charges of TUEC.
SECTION 8. That all ordinances, resolutions, or parts
thereof, in conflict herewith are repealed to the extent of
such conflict.
SECTION 9. The fact that the current pending rate
request by TUEC will go into effect as filed on May 27, 1993,
unless this ordinance takes effect immediately upon passage
creates an urgent public necessity, requiring that the charter
provision delaying the passage of any ordinance for thirty
(30) days be hereby suspended.
SECTION 10. It is hereby officially found and determined
that the meeting at which this ordinance was passed was open
to the public as required by law.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 18th day of May, 1993 .
