This meeting will be held at 10:00 A.M. on <br />Friday, July 28, 1978, in the fourth floor conference room <br />(Room 4100A) of the City Hall Annex in Houston. The City Hall <br />Annex is directly across the street from the Houston City Hall <br />and is located in the downtown area near One Shell Plaza. You <br />are urged to have a representative in attendance if you wish to <br />discuss the appropriate handling of this rate request. <br />Simultaneously with the filing of the local rate cases, HL&P <br />filed a rural rate case with the Public Utility Commission. <br />The rural rate case filed with the PUC will likely be precedent <br />setting for the city rate cases because the PUC has appellate <br />jurisdiction from city regulation. Because of the importance <br />of the case at the PUC, Houston, Baytown and perhaps others <br />have filed interventions in such case. The deadline for <br />filing any such intervention is Monday, July 24, 1978. Because <br />of the limited time for filing interventions, TML has been <br />asked to file a blanket intervention which would allow its <br />member cities to participate or not, if they so choose, in <br />the case at the PUC. <br />If you have any questions concerning the case at the PUC, <br />appropriate handling at the local level, or the scheduled meeting <br />please call Harriet Hubacker, Assistant City Attorney, at <br />713/222-5165 in Houston, or Don Butler at 512/476-6604 in <br />Austin. <br />
