FORD <br />FRANK O. MANCUSO <br />~IM WESTMORELAND <br />FRANK E. MANN <br />~OHNNY GOYEN <br />CONTROLLER <br />LEONEL J. CASTiLLO <br />Since you first called me approximately two weeks ago regarding the <br />Entex case, I have had the opportunity to read the materials, and we have <br />conversed once more regarding them. As I promised you at that time, my <br />staff and I have made further investigations into the materials. <br />As you know, today is my last day as Director of the Department of <br />Pub'i~ Service of the City of Houston. I will be returning to the private <br />practice of law in the near future. <br />However, I have directed Mr. James Watkins, our Chief Rate Analyst, <br />and h1s. Jer Mardis, our Utility Coordinator, to undertake independent <br />analyses of the Entex submission to the City of Shore Acres. I am pre- <br />suming that this submission is the same, or substantially identical, to the <br />presentations made to the other 41 cities in the Entex Texas Coast Division. <br />As you will see from the attached copies of those analyses by members <br />of our City of Houston staff, there are many questions which. in our opinion <br />should be raised by your city before accepting the Entex proposal. <br />I have also enclosed a brief memo from Ms. Jer P1ardis which discusses <br />~"major" and "minor" changes under Section 43 of the Public Utility Regulatory <br />Act. If you and/or members of ,your City Council want to hold a hearing on the <br />matter, it would be our suggestion that you turn this over to your City Attorney <br />for further review. You and your City Attorney should also be advised that <br />Section 24 of the Public Utility Regulatory Act, Article 1446(c) permits your <br />• <br />a <br />ck}• <br />O~ <br />HOUSTON <br />
