It was stated that the Ordinance could be <br />amended at some point in time. <br /> <br />17. Request by Representative of La Porte Police Officer's <br />Association to speak at this time <br /> <br />This item was removed from the agenda at the request of the <br />Police Officer's Association. <br /> <br />18. <br /> <br />Council considered Ordinance No. 1415 denying application <br />of Houston Lighting and Power to change rates to be charged <br />in the City of La Porte. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mayor Cline asked Mr. Wyatt if he would speak to Council on <br />this item. <br /> <br />Mr. Jim Wyatt of Houston Lighting and Power Company spoke. <br />On June 15th HL&P did file notice of application during that <br />session. Mr. Wyatt stated that he encouraged Council to take <br />one of two actions either to suspend or deny. He recommended <br />denying the leases for 90 days to go with the coalition of <br />cities. You have tile October 15th to request a little <br />speedier action on this. We are currently in hearing; have <br />been since the 24th. Whatever action is filed, filed action <br />the cities take, we more than likely appeal. The Commission <br />will consolidate all appeals and hear them as part of the <br />formal hearing. He stated that the final order would be in <br />December or January and the rates would be put into effect <br />February 1st. He stated that the rates will not go up until <br />the PUC issues final order. <br /> <br />The question was asked of Mr. Wyatt whether or not HL&P is <br />planning to put any rates under bond. <br /> <br />Mr. Wyatt replied that had been discussed; and doubtful it <br />would happen. He stated that he couldn't remember under the <br />"sunset" provisions the legislature reviewed the PUC bill <br />and made quite a few extensive changes. He thought that might <br />be one of them. <br /> <br />r" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />~ <br />
