The council approved Ordinance 1575 on a negotiated settlement between the city’s steering committee (ASCS/ACSC) and Atmos Energy Corporation regarding the company's 2025 rate-revision-mechanism filing.
Counselor Mr. Degrasson explained that the original rate-review filing had requested roughly $245 million in increases; the steering group reduced their ask to about $195 million and the negotiated settlement was described in the meeting as approximately $25 million. Mr. Degrasson said the settlement, if approved, would change customer rates; he cited a residential-average figure of 9.27% and said commercial and industrial increases were “very similar.” He said the settlement would take effect Oct. 1.
Councilors moved and seconded approval during the regular agenda; after brief discussion the motion carried. The ordinance text states the council is declaring existing rates unreasonable, adopting tariffs that reflect the negotiated settlement and directing delivery of the ordinance to the company and ACSC counsel. The ordinance record also notes the matter was handled in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act.
The transcript does not include an itemized vote tally for this ordinance; the clerk recorded the motion as passing.
