Council authorizes joining Encore steering committee to support utility rate challenges
Summary
Council approved Resolution R-12-2025 authorizing continued participation with the Encore steering committee and a per-capita payment to support regulatory and legal work related to Encore Electric Delivery Company rate proceedings.
The council on July 14 approved Resolution R-12-2025 authorizing continued participation with the steering committee of cities served by Encore Electric Delivery Company, LLC and agreed to a per-capita payment to the steering committee to fund regulatory and legal activities related to a rate proceeding. City staff explained the steering committee pools resources for expert and legal representation in complex utility rate cases and recommended joining the group after previously electing to participate with a similar Atlas Energy group. Staff described the incumbent Encore filing as a significant rate request and noted the committee provides a cost-effective way for small cities to participate in regulatory proceedings rather than litigating individually. Council approved the resolution by motion with no recorded opposition. Staff will process the per-capita payment and continue coordination with the steering committee on the Encore rate case.
