August 25, 2023 Report No. 2023-056
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
2023 Atmos Rate Filing and Approval
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Atmos Mid-Tex filed for a system-wide rate increase for the next year, beginning Oct. 1, 2023.
The City of Denton, through its membership in a coalition of cities, has evaluated the requested
increase and negotiated a reduction in Atmos’ overall request. The City of Denton retains original
jurisdiction over gas utility rates and must approve any rate increases.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton (“City”), along with 181 other Texas cities served by Atmos Energy Corp.,
Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee
(ACSC). In 2007, ACSC and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate application filed by Atmos for an
interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a GRIP filing, arising out of the Gas Reliability
Infrastructure Program legislation. That settlement created a new rate review process, referred to
as Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”), as a substitute for the GRIP statute in future rate filings.
This process has been in place with some modifications since that time.
DISCUSSION:
On or about March 31, 2023, Atmos Mid-Tex filed a rate request pursuant to the RRM Tariff
adopted by ACSC members. The Company claimed that its cost-of-service in a test year ending
December 31, 2022, entitled it to additional system-wide revenues of $165.9 million.
Application of the standards set forth in ACSC’s RRM Tariff reduces the Company’s request to
$156.1 million, $113.8 million of which would be applicable to ACSC members. After reviewing
the filing and conducting discovery, ACSC’s consultants concluded that the system-wide
deficiency under the RRM regime should be $130.9 million instead of the claimed $156.1 million.
After several settlement meetings, the parties have agreed to settle the case for $142 million. This
is a reduction of $23.9 million to the Company’s initial request. This includes payment of ACSC’s
expenses. The settlement also includes an additional $19.5 million for the securitization of
regulatory asset expenses related to Winter Storm Uri. This was previously approved by the Texas
Legislature and Railroad Commission.
Summary:
$165.9M: Atmos Original Request (system-wide)
$156.1M: Tariff-Related (System-wide)
$142M: Increase to after review/negotiation
$23.9M: Savings from original request
28
August 25, 2023 Report No. 2023-056
Bill Impact
The impact of the settlement on average residential rates is an increase of $6.47 monthly, or 7.31%.
The increase in average commercial usage will be $24.72 or 5.19%. A bill impact comparison
containing these figures is attached.
RRM Savings Over GRIP
The GRIP process does not allow any review of the reasonableness of capital investment and does
not allow cities to participate in the Railroad Commission’s review of annual GRIP filings or allow
recovery of Cities’ rate case expenses. The Railroad Commission undertakes a mere
administrative review of GRIP filings (instead of a full hearing) and rate increases go into effect
without any material adjustments. In ACSC’s view, the GRIP process unfairly raises customers’
rates without any regulatory oversight. In contrast, the RRM process has allowed for a more
comprehensive rate review and annual evaluation of expenses and revenues, as well as capital
investment.
While residents outside municipal limits must pay rates governed by GRIP, there are some cities
served by Atmos Mid-Tex that chose to remain under GRIP rather than adopt RRM. When new
rates become effective on October 1, 2023, ACSC residents will maintain an economic monthly
advantage over GRIP and DARR rates.
Comparison to Other Mid-Tex Rates (Residential)
AVERAGE BILL COMPARED TO RRM
CITIES
RRM CITIES $42.62 -
ATM CITIES $44.39 +$1.77
ENVIRONS $44.27 +$1.65
CONCLUSION:
The RRM process has proven to result in a more efficient and less costly (both from a consumer
rate impact perspective and from a rate-making perspective) than the GRIP process. Given Atmos
Mid-Tex’s claim that its historic cost of service should entitle it to recover $165.9 million in
additional system-wide revenues, the RRM settlement at $142 million for ACSC members reflects
substantial savings to ACSC cities. Settlement at $142 million is fair and reasonable. Staff will
recommend the City Council approve an ordinance approving the proposed rates at the Sept. 19
Council meeting, with the new rates becoming effective on October 1, 2023.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Fleet Purchase Under Delegation of Authority
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purchase of a Komatsu HM300-5 with a 6000-gallon water tank under the Delegation of
Authority approved by ordinance 22-1269. This truck was budgeted in FY22/23. This water
truck is a replacement for the current water truck used by Beneficial Reuse. The current water
truck is beyond repair and replacement of this truck contributes healthier fleet to ensure we are
meeting the needs of the City of Denton citizens.
BACKGROUND:
In late 2019, the City began experiencing challenges in securing materials and supplies due to
supply chain issues. Conditions worsened and began to affect several operational areas including
Fleet Services. Vehicle lead times grew close to a year under the organization’s normal
acquisition process. At times, vehicles and equipment become available through other avenues
such as dealer inventory, lease-to-own opportunities, and unclaimed allocations from non-
contract Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Staff requested a Delegation of Authority for Fleet Services allowing the City to move quickly
when opportunities present to procure vehicles or equipment outside the organization’s normal
acquisition process. On June 28, 2022, City Council approved Ordinance 22-1269 providing for
the delegation under the following conditions:
1) City Manager, or their designee, will be allowed to sign contracts or other required
documentation with OEM suppliers to purchase a vehicle for a city utility or public safety
department (which cost that has been approved through the budget process) through the
following means:
a) Fleet Services will review any available procured contracts (i.e. City of Denton contracts,
co-operative contracts, and other City contracts with piggyback options). Fleet Services
will use such a contract if available. Once such contract is located, City Manager, or their
designee, will be able to execute the appropriate documentation to purchase under the
contract.
b) In the event there is not a procured contract that can be used for the purchase, and the
purchase is required to protect the health and safety of City of Denton residents, Fleet
Services will work with the relevant utility or public safety department to prepare a
declaration of emergency that will detail why the purchase had to go outside of the normal
process and how health and safety are at issue to be reviewed and approved by Purchasing
and Legal.

