Summary

The council voted to suspend Atmos Energy Corp., West Texas Division's requested rate change effective Dec. 21, 2024, to give the city time to review the request and establish rates.

The Lorenzo City Council on Nov. 12 adopted a resolution to suspend a requested rate change from Atmos Energy Corp., West Texas Division, delaying the proposed Dec. 21, 2024 effective date while the city studies the filing.

Council Member Cheryl Birdwell moved to suspend the rate change; Council Member Rhonda Cypert seconded. The motion carried with four votes in favor and one member absent. The suspension preserves the council's ability to review Atmos Energy’s rate filing and to communicate with the utility or regulatory bodies before any rate change takes effect.

The council did not include additional details in the minutes about the utility’s requested increase such as the proposed new rates or the filing number. The resolution was recorded in the meeting minutes as a formal action to pause the effective date.
