City Council Meeting October 9, 2000 Page 5 and the problem with not going forward in the lawsuit is that the City of Paris will be jeopardizing the city's position when they use the base line, and if they find it incorrect, and the city is using a lot more kilowatt hours or a lot fewer kilowatt hours and the gross receipt numbers were incorrect, then the only way you can really correct that situation is to join in this law suit. Ms. Richardson said the settlement that comes out of this will be specific to the City of Paris and it will be based on the real numbers. Ms. Richardson advised the City Council that they were still in the discovery phase and they have requested information on all municipalities so that Denton is not alone and in some cases they have not been able to get any information because when Lone Star Gas and TXU merged, they can not seem to find some of the basic information to tell them what the gross receipts were and how they determined the funds that should have gone to the cities. After further discussion with Ms. Richardson, a motion was made by Councilman Plata, seconded by Councilman Bell, for approval of the resolution. The motion carried 7 ayes,0 nays.