DISCUSSION:
The replacement of this water truck was approved by budget in FY 22/23. Currently, the lead
time for a water truck is approximately 10 months. Beneficial Reuse and Fleet has made the
decision to purchase this unit that is available in the Dallas metroplex.
This water truck was recently located at Kirby-Smith Machinery, Inc. in Fort Worth, Texas.
Kirby-Smith is on Cooperative contract with BuyBoard #685-22. Chapter 791 of the Texas
Government Code authorizes respective participating governments to enter into agreements for
the purchase of goods and services. The Agreement allows both entities to utilize contracts for
goods and services competitively solicited by the other party to the contract. The solicitation
process followed by both entities meets all statutory procurement requirements per Local
Government Code 271.102.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Summary of Senate Bill 2, from the Second Special Session of the 88th Session of the Texas
Legislature
BACKGROUND:
On July 25, 2023, City staff and the City’s state legislative consultant, Jackson Walker, provided
an update on the 88th Session of the Texas Legislature. During that discussion, several Council
members inquired regarding the provisions of S.B. 2 (from the second special session), to which
staff responded that a summary would be made provided to the City Council.
S.B. 2 addresses various aspects of property tax relief, including:
• Over $12 billion in state funding to reduce school property tax rates;
• $100,000 homestead exemption for school property taxes;
• A 20% circuit breaker (essentially an appraisal cap) on appraised values for non-
homesteaded properties that are valued at $5 million and under as a three-year pilot project;
• Creates newly elected positions on local appraisal boards; and
• Savings on franchise tax for small business
DISCUSSION:
Articles 2 through 6 encompass the substantive components of S.B. 2, each addressing distinct
aspects of school district taxation and governance.
Article 2 - School District Tax Rate Compression:
This article directs the Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner to calculate the maximum
compressed tax rates (MCTR) for school districts for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years. The
MCTR is then reduced by 0.107 cents as specified in the bill. Notably, an exception applies to
ensure that no district's MCTR falls below 90 percent of another district's MCTR (a hold harmless
provision). The article includes a Sunset Provision on September 1, 2025, and takes effect upon
passage of H.J.R. 2 on the November 7, 2023 election following the official canvass.
Article 3 - School District Residence Homestead Exemption:
This article raises the homestead exemption to $100,000 of appraised value for school districts. It
also prohibits reductions or repeal of exemptions adopted under Tax Code 11.13(n) for the 2022
tax year by school districts, municipalities, and governing bodies until December 31, 2027. School
districts are entitled to additional state aid if state and local revenue servicing debt under SB 2 is
insufficient compared to the previous status as of September 1, 2022. Various provisions come
into effect upon passage of HJR 2 on the November 7, 2023, election, with specific sections having
distinct effective dates, including January 1, 2025.
38
August 25, 2023 Report No. 2023-058
Article 4 - Circuit Breaker Limitation on Property Value Increases:
Focused on non-homesteaded real property, this article establishes a “circuit breaker” appraisal
limitation of 20% for properties with up to $5 million appraised value for the 2024 tax year. This
circuit breaker applies to all taxing jurisdictions. The chief appraiser is responsible for providing
notice on property eligibility. If H.J.R. 2 is passed in the November 7, 2023, election, the circuit
breaker limitation will take effect on January 1, 2024. The circuit breaker functions as a pilot
program that will last until December 31, 2026. Other provisions of Article 4 dealing with the
appraisal process will take effect on January 1, 2027.
Note: The City is currently working to secure data from the Denton Central Appraisal District that
would allow our staff to approximate the impact of this “circuit breaker” appraisal cap, had it been
in place in the current tax year. If staff is able to receive the data for analysis, there will be a
follow-up report outlining the estimated financial impact of this portion of S.B. 2. Otherwise, the
Appraisal District plans to provide these calculations to the City in preliminary values delivered
to us beginning in late April 2024 (if applicable).”
Article 5 - Boards of Directors of Appraisal Districts:
In counties with over 75,000 population, Article 5 creates appraisal district boards of directors
comprising nine members. Five members are appointed by taxing units in the district, three are
elected in the general election, and the county tax assessor-collector serves as an ex officio
member. The article outlines election procedures, changes to the recall process, and effective dates.
The key provisions of the article become effective on July 1, 2024, provided H.J.R. 2 is approved
by voters.
Article 6 - Transitional Tax Year Provisions:
Article 6 mandates chief appraisers to prepare supplemental appraisal records for the 2023 tax year
to account for changes in the law under S.B. 2. Individuals receiving provisional tax bills are
notified of potential changes. The tax assessor is required to mail a supplemental and final tax bill,
and a one-month extension is granted for paying delinquent taxes until December 31, 2024. Article
6 took immediate effect upon passage of S.B. 2.
Note: Since the city has not changed its exemptions relating to property tax since January 1, 2022,
and since the changes in the exemption amounts under S.B. 2 apply to school district tax
impositions, there is no significant change to the city’s calculations for the current year no new
and voter approval tax rates.
Conclusion:
Senate Bill 2 encompasses a comprehensive set of provisions aimed at refining school district
taxation, appraisal limits for all jurisdictions, and appraisal district governance.

