WHEREAS, the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation (“City“) is a
gas utility customer of Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex“ Ol
“Company“), and a regulatory authority with an interest in the rates, charges, and services of
Atmos Mid-Tex; and
WHEREAS, the City is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC“), a
coalition of similarly-situated cities served by Atmos Mid-Tex (“ACSC Cities“) that have joined
together to facilitate the review of, and response to, natural gas issues affecting rates charged in
the Atmos Mid-Tex service area; and
WHEREAS, ACSC and the Company worked collaboratively to develop a Rate Review
Mechanism (“RRM“) tariff that allows for an expedited rate review process by ACSC Cities as a
substitute to the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (“GRIP“) process instituted by the
Legislature, and that will establish rates for the ACSC Cities based on the system-wide cost of
serving the Atmos Mid-Tex Division; and
WHEREAS, the current RRM tariff was adopted by the City in a rate ordinance in
2018; and
WHEREAS, on about March 3 1, 2020, Atmos Mid-Tex filed its 2020 RRM rate request
with ACSC Cities based on a test year ending December 3 1, 2019; and
WIIEREAS, ACSC coordinated its review of the Atmos Mid-Tex 2020 RRM filing
through its Executive Committee, assisted by ACSC’s attorneys and consultants, to resolve issues
identified in the Company’s RRM filing; and
WIIEREAS, the Executive Committee, as well as ACSC-s counsel and consultants,
recommend that ACSC Cities approve an increase in base rates for Atmos Mid-Tex of 890 million
applicable to ACSC Cities with an Effective Date of December 1. 2020; and
Wl-IEREAS. ACSC agrees that Atmos plant-in-service is reasonable; and
WHEREAS, with the exception of approved plant-in-service, ACSC is not foreclosed from
future reasonableness evaluation of costs associated with incidents related to gas leaks; and
WHEREAS, the two month delayed Effective Date from October 1 to December 1 will
save ACSC ratepayers approximately $9 million off new rates imposed by the attached tariffs
(Exhibit A), the impact on ratepayers should approximate the reasonable value of the rate filing
found by the ACSC Consultants’ Report, which was $81 million; and
WHEREAS, the attached tariffs (Exhibit A) implementing new rates are consistent with
the recommendation of the ACSC Executive Committee, are agreed to by the Company, and are
just, reasonable, and in the public interest; and
WHEREAS, the settlement agreement sets a new benchmark for pensions and retiree
medical benefits (Exhibit B); and
WHEREAS, the settlement agreement establishes an amortization schedule for regulatory
liability prepared by Atmos Mid-Tex (Exhibit C); and
WHEREAS, the RRM Tariff contemplates reimbursement of ACSC's reasonable expenses
associated with RRM applications;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DENTON. TEXAS :
Section 1. That the findings set forth in this Resolution are hereby in all things approved
Section 2. That, without prejudice to future litigation of any issue identified by ACSC,
the City Council finds that the settled amount of an increase in revenues of $90 million for ACSC
Cities represents a comprehensive settlement of gas utility rate issues affecting the rates,
operations9 and services offered by Atmos Mid-Tex within the municipal limits arising from
Atmos Mid-Tex’s 2020 RRM filing, is in the public interest, and is consistent with the City’s
authority under Section 103.001 of the Texas Utilities Code.
Section 3. That despite finding Atmos Mid-Tex’s plant-in-service to be reasonable, ACSC
is not foreclosed in future cases from evaluating the reasonableness of costs associated with
incidents involving leaks of natural gas.
Section 4. That the existing rates for natural gas service provided by Atmos Mid-Tex are
unreasonable. The new tariffs attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, are just and
reasonable, and are designed to allow Atmos Mid-Tex to recover annually an additional $90
9
million from customers in ACSC Cities, over the amount allowed under currently approved rates.
Such tariffs are hereby adopted
Section 5. That the ratcmaking treatment for pensions and retiree medical benefits in
Atmos Mid-Tex’s next RRM filing shall be as set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto and
incorporated herein.

Deferred Income Tax to be refunded to ratepayers, the amortization of regulatory liability shall be
consistent with the schedule found in Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Section 7. That Atmos Mid-Tex shall reimburse the reasonable ratemaking expenses of
the ACSC in processing the Company’s 2020 RRM filing.
Section 8. That to the extent any resolution or ordinance previously adopted by the Council

tariffs to be effective for bills rendered on or after December 1, 2020.
Section 12. That a copy of this Resolution shall be sent to Atmos Mid-Tex, care of Chris
