O. Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Malone: <br /> <br />On Friday, November 9, 1990 our Company filed with your City a request <br />to implement the final two steps of a three-step rate moderation plan, <br />first initiated in November, 1988, which would allow us to recover the <br />costs to construct new power plants to support our fuel diversification <br />program, as well as other changes in our cost of service. <br /> <br />As in the past, the City has 35 days in which to take action, or the <br />rates will go into effect on December 17, 1990. The two alternatives <br />available to the City are to Suspend or Deny the application filed. <br /> <br />It is recognized that a number of our district cities joined the <br />Coalition of Cities and would be hesitant to deny the application if such <br />action would be a detriment to their participation in the coalition's <br />effort to negotiate a settlement of the issues, while a suspension would <br />require future action be taken by the City at the end of the 90 day <br />suspension period. <br /> <br />To aid you in your decision, our Company has prepared a sample <br />ordinance that denies the Application, but which includes language that <br />indicates ".. . the City is desirous of assuring that it will have the <br />opportunity to continue to review the Company's case in an effort to <br />negotiate a settlment of all issues before the Public Utility Commis- <br />sion.. .". It is felt this is the preferred route to be taken by your City. <br /> <br />Also attached for your review is a sample suspension resolution that <br />may be utilized, if this is your desire. <br /> <br />If you have any questions on this matter, I will be glad to <br />discuss them with you, at your convenience. <br /> <br />/,/ Sincer21Y, <br /> <br />/"/y ~ <br />'-t1~~ <br /> <br />District Manager <br /> <br />JW/jm <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A Subsidiary of Houston Industries Incorporated <br />
