PUBLIC HEARING, TXU GAS DISTRIBUTION'S RATE CHANGE ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING RATES 12 Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open. Assistant to the City Manager Melisa Leal reported that on February 16, 2001, TXU filed a request to increase rates effective March 23, 2001. The City passed a resolution suspending the effective date for 90 days and authorized participation with other Cities in a review of the reasonableness of the company's request. The TXU, Cities Steering Committee reviewing the rate request hired legal counsel, Geoffrey Gay (Lloyd, Gosselink, Blevins, Rochelle, Baldwin & Townsend) and rate consultants Bill McMorries, Connie Canady, and Stephen Hill. After the consultants' report was issued, a series of settlement discussions were pursued with policy and strategic determinations being made by City representatives. The Company agreed to extend the rate suspension during the settlement negotiations for an additional 30 days --August 24th. Ms. Leal reported the negotiated rates represent a rate increase of approximately 2.6% across all rate classes. The Cities' Settlement Committee directed that the customer charges be set at $7.00 for Residential and $12.00 for Commercial, and that all other revenues be recovered through a volumetric charge. It should be noted that the Company is in the process of consolidating more than 200 Lone Star distribution systems into six or seven regional distribution systems. Ultimately, the Company intends to create one large Dallas -Ft. Worth Metroplex Regional Distribution System. The settlement agreement results in common rates for each class of customers in all 40 affected cities in this filing. As a result, the percentage changes by City vary wildly because of different existing rates and different mixes of residential, commercial and industrial customers. For the City of Grapevine, the average rate increase for Residential customers is 1.15% and for Commercial customers 0% (with gas costs included). The Utilities Committee, the City Attorney and Staff have reviewed the TXU Gas Distribution Rates and recommend approval. Mayor Tate invited guests present to speak.

WORKSHOP, BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2001-2002 City Manager Roger Nelson presented the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2001-2002 (FY2002) noting the budget represents our continuing commitment to prudent fiscal management while further enhancing City services to improve the quality of life and meet expressed needs in our community. The proposed budget continues efforts to meet operational requirements caused by continuing growth pressures in Northeast Tarrant County, while at the same time keeping the tax rate as low as possible. He highlighted various capital projects that have been completed, or are currently in progress: Palace Theatre Restoration Project, the Lancaster Theatre, purchase and restoration of the Tarantula Steam Train, the Library expansion, various road improvement projects, the Opryland Texas Project, completion and opening of Phase 11 of the Golf Course Expansion and reconstruction project, a computer aided dispatch and records management systems for the Police Department. Mr. Nelson stated the FY2002 Budget has been prepared in a format which will allow the City accounting processes to be fully compliant with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34 (GASB34) for FY2002 and beyond. Overall City expenditures are not affected by the change, the appearance of the Budget has changed as compared to prior years and the City Accounting system is being adjusted accordingly, 08/22/01 City Manager Nelson noted the pay raises for all employees are included in the FY2002 Budget proposal at a maximum level of 3% for salary scale adjustments, 3% for merit increases and 5% for public safety step increases. Mr. Nelson reviewed the remaining funds of the City noting that FY2002 will be the third year of a three year program to raise utility fees to the level necessary to maintain adequate debt coverage and provide for increased costs of operation. A 6.75% water and wastewater rate increase is proposed for FY2002. Included in the Utility Fund is Phase III of the Geographic Information System (GIS) implementation project begun in FY2000, as well as funding for GIS operations in 2002. The Convention & Visitors Bureau projects and activities for FY2002 have been scaled back to compensate for the anticipated loss of occupancy tax revenues as a result of the major construction project related to the west tower of the DFW Hyatt at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. City Manager Nelson stated the proposed budget reduces the current tax rate from $0.375 per $100.00 to $0.366 per $100.00, a 0.9 cent reduction.
