to Mr. Kreymer, but he will not do anything.

engineering firm of CH2M Hill for the wastewater treatment
plant. Staff also recommends terminating our contract with Waft
NTMWD effective Oct. 1 , 1986 .
Councilwoman Donovan said with the sewer problems, she is
scared to have the City of Wylie take on the job of the
wastewater treatment plant. When you look at the cost for
all the services, Councilwoman Donovan does not feel the
City can obtain the employees to do the job.
Mayor Hughes said we are a fast growing City, once we have a
plan and start the plan up, then you see results.
Councilman Fulgham said immediate decision was needed on the
engineering firm.
Motion was made by Councilwoman Donovan to go with CH2M Hill
engineering firm and for them to work with NTMWD and them
come back to Council with the plans and desgin on upgrading
our existing treatment plant .
Councilman Fulgham said if our engineers are working with
them, okay.
Mayor Hughes ask if the city would be billed from CH2M Hill
and NTMWD.
City Manager Gus Pappas said this is most unusual procedure
to hire an engineering firm and send them to NTMWD.
Carl Riehn said NTMWD has never billed a city for
participating in a plan.
Councilman Fulgham said if we are paying CH2M Hill, why
would we not want our city staff working with them. To
leave our staff out is irresponsible to our citizens.
Councilman Westerhof said the staff needs to have input on
this.
Councilwoman Donovan said she would amend her motion as
follows : Motion was made to hire CH2M Hill Engineering Firm
to work with the city staff and NTMWD on the upgrading of
the existing wastewater treatment plant scope and services.

fields . WSA has asked the City to furnish signs stating
prohibiting the use of the fields and WSA will be
responsible for putting them up when conditions warrant it .

REPORT ON RATE CONSULTANTS STUDY OF LONE STAR GAS RATE
INCREASE REQUEST: Mr. James Johnson said this request was
made in Feb. , 1986 . The proposed rate structure would have
resulted in revenues of $32 ,845 .00 . This filling for rate
increase is the first one since 1982 for Lone Star Gas.
This rate increase was not based on increased gas costs but
operational , overhead and administrative costs associated
with their Wylie system operations. In Feb. , 1986 there
were five major areas that needed additional analysis.
These are: 1 . the use of working capital in the rate base by
Lone Star Gas; 2 . the inclusion of the 1% adjusted value
increment factor or $93 ,743 . in the rate base; 3 . return on
equity, Lone Star Gas asked for 15 .08%; 4 . Federal Income
Tax deferrals and their proposed handling of the unrestored
investment tax credits, and 5 . fair rate of return. In
March, 1986 council approved a 90 day suspension of rate
change and requested further review and analysis.
Mr. Jack Stowe, CPA of Pannell, Kerr and Forester has
completed the rate analysis. Mr. Stowe has submitted an
increase that would produce $15 ,379 . in additional revenues
each year from the Wylie system to off set additional
operational expenses .
Mr. Stowe said his firm recommends the following :
154
1. The company' s original net investment required to serve
the Wylie Distribution System is $367 ,322 VS. $426,189 .
requested by the Company.
2 . Based upon the proposed capital structure adjusted for
known and measurable changes the Company' s cost of capital
per this analysis is 11 .99% .
3 . Under existing rates and a base cost of gas of $3 .4944
per MCF the Company' s adjusted test year earnings are
$33 ,068 requiring additional revenues of $15 ,379, to earn
the recommended rate of return previously stated,
4 . We recommend the following rate schedule to allow the
Company the opportunity to earn our recommended return:
Residential - Winter Base Rate Revnue
Winter Customer Charge 9 ,123 X 5 .00 = $ 45,615 .
Block 1 71 ,602 X 4 .5044 = 322 ,524

Summer Base Rate Revenue
Summer Customer Charge 6 ,165 X 5 .00 = $ 30 ,825 .
Block 1 13,832 X 5 .00 = 58 ,847 .
Summer Total $ 89 ,672 .
Commercial
Winter Customer Charge 784 X 8 .00 = $ 6 ,272.
Block 1 46 ,141 X 4 .5044 = 207 ,838 .
Total Winter $214 ,110 .
Summer Base Rate Revenue
Summer Customer Charge 488 X 8 .00 = $ 3 ,904 .
Block 1 9 ,301 X 4 .2544 = 39,570

the Wylie system to off set additional operational expenses.
Mr. Cook from Lone Star Gas stated that he did not disagree
with the rate study that Mr . Stowe did but if the increase
is not an adequate one, than Lone Star Gas will be back
before three years.

return and Mr . Stowe has suggested a 14% return.
