For the average residential customer using 17 ccf per month, this would mean an additional $6.26 on their bill. The City of Groves has original jurisdiction over rates, operations, and services ofa gas utility inside our city limits. The Texas Utility Code also places aduty upon the City to make a reasonable determination of rate base, expenses, investment and rate of return, and retain the necessary personnel to determine reasonable rates. The proposed ordinance suspends the rate increase for 90 days (until October 6, 2024) to give staff and Council time to properly review TGS'srequest: andi make an informed decision. The ordinance also authorizes hiring attorneys and rate experts, whose expenses will be reimbursed by TGS. If the ordinance is approved, the City will join the TGS Central-Gulf Service Area Steering Committee to coordinate efforts. The City has taken this action every time TGS has filed fora rate increase or made a Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) filing. The Lawton Law  Firm has been hired by the City in the past to represent us in the filings.
