RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH THE RATES TO BE
CHARGED THE CITY OF HOLLIDAY, TEXAS, FOR
TRANSMITTED TREATED WATER
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls and the City of Holliday,
entered into a Water Purchase Contract on December 1, 1968, and such
contract contains provisions for modification of the rate structure at
the end of every five year period;
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls in 1981, determined through
a rate study that the proper rate to be charged Holliday under the contract
is $0.4683 per 100 cubic feet, effective October 1, 1981;
WHEREAS, Holliday would not agree to the October 1981 rate increase,
contending that rate increases must occur only on the fifth anniversary dates
of the contract rather than after a minimum period of five years as contended
by the City of Wichita Falls;
WHEREAS, the contending interpretations will be decided in the courts
with a scheduled trial date of November 23, 1983;
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls desires to implement a new rate
on December 1, 1983, should the interpretation of Holliday prevail in the courts;
and,
WHEREAS, the firm of Joe M. Nall and Associates has completed a rate
study to determine the rates necessary to recover the Holliday portion of our
cost of service from 1983 through 1988.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
The proposed rate of $0.5807 per 100 cubic feet for provision of
treated transmitted water to Holliday, Texas is approved.
The new rate is to become effective on December 1, 1983. If
the courts decide the October 1, 1981, rate increase is valid, the December 1,
1983, rate increase will not be implemented. If the courts do not allow the
October 1, 1981, rate increase, then the December 1, 1983, rate increase will
be implemented.
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS THE 15TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1983.
