D. Mayor’s Pet Spotlight – Rosie is a young American Pit Bull Terrier, just shy of her first
birthday at 10 months old. She has been in the shelter since Dec. 27, 2024, and staff are eager to help find her a loving home. Rosie is housebroken and leash trained, making her an easy addition to any household. She will thrive in a household where she is the only pet. She has a playful spirit and loves toys. Her food motivation makes her responsive to
training and eager to learn new tricks. Rosie is highly social with people and thrives on
human interaction, doing best in a home where she can receive plenty of attention. The shelter environment is not ideal for Rosie; she needs a home where she can relax and be herself. Rosie has a lot of love to give and would make an excellent companion for the right person or
family.

April 4, 2025 Report No. 2025-038
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Sale of Transmission System Assets by the Texas Municipal Power Agency (“TMPA”) to the City of Bryan, Texas. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On March 13, 2025, the TMPA Board of Directors approved Resolution No. 2025-3-4 (attached) approving the sale of certain transmission assets to the City of Bryan, Texas pending approval by
the governing bodies of each member city. In accordance with the 2016 Joint Operating Agreement
between TMPA and the Member Cities, approval of the sale of transmission assets having an aggregate net book value in excess of $500,000 in any fiscal year but must approved by member cities. The proposed assets to be sold have a net book value of $3,238,620. In conjunction with this sale but under separate action not requiring approval from member cities, TMPA will purchase
certain transmission assets from the City of Bryan, Texas have a net book value of $2,260,339 and
also own additional transmission assets valued at $4,786,000 which are under construction. Consideration and approval of this item is schedule for April 14th for the Public Utilities Board and May 6th for the City Council.
DISCUSSION: The City of Bryan owns the Dansby and Bryan East substations. TMPA owns equipment in these substations. The TMPA and Bryan equipment in the Dansby and Bryan East substations have, over
the years, been comingled together to such an extent, that the situation has created operational, maintenance, and regulatory issues for Bryan and TMPA. The Resolution that is proposed for consideration and action would resolve these issues by transferring ownership of the substation equipment to Bryan. The following is a summary of the
terms and conditions of the proposed Asset Purchase Agreement: -Bryan would purchase from TMPA the substation assets for net book value, $3,238,620. -TMPA would reserve the right to construct new transmission lines connecting to the substations.
-TMPA would purchase from Bryan the Gibbons Creek to Greens Prairie 138 kV transmission line for net book value, $251,648. Bryan would reserve and continue to operate its electric distribution system that is built under the transmission line.
-TMPA would purchase from Bryan equipment (consisting mainly of poles) owned by Bryan in the Agency’s Gibbons Creek to Bryan East 138 kV transmission line for net book value, $2,008,691.

April 4, 2025 Report No. 2025-038
-Bryan has initiated a project to reconductor the Gibbons Creek to Greens Prairie 138 kV transmission line (the “Gibbons Creek to Greens Prairie 138 kV Reconductor Project”). TMPA will acquire this Project. At closing, TMPA would reimburse Bryan for actual costs incurred as of
the date of closing. Thereafter, Bryan would continue to construct the Project to completion with the costs of the Project being borne by TMPA. The Resolution appropriates $4,786,000 for this Project. Since the net book value of the transmission assets being sold to Bryan exceed $500,000 in the
aggregate, TMPA is required under the Joint Operating Agreement to obtain approval of this transaction from the four Member Cities. CONCLUSION:
In conjunction with the purchase and ownership of transmission system assets by TMPA from the
City of Bryan, Texas, the value proposition for TMPA is beneficial to the City of Denton. These
transactions add $3,807,719 in additional value to TMPA and since the City’s ownership share is
21.3%, it’ll add an additional $811,044 in value compared to the current transmission system
value. This incremental increase in value will create additional transmission revenue that will be
allocated annually to the City of Denton.
DME staff recommends approval of the sale of transmission system assets by TMPA to the City
of Bryan, Texas.