SECTION A3.02.AA Section 11.26 , Tax Code, is amended by
amending Subsections (a), (a-10), and (o) and adding Subsections
(a-11) and (a-12) to read as follows:
(a)AA The tax officials shall appraise the property to which
this section applies and calculate taxes as on other property, but
if the tax so calculated exceeds the limitation imposed by this
section, the tax imposed is the amount of the tax as limited by this
section, except as otherwise provided by this section. A school
district may not increase the total annual amount of ad valorem tax
it imposes on the residence homestead of an individual 65 years of
age or older or on the residence homestead of an individual who is
disabled, as defined by Section 11.13 , above the amount of the tax
it imposed in the first tax year in which the individual qualified
that residence homestead for the applicable exemption provided by
Section 11.13 (c) for an individual who is 65 years of age or older
or is disabled. If the individual qualified that residence
homestead for the exemption after the beginning of that first year
and the residence homestead remains eligible for the same exemption
for the next year, and if the school district taxes imposed on the
residence homestead in the next year are less than the amount of
taxes imposed in that first year, a school district may not
subsequently increase the total annual amount of ad valorem taxes
it imposes on the residence homestead above the amount it imposed in
the year immediately following the first year for which the
individual qualified that residence homestead for the same
exemption, except as provided by Subsection (b). [If the first tax
year the individual qualified the residence homestead for the

