RESOLUTION Y THE BE IT RESOLVED B BOARD OF ALDERYLIN OF THE CITY" OF I.",--ICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, 1938, HAVING DULY CONSIDERED THE REPORT IN REGULAR LING THIS THE 21TI-1 DAY OF AUGUST OF THE COWITIM THAT the Board of Aldermen of Wichita Falls , in regular meeting this the 29th day of August, 1938, duly considered the report of the Committee, heretofore that - pointed to conduct public hearings On the petition of a number of citizens asking th an election be called for the purpose of constructing a competing municipally owned n Y�Tichita Falls, Texas, and, after due consideration, the Council con- electric light plant i recommends that no election be hereby approves said report in so far as the same rec sidered for said purpose, for the following reasons, to-wit: (1) This grant and loan has heretofore been submitted to the people of I''Achita Falls and, by a vote on two different occasions, has been rejected, first on December 11, 1935, and again on January 11, 1936. (2) Since January 1, 1936, the local utility has made a substantial re- duction in reates, as follows: (a) January 1, 1936, residential and commercial light rates, and combined light and power rates were reduced, aggregating an annual reduction of 41,500.00. (b) February 1, 1937, large power rates were reduced, aggregating an annual reduction of $5,800.00. (c) may 1, 1937, light and power rates were reduced, aggregating an annual reduction of �1,394.00. (d) July 1, 1937, the power rates were reduced, aggregating an annual reduction of 3,050.00. (e) Tune 1, 1938, residential and commercial, small and large power rates were reduced, aggregating an annual reduction of y65,900.00. (3) The total annual reduction since January 1, 1936, by the local utility amounts to more than $100,000.00; therefore, the rates structure is much more favorable now than it was when the voters refused to build a competing light plant, and there is less reason now for calling an election than there was then. (4) The acceptance of this grant and loan would likely interfere with the grant and loan for improvements to our water system, which is owned by the City, and other worthwhile improvements. (5) This grant and loan is conditioned upon a bona fide proposition from the City Council to the existing light plant to purchase the existing light plant. In order to make a bona fide offer to purchase the existing light plant, a con- siderable expense to the city would ensue for survey, inventory and appraisement of the existing plant's holdings. (6) A competing light plant, in the judgment of this Council, at a cost of a million dollars would not result in any substantial reduction in rates, be- cause after the payment of operating expenses, interest and principal on said boTids, the revenues of a competing plant would not justify a substantial reducition in rates, nor provide a profit for the City. (7) Under the present offer and set-up, the City would be compelled to pay approximately60,000.00 interest before the plant is put in operation, and in addition thereto the expense of survey, inventory and appraisement of the existing plant which, in all probability would not be less in the aggregate of $701000.00. (8) T e are of the opinion that municipal ownership of an electric light and power system wou1G be niore satisfactory and much more profitable if the City would purchase outright the prc-ent system, even at a greater cost than the con- struction of a new system, thereby securing the entire field of revenue and patron- age, and avoiding epripetition with all its attendant rate fights and other trouble. (9) The City at this time does not have the funds available to coriply with the Government's offer for interest payment beginning September 1, 1936, ex- pense of survey, inventory and appraisal of the existing plant, without either increasing the tax rate, finding other sources of revenue, or repealing the homestead exemption. For these reasons, we do not believe it wise to order said election.
