WHEREAS, the City of Grapevine, Texas ("City") is a gas utility customer of
Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division ("Atmos Mid-Tex" or "Company"), and a
regulatory authority with an interest in the rates and charges of Atmos Mid-Tex; and
WHEREAS, the City is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee
("ACSC"), a coalition of similarly-situated cities served by Atmos Mid-Tex (°ACSC
Cities") that have joined together to facilitate the review of, and response to, natural gas
issues affecting rates charged in the Atmos Mid-Tex service area; and
WHEREAS, ACSC and the Company worked collaboratively to develop a new
Rate Review Mechanism ("RRM") tariff that allows for an expedited rate review process
by ACSC Cities as a substitute to the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program ("GRIP")
process instituted by the Legislature, and that will establish rates for the ACSC Cities
based on the system-wide cost of serving the Atmos Mid-Tex Division; and
WHEREAS, on March 1, 2017, Atmos Mid-Tex filed its 2017 RRM rate request
with ACSC Cities; and
WHEREAS, ACSC coordinated its review of the Atmos Mid-Tex 2017 RRM filing
through its Executive Committee, assisted by ACSC's attorneys and consultants, to
resolve issues identified in the Company's RRM filing; and
WHEREAS, the Executive Committee, as well as ACSC's counsel and
consultants, recommend that ACSC Cities approve an increase in base rates for Atmos
Mid-Tex of$48 million on a system-wide basis; and
WHEREAS, the attached tariffs implementing new rates are consistent with the
recommendation of the ACSC Executive Committee, are agreed to by the Company,
and are just, reasonable, and in the public interest; and
WHEREAS, the RRM Tariff contemplates reimbursement of ACSC's reasonable
expenses associated with RRM applications; and
WHEREAS, the Company and ACSC have agreed that rates should be adjusted
if any change in federal income tax rates is implemented during the period that rates
approved herein remain in place; and
WHEREAS, because ACSC believes that certain provisions of the current terms
and conditions of the RRM tariff are inconsistent with market conditions, the City
expects renegotiation of the current RRM tariff in the Summer of 2017.
WHEREAS, all constitutional and statutory prerequisites for the approval of this
Ordinance have been met, including but not limited to the Open Meetings Act; and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems the adoption of this Ordinance to be in the
best interests of the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS:
Section 1. That all matters stated hereinabove are found to be true and correct
and are incorporated herein by reference as if copied in their entirety.
Section 2. That the findings set forth in this Ordinance are hereby in all things
approved.
Section 3. That the City Council finds that the settled amount of an increase in
revenues of$48 million on a system-wide basis represents a comprehensive settlement
of gas utility rate issues affecting the rates, operations, and services offered by Atmos
Mid-Tex within the municipal limits arising from Atmos Mid-Tex's 2017 RRM filing, is in
the public interest, and is consistent with the City's authority under Section 103.001 of
the Texas Utilities Code.
Ordinance No. 2017-030 2
Section 4. That the existing rates for natural gas service provided by Atmos Mid-
Tex are unreasonable. The new tariffs attached hereto and incorporated herein as
Attachment A, are just and reasonable, and are designed to allow Atmos Mid-Tex to
recover annually an additional $48 million in revenue over the amount allowed under
currently approved rates, as shown in the Proof of Revenues attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Attachment B; such tariffs are hereby adopted.