exemption provided by Section 11.13 (c) for individuals 65 years of
age or older or disabled was a tax year before the 2015 tax year, the
amount of the limitation provided by this section is the amount of
tax the school district imposed for the 2014 tax year less an amount
equal to the amount determined by multiplying $10,000 times the tax
rate of the school district for the 2015 tax year, plus any 2015 tax
attributable to improvements made in 2014, other than improvements
made to comply with governmental regulations or repairs.]
(a-10)AA Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
section, if in the 2024 or a subsequent tax year an individual
qualifies for a limitation on tax increases provided by this
section on the individual ’s residence homestead, the amount of the
limitation provided by this section on the homestead is equal to the
amount computed by:
(1)AA multiplying the taxable value of the homestead in
the preceding tax year by a tax rate equal to the difference between
the school district ’s maximum compressed rate for the preceding tax
year and the district ’s maximum compressed rate for the current tax
year;
(2)AA subtracting the amount computed under Subdivision
(1) from the amount of tax the district imposed on the homestead in
the preceding tax year; [and]
(3)AA adding any tax imposed in the current tax year
attributable to improvements made in the preceding tax year as
provided by Subsection (b) to the amount computed under Subdivision

tax rate for the current tax year; and
(5)AA subtracting the amount computed under Subdivision
(4) from the amount computed under Subdivision (3).
(a-11)AA This subsection applies only to an individual who in
the 2023 tax year qualifies for a limitation under this section and
for whom the 2022 tax year or an earlier tax year was the first tax
year the individual or the individual ’s spouse qualified for an
exemption under Section 11.13 (c). The amount of the limitation
provided by this section on the residence homestead of an
individual to which this subsection applies for the 2023 tax year is
the amount of the limitation as computed under Subsection (a-5),
(a-6), (a-7), (a-8), or (a-9) of this section, as applicable, less
an amount equal to the product of $60,000 and the tax rate of the
school district for the 2023 tax year. This subsection expires
January 1, 2025.

provided by this section on the residence homestead of an
individual to which this subsection applies for the 2023 tax year is

tax rate of the school district for the 2022 tax year. This
subsection expires January 1, 2025.
(o)AA Notwithstanding Subsections (a)[, (a-3),] and (b), an
improvement to property that would otherwise constitute an
improvement under Subsection (b) is not treated as an improvement
under that subsection if the improvement is a replacement structure
for a structure that was rendered uninhabitable or unusable by a
casualty or by wind or water damage. For purposes of appraising the
property in the tax year in which the structure would have
constituted an improvement under Subsection (b), the replacement
structure is considered to be an improvement under that subsection
only if:
(1)AA the square footage of the replacement structure
exceeds that of the replaced structure as that structure existed
before the casualty or damage occurred; or
(2)AA the exterior of the replacement structure is of
higher quality construction and composition than that of the
replaced structure.
SECTION A3.03.AA Section 46.071 , Education Code, is amended by
amending Subsections (a-1) and (b-1) and adding Subsections (a-2),
(b-2), and (c-2) to read as follows:

subchapter to the extent that state and local revenue used to
service debt eligible under this chapter is less than the state and

to the extent that state and local revenue used to service debt
eligible under this chapter is less than the state and local revenue
that would have been available to the district under this chapter as

debt service is limited to revenue required to service debt
eligible under this chapter as of September 1, 2023, or authorized
by the voters but not yet issued as of September 1, 2023, that later
becomes eligible under this chapter, including refunding of that
debt, subject to Section 46.061 . The limitation imposed by Section
46.034 (a) does not apply for the purpose of determining state aid
under this section.
SECTION A3.04.AA Section 48.2542 , Education Code, is amended
to read as follows:
Sec.A 48.2542.AA ADDITIONAL STATE AID FOR ADJUSTMENT OF

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if a school
district is not fully compensated through state aid or the
calculation of excess local revenue under this chapter based on the
determination of the district ’s taxable value of property under
Subchapter M, Chapter 403 , Government Code, the district is
entitled to additional state aid in the amount necessary to fully
compensate the district for the amount of ad valorem tax revenue
lost due to a reduction of the amount of the limitation on tax
increases provided by Sections 11.26 (a-4), (a-5), (a-6), (a-7),
