proposed Rate RTU1-M - Residential Time-of-Use Service-Municipality, and
proposed Rate GTUC-M - General Service Time-of-Use Voluntary
Curtailable-Municipality (said three proposed new rate schedules hereinafter

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COLLEYVI LLE, TEXAS:

Sec. 3.
Sec. 4.
Sec. 5.

Electric is authorized to render service and to collect charges as specified
in the Time-of-Use Rate Schedu les from its customers electing to receive
electric service under Time-of-Use Rate Schedules within the corporate
limits of the City of Colleyville until such time as said rate schedules may
be changed, modified, amended, or withdrawn with the approval of the City
Council.
THAT the Time-of-Use Rate Schedules herein approved shall be effective
from and after the final passage and approval of this Ordinance.
THAT the filing of the Time-of-Use Rate Schedules shall constitute notice
to the customers of electricity within this municipality of the availability and
application of such Time-of-Use Rate Schedules.
THAT TU Electric shall not seek any additional rate or surcharge
mechanism to recover any revenues lost on account of the application of
these time-of-use rates, and there shall be no imputed revenues on account
of any reduction in TU Electric's revenues that may result from the
application of these time-of-use rates.

Page 2 of 3
Sec.6.
Texas in Docket No. 18490 shall be applied to the time-of-use rates
approved herein, such that Rider RRD shall be applicable to Rate RTU1-M,
Rider GSRD shall be applied to all customers taking secondary service
under either Rate GTU-M designated as GTU-M-SEC or under Rate GTUC-
M designated as GTUC-M-SEC, and Rider RD shall be applied to all other
customers on Rate GTU-M or Rate GTUC-M.
THAT in its next general base rate case in which the time-of-use rates
herein approved are at issue, TU Electric will either (a) include all
customers taking service under GTUC or GTUC-M during the test year
involved in such base rate case as a separate rate class in its cost
allocation study, or (b) include in its cost allocation study the load and
revenue data applicable to each GTUC or GTUC-M customer taking service
under Rate GTUC to GTUC-M during the test year involved in such base
rate case with the load and revenue data of the rate case applicable to
such GTUC or GTUC-M customer immediately prior to such customer's
taking service under Rate GTUC or GTUC-M. In the event, however, that
industry restructuring is mandated by legislative changes prior to the time
that TU Electric has another general base rate case and such legislation
authorizes the recovery by TU Electric of any stranded costs from its
various customer classes in accordance with its last approved cost of
service study, the customers then receiving service under the time-of-use
rates will be included in the customer classes reflected in TU Electric's most
recent cost of service study as follows:

RTU;

be included in Rate Class HV, customers receiving service at primary
distribution voltages shall be included in Rate Class GP, customers
receiving service at secondary distribution voltages shall be included
in Rate Class GS; and
(C) Customers on Rate GTUC-M shall be included in Rate Class
(Noticed Interruptible) depending on the voltage level of the service,
such that customers on Rate GTUC-M receiving service at high

operations, and services of TU Electric.
Sec. 8.
