Council approves routine consent items, Atmos settlement, city manager contract amendment and conditional economic incentive
Summary
Council approved the consent agenda, a negotiated settlement with Atmos Energy, an amendment to the city manager's contract to comply with new state law, and an economic incentive agreement contingent on EDC approval. All actions passed unanimously.
Several non‑controversial and administrative items received unanimous council approval during the meeting.
The consent agenda was moved, seconded and approved unanimously early in the meeting.
On a separate item, staff recommended approval of a negotiated settlement in the pending Atmos Energy rate case. City staff reported the utility's original request sought about a $225.6 million revenue increase; negotiations through the steering committee reduced the settlement amount to about $205.6 million. Council approved the settlement unanimously.
Council also authorized the mayor to work with the city attorney and city manager to amend the city manager's contract as required by a "new state law," including executing necessary documents. That authorization passed unanimously.
After a brief executive session on an economic development matter, the council approved an incentive agreement with Bootleggers Corinth LLC, contingent on approval by the Economic Development Corporation.
All of the above items were recorded as unanimous council actions; staff indicated follow‑up steps (ordinance preparation, EDC consideration and execution of documents) where applicable.
