The Company is seeking to increase rates by approximately $317 million over rates currently in place, or approximately 7.5% over present revenues. Residential customers would see an 11.8% increase in rates. Ifapproved, a residential customer using 1000 kWh per month would see a bill increase of about $6.68 per month.  Additionally, the Company proposes to increase street lighting rates by 0.5%.  The rate increase requested by Oncor will become effective on April 21, 2017, unless the city takes action to suspend the effective date. The statute permits cities to extend the effective date by up to 90 days in order to study the filing. The city must take action to suspend the effective date by April 2 21,2017. Ifyour city does not have a regular council meeting scheduled before April 215 or is otherwise unable to take action on the suspension resolution by April 21*,  please contact me as soon as possible.  Attached to this memo is a model suspension resolution and staff report. In the past, Oncor local managers have provided cities with a model denial resolution and may recommend that the city immediately deny the rate request. Ifthis occurs, we do not recommend that you deny the request at this time. Suspending the effective date allows cities more time to review the application and decide on the final action, including settlement or denial of Oncor's requested  rate increase.  The Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor will hold a conference call of all Steering Committee members later this month to discuss Oncor's rate request. During the call there will also be an opportunity for Steering Committee members to discuss strategy with  Steering Committee consultants and attorneys.

The Company asks the City to approve an 11.8% increase in residential rates and a 0.5% increase in street lighting rates. If approved, a residential customer using 1000 kWh per  month would see al bill increase of about $6.68 per month.  The resolution suspends the April 21, 2017 effective date oft the Company's rate increase for the maximum period permitted by law to allow the City, working in conjunction with the Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor, to evaluate the filing, determine whether the filing complies with law, and if lawful, to determine what further strategy, including settlement,  toj pursue.  The law provides that a rate request made by an electric utility cannot become effective until at least 35 days following the filing of the application to change rates. The law permits the City to suspend the rate change for 90 days after the date the rate change would otherwise be effective. Ifthe City fails to take some action regarding the filing before the effective date,  Oncor'srate request is deemed administratively approved.  DISCUSSION  The City of Seagoville is a member of a 156-city coalition known as the Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor ("Steering Committee"). The Steering Committee has been in existence since the late 1980s. It took on a formal structure in the early 1990s when cities served by the former TXU gave up their statutory right to rate case expense reimbursement in exchange for higher franchise fee payments. Empowered by city resolutions and funded by per capita assessments, the Steering Committee has been the primary public interest advocate before the Public Utility Commission, the Courts, and the Legislature on electric utility  regulation matters for the last 30 years.  Although Oncor has increased rates many times over the past few years, this is the first  comprehensive base rate case for the Company since. January, 2011.  Explanation of"Bel It] Resolved" Paragraphs:  Section 1. The City is authorized to suspend the rate change for 90 days after the date that the rate change would otherwise be effective for any legitimate purpose. Time to study and investigate the application is always a legitimate purpose. Please note that the resolution refers to the suspension period as "the maximum period allowed by law" rather than ending by a specific date. This is because the Company controls the effective date and can extend the  1669/35/7314209.1    deadline for final city action to increase the time that the City retains jurisdiction ifr necessary to reach settlement on the case. If the suspension period is not otherwise extended by the Company, the City must take final action on Oncor's request to raise rates by April 21, 2017. Section 2. This provision authorizes the Steering Committee, consistent with the City's resolution approving membership in the Steering Committee, to act on behalf of the City at the local level in settlement discussions, in preparation of a rate ordinance, on appeal of the rate ordinance to the PUC, and on appeal to the Courts. Negotiating clout and efficiency are enhanced by the City cooperating with the Steering Committee in a common review and common purpose. Additionally, rate case expenses are minimized when the Steering Committee hires one set of attorneys and experts who work under the guidance and control oft the Executive  Committee oft the Steering Committee.  Section 3. The Company will reimburse the Steering Committee for its reasonable rate case expenses. Legal counsel and consultants approved by the Executive Committee of the Steering Committee will submit monthly invoices that will be forwarded to Oncor for reimbursement. Noi individual city incurs liability for payment of rate case expenses by adopting  as suspension resolution.  Section 4. This section merely recites that the resolution was passed at a meeting that was open to the public and that the consideration of the Resolution was properly noticed. Section 5. This section provides that both Oncor and Steering Committee counsel will be notified of the City's action by sending a copy of the approved and signed resolution to certain  designated individuals.  1669/35/7314209.1  2    SEAGOVILLE, TEXAS RESOLUTIONNO.
