The next order of business was for the City Council to hold ;
a public hearing for the purpose of considering the Lone
Star Gas Company rate increase request. ',
Mr. Vernie Henderson for the benefit of the audience gave
a brief history of the proceedings to date. '
Councilman Pirkle, Chairman of the Utility Committee stated
that it was the recommendation of the Utility Committee that !
Lone Star Gas Company be granted an increase based on the ;
separated data furnished that would permit the company to ;
earn 7� on its invested capital. He added that the Committee �
further recommended that the City Manager, in conjunction f
with Lone Star Gas Company representatives , set a rate to �
compensate the increase and prepare an ordinance to be �
considered at the next City Council meeting. {
Mr. Henderson stated that 7% did not take into consideration =
the lower percentage of investment on the Grapevine distribu-
tion system.
�
Mayor Tate commented that the rate increase request was k
submitted on the basis of the 1975 data as a distribution �
system and not on the City of Grapevine alone. He added ;
that the Council was attempting to act on the City of
Grapevine and not the distribution system. He continued '
to say that the company refused to amend its application to
apply only to Grapevine but have maintained that they are
still requesting a 247 increase on the distribution system,
based on 1975 data. There was then a lengthy discussion
regarding the 1976 distribution income statement .
D�ayor Tate commented that Lone Star Gas had not been granted
a general rate increase in Grapevine since October, 1972,
during which pe ri od everyone had suffered a tremendous rate
of inflation. He added that he felt because of a deterioter-
ing factor in the company�s rate of return, some small in- ;
crease would be in order. ;
;
f;
�
Councilman Dunn complimented the Utility Commission for their ;
efforts and respectfully commented that he did not feel he
had been supplied with any information that indicated a rate
increase of any amount should be granted Lone Star Gas . He
added that he would not vote in favor of a rate increase.
After much discussion f rom other Council Members and Mr.
Henderson, Councilman Florence made a motion to accept the
recommendation of the Utility Committee and grant a rate of
return of 77 based on separated data showing a 1975 rate of
return of 5.81� applicable to the City of Grapevine only.
The City Attorney advised that the motion needed to be amended
to include instructing the City Administration to work with
Lone Star Gas Company in preparing the necessary ordinance
for presentation to the Council during the next meeting .
Councilman Florence stated that he so amended his motion.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Da,lton and prevailed
by the fottowing vote:
