GRIP process instituted by the Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the City took action earlier this year to approve a Settlement Agreement
with Atmos Mid-Tex resolving the Company's 2007 rate case and authorizing the RRM Tariff;

million, such increase to be effective in every municipality that has adopted the RRM tariff
within its Mid-Tex Division; and

Negotiation Committee made up of ACSC representatives and assisted by ACSC attorneys and
consultants to resolve issues identified by ACSC in the Company's RRM filing; and
WHEREAS, the Company has filed evidence that existing rates are unreasonable and
should be changed; and
WHEREAS, independent analysis by ACSC's rate expert concluded that Atmos is able to
justify a rate increase of $19.8 million; and

recommends ACSC members approve the attached rate tariffs ("Attachment A" to this
Ordinance) that will increase the Company's revenue requirement by $20 million; and

("Attachment B" to this Ordinance) are consistent with the negotiated resolution reached by

to $7.00 per month) and are just, reasonable, and in the public interest; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that ACSC Cities receive the benefit of any
Settlement Agreement that Atmos enters into with other entities arising out of its RRM or any

Section 6. That if ACSC Cities determine any rates, revenues, terms and conditions, or
benefits resulting from a Final Order or subsequent negotiated settlement approved in any
proceeding addressing the issues raised in Atmos' RRM filing would be more beneficial to the
ACSC Cities than the terms of the attached tariff, then the more favorable rates, revenues, terms
