The San Juan City Commission voted to adopt a resolution denying a proposed rate increase from Texas Gas Service Company at its meeting (date not specified). City staff told the commission the company had proposed an increase described in the meeting record as 41,100,000, a 9.83% increase affecting incorporated territory including parts of the Rio Grande Valley.
City-contracted consultants reviewed the filing and, following advice from city attorneys, staff recommended the commission adopt a resolution to deny the request. Mister O'Hara (staff member) presented the background and the recommendation that the commission approve the resolution denying the rate change. The commission then moved, seconded and voted in favor; the chair announced the motion carried.
The decision means the city formally objects to the utility 27s proposed rate change and directs staff to proceed consistent with that resolution. The resolution and any subsequent filings or appeals were not given a resolution number in the meeting record and the motion did not include a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.
