Mayor Pro Tem Rigney read the caption of Ordinance O-23-2261.
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item noting in March
2023, Atmos filed a rate request for consideration by the Steering Committee of
Cities Served by Atmos (ACSC), which Colleyville is a member. Atmos claimed its
cost-of-service in a test year ending December 31, 2022, entitled it to additional
system-wide revenues of $165.9 million. ACSC’s consultants and Atmos negotiated
a settlement which would allow Atmos an increase of $142 million, a reduction of
$23.9 million compared to their original request. Manager Lothery noted the
recommendation is to approve the negotiated settlement agreement as denial
would result in Atmos appealing the decision to the Railroad Commission, which
has historically ruled in favor of Atmos.
Mayor Pro Tem Rigney opened and closed the public hearing without any speakers.
