Council reappoints municipal judges, approves Atmos Energy settlement and several solid‑waste permits
Summary
By voice vote the council reappointed Judge Hunt and Judge Beard, approved an ordinance adopting an Atmos Energy rate settlement that reduced the company's request in negotiations, and authorized three annual solid‑waste collection permits.
The Paris City Council reappointed Judge Hunt as municipal court judge and Judge Beard as associate municipal court judge by motion and voice vote during its Sept. 9 meeting.
The council also approved an ordinance accepting a negotiated settlement between the Atmos City Steering Committee and Atmos Energy Corp.'s MidTex division. Staff said the committee's negotiations reduced Atmos's original request by nearly $4 million; the ordinance accepts a rate adjustment consistent with the negotiated settlement.
Finally, council approved issuance of three annual solid‑waste collection permits to local providers after staff confirmed they had paid fees and maintained required insurance.
Votes were taken by voice; the transcript records motions, seconds and an "All in favor?" response but does not provide a roll‑call tally by name.
