Gay on behalf of your Steering Committee <br />DATE: July 3, 2003 <br />RE: Status Of Case; Need To Adopt Ordinance Denying Rate Relief To TXU Gas <br /> <br /> Last Friday, June 27, 2003, was the effective date of the new gas rates proposed by TXU <br />in its statewide rate filing. Your city suspended the effective date, authorized the joining of a <br />coalition of cities working under the direction of a Steering Committee~ and authorized the filing <br />of an intervention in the proceeding on TXU's rate application pending at the Railroad <br />Commission (RRC), GUD No. 9400. <br /> <br /> For ease of identification in GUD No. 9400, the 123 cities that passed the suspension <br />resolution recommended by the Steering Committee and joined the coalition chaired by Jay <br />Doegey, City Attorney of Arlington, are being referred to as Allied Coalition of Cities (ACC). <br />Attached please find a current listing of all cities that have authorized participation in the <br />ratemaking process. Pleadings are on file at the RRC to intervene each of the 123 cities as part <br />of ACC. <br /> <br /> There are 1.4 million customers on the TXU Gas system. Residents of ACC members <br />total approximately 870,000 or approximately 63% of all TXU gas customers. If the City of <br />Dallas (with about 234,433 customers) decides to join ACC, your coalition will be speaking on <br />behalf of nearly 80% of all customers and reflecting more than 80% of total sales volumes. <br /> <br />~ Your Steering Committee members are: Jay Doegey, Arlington; Chester Nolen, Cleburne; Nick Fehrenbach, Don <br />Knight and Amy Bock, Dallas; Tom Akins, Denison; Margaret Somereve and John Boyle, Farmers Branch; Van <br />James and Steve Williams, Flower Mound; Danny Reed, Fort Worth; Cathy Cnnningham, Irving; Diane Wetherbee <br />and John Gilliam, Piano; John Gayle and Carolyn House, Snyder; Dale Cheatham, The Colony, Art Pertile, Waco; <br />and Bok Sokoll and Janet Adkins, Waxahachie. <br /> <br />1668\09~9400~nmo030703gmg <br /> <br /> <br />
