Mayor  ATTEST: City Secretary  APPROVED AS TOFORM:  City Attorney  678/42/7586670  3    Model Staff Report in Support ofTGS COSA Tariff Ordinance  Background  On March 12, 2018, Texas Gas Service Company, a Division of ONE Gas, Inc., ("TGS" or "Company") filed with the Cities a Cost of Service Adjustment ("COSA") Tariff within the incorporated areas of the Rio Grande Valley Service Area ("RGVSA"). On February 1, the Company provided an initial draft of a proposed COSA containing new language for consideration. Attorney, Thomas Brocato, and consultant, Karl Nalepa, were hired by the of McAllen to review the TGS draft filing and negotiate a revised COSA Tariff with City the  Company. Purpose of the COSA  The Texas Legislature allows gas utilities to annually adjust rates based on changes to invested capital. That statutory provision is referred to as the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program ("GRIP"). In a GRIP proceeding, cities are not allowed to intervene at the Railroad Commission, cannot challenge the reasonableness of any investment, and may not recover rate case expenses. In 2009, RGVSA Cities negotiated a COSA tariff as a three year experimental substitute for the GRIP process. Finding the COSA process to be mutually beneficial, the COSA process was renewed at the end oft the experiment. In 2012, Cities and TGS agreed to a revised COSA tariff which expired in 2016. TGS filed a Statement of Intent Rate Proceeding in RGVSA cities in 2017. This tariffi is a new revised COSA Tariff negotiated between TGS and cities. The new tariff will become effective thirty-five days from the date of filing in the Cities, or April  2018.  16,  As set forth in the COSA Tariff, TGS would submit by May 1 of each year a COSA filing that establishes the proposed annual adjustment (up or down) that would be effective the  first billing cycle of August each year.  This COSA Tariff would be authorized for a period of three years, effective the first billing cycle of August 2018 and shall automatically renew for successive annual periods unless either the Company or City gives written notice to the contrary by February 1,2021, or February  lofeach succeeding year. Resolution of the Draft COSA Filing  Cities' consultant Karl Nalepa recommended adjustments to the Company's draft COSA  Tariff. Settlement discussions resulted in TGS agreeing to:  1. 3.  Change the initial period from 1 year to 3 years; Charge, with the excess applied to the Commodity Charge; Lower the annual rate adjustment capi from 6%1 to 5%;  2. Apply the first $.50 of the residential rate adjustment to the residential Customer  678/42/7587325    4. Apply the annual rate adjustment cap to the total Commodity Charge rather than  only operating expenses; and  5.  Calculating cash working capital ("CWC") using lead/lag days from the most  recent RGVSA rate case rather than just setting CWC to $0.  EXPLANATION OF "BE IT ORDAINED" PARAGRAPHSINT THE ORDINANCE Section 1. The paragraph finds the COSA Tariff reasonable and adopts the tariff. Section 2. This paragraph repeals any prior City action that might be inconsistent with the  new tariffs adopted by the Council.  Section 3. This paragraph recites compliance with the Open Meetings Act.  Section 4. This paragraph is a typical savings clause, preserving the remaining provisions of  the Ordinance should any one provision be determined to be invalid.  Section 5. The tariff will become effective as of April 16, 2018.  Section 6. This paragraph requires that an adopted and signed copy oft the Ordinance be sent  tot the Company and general counsel to the City.  RECOMMENDATION  The City staff recommends adoption of the Tariff.  678/42/7587325  2    Luciano Ozuna, Jr From: Sent: To: Subject:  Thomas Brocato tbiocateglewim.com, Friday, March 9, 201811:30AM Thomas Brocato TGS RGVSACOSA  For several years, TGS has had a Cost of Service Adjustment ("COSA") clause within their Rio Grande Valley Service Area.

REYNALDO RODRIGUEZ  REVIEW DATA  This item was previously brought before the City Commission on 12-19-17, however the applicant has submitted al letter to the City requesting his item be reconsidered by the Commission. SITE: This property is located on the NW corner of7th St. and Acacia - see vicinity map. The subject site HISTORY: This property was once utilized as Leo's Bar. It was used as such for many years and was considered a non-conforming use. Our Non-conforming use code states the following:  measures 55'X150. The site has access to Acacia and 7ths St.  "10-11-3: NONCONFORMING USE OF BUILDING:  Except as otherwise provided or on April 1, 1995, if the amendments to this title at that date cause any building to be then nonconforming, the nonconforming use ofal building may be continued. and the use of a nonconforming building may be changed to another use of the same or more restricted classification. A nonconforming building which is or may hereafter become vacant and which shall remain unoccupied or its nonconforming use discontinued for acontinuous period ofone year shall not thereafter be occupied, except by a use which  conforms to the regulations of the district in which it is located. H  Years later Leo's closed and had been closed for more than a year, in essence voiding the "grandfathered" use. The applicant, Mr. Reynaldo Rodriguez, came into the office asking to re-open the business as a bar and grill. TITLE 10-ZONING REGULATIONS, CHAPTER 8 &9: Under the City's Zoning Code, only the C "Commerical" Zone allows for the operation ofal bar through a conditional use permit. The reason for only allowing these types of uses in a C: zone is to keep bars away from single family residential neighborhoods that may have a negative impact on the character of the neighborhood with additional traffic generated by such businesses, loud music/noise, and potential vandalism or criminal activities that sometimes come with these  types ofb businesses.  REVIEW COMMENTS  Though this property was used as a bar several years ago, the City'scodes clearly state that the non-conforming use no longer exists and any proposed uses must comply with the C-1 permitted uses, which does not allow for the sale of alcohol (al bar). The applicant can still apply for a small neighborhood restaurant, however cannot  offer the sale of alcohol. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends denial.  PAZCOMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (Wednesday, December 13,2017)  Action:  Mr.Juan Alvarado motioned to deny the variance request subject to staff's  recommendations. Mr. Eddie Singleterry seconded the motion. Motion carried.  Voting: Five (5) members present and voting.