Section 5. That the ratemaking treatment for pensions and other post-
employment benefits in Atmos Mid-Tex's next RRM filing shall be as set forth on
Attachment C, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Section 6. Consistent with Texas Utilities Code Section 104.055(c), Atmos
Energy's recovery of federal income tax expense through the Rider RRM has been
computed using the statutory income tax rate. In the event that a change in the
statutory income tax rate is implemented during the Rider RRM Rate Effective Date,
Atmos Energy shall reconcile the difference between the amount of federal income tax
expense included in the Rider RRM calculation for the Rate Effective Date with the
amount of federal income tax expense authorized under the new statutory income tax
rate. The reconciliation period shall be from the date on which any new statutory
income tax rate is implemented through the Rate Effective Date. An interest component
calculated at the customer deposit interest rate then in effect as approved by the
Railroad Commission of Texas shall be applied to the federal income tax expense
reconciliation. Further, any required reconciliation of federal income tax expense shall
be included as part of Atmos Mid-Tex's next annual RRM filing and shall be returned to
or recovered from customers as a one-time credit or surcharge to the customer's bill.
Section 7. That the City requires renegotiation of RRM tariff terms and
conditions during the Summer of 2017. If an agreed renegotiated RRM tariff cannot be
achieved, the City will terminate the RRM process and consider initiation of a traditional
rate case to reduce the Company's authorized return on equity.
Section 8. That Atmos Mid-Tex shall reimburse the reasonable ratemaking
expenses of the ACSC in processing the Company's 2017 RRM filing.
Section 9. That to the extent any resolution or ordinance previously adopted by
the Council is inconsistent with this Ordinance, it is hereby repealed.
Section 10. That the meeting at which this Ordinance was approved was in all
things conducted in strict compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas
Government Code, Chapter 551.
Section 11. That if any one or more sections or clauses of this Ordinance is
adjudged to be unconstitutional or invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or
invalidate the remaining provisions of this Ordinance, and the remaining provisions of•
the Ordinance shall be interpreted as if the offending section or clause never existed.
Ordinance No. 2017-030 3
Section 12. That consistent with the City Ordinance that established the RRM
process, this Ordinance shall become effective from and after its passage with rates
authorized by attached tariffs to be effective for bills rendered on or after June 1, 2017.
Section 13. That a copy of this Ordinance shall be sent to Atmos Mid-Tex, care
of Chris Felan, Vice President of Rates and Regulatory Affairs Mid-Tex Division, Atmos
Energy Corporation, 5420 LJB Freeway, Suite 1862, Dallas, Texas 75240, and to

APPLICABLE TO: ALL CUSTOMERS IN THE MID-TEX DIVISION EXCEPT THE CITY OF
DALLAS AND UNINCORPORATED AREAS
EFFECTIVE DATE: Bills Rendered on or after 11/01/2017 PAGE:
Provisions for Adjustment
The Commodity Charge per Ccf (100 cubic feet) for gas service set forth in any Rate Schedules utilized
by the cities of the Mid-Tex Division service area for determining normalized winter period revenues shall
be adjusted by an amount hereinafter described, which amount is referred to as the "Weather
Normalization Adjustment." The Weather Normalization Adjustment shall apply to all temperature
sensitive residential and commercial bills based on meters read during the revenue months of November
through April. The five regional weather stations are Abilene, Austin, Dallas,Waco, and Wichita Falls.
Computation of Weather Normalization Adjustment
The Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor shall be computed to the nearest one-hundredth cent
per Ccf by the following formula:
(HSFi x (NDD-ADD) )
WNAFi = Ri
IL (BLi + (HSFi x ADD) )
Where
i = any particular Rate Schedule or billing classification within any such
particular Rate Schedule that contains more than one billing classification
WNAFi = Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor for the ith rate schedule or
classification expressed in cents per Ccf
Ri = Commodity Charge rate of temperature sensitive sales for the ith schedule or
classification.
HSFi = heat sensitive factor for the ith schedule or classification divided by the
average bill count in that class
NDD = billing cycle normal heating degree days calculated as the simple ten-year
average of actual heating degree days.
ADD = billing cycle actual heating degree days.
Bli = base load sales for the ith schedule or classification divided by the average
bill count in that class
The Weather Normalization Adjustment for the jth customer in ith rate schedule is computed as:
WNA, = WNAF; x qq
Where qg is the relevant sales quantity for the jth customer in ith rate schedule.
