WHEREAS, the City took action in 2008 to approve a Settlement Agreement with Atmos

consultants, recommend that ACSC Cities approve the attached rate tariffs ("Attachment A" to
this Ordinance), which will increase the Company's revenues by $16.6 million; and
WHEREAS, the attached tariffs implementing new rates are consistent with the
negotiated resolution reached by ACSC Cities and are just, reasonable, and in the public interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS:
4166162.1 2
Section 1. That the findings set forth in this Ordinance are hereby in all things approved.
Section 2. That the City Council finds the existing rates for natural gas service provided
by Atmos Mid-Tex are unreasonable and new tariffs which are attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Attachment A, are just and reasonable and are hereby adopted.
Section 3. That Atmos Mid-Tex shall reimburse the reasonable ratemaking expenses of
the ACSC Cities in processing the Company's RRM application.
Section 4. That to the extent any resolution or ordinance previously adopted by the
Council is inconsistent with this Ordinance, it is hereby repealed.
Section 5. That the meeting at which this Ordinance was approved was in all things
conducted in strict compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code,
Chapter 551.

Section 7. That if ACSC determines any rates, revenues, terms and conditions, or
benefits resulting from a Final Order or subsequent negotiated settlement approved in any
proceeding addressing the issues raised in Atmos' 2013 RRM filing would be more beneficial to
the ACSC Cities than the terms of the attached tariffs, then the more favorable rates, revenues,
terms and conditions, or benefits shall additionally and automatically accrue to the ACSC Cities,
including the City, without the need for City to take any further action. If this automatic
adjustment occurs, Atmos Mid-Tex shall promptly thereafter file with the City an amended tariff
documenting the adjustment to rates.
4166162.1 3

rates authorized by attached tariffs to be effective for bills rendered on or after November 1,

EFFECTIVE DATE: Btlb Rendered on or after 11/01/4013
Provisions for Adiustment
The Commodity Charge per Ccf (100 cubic feet) for gas service set forth in any Rabe Schedules utilized
by the does of the Mid-Tex Division service area for determining normalized winter period revenues shall
be adjusted by an amount hereinafter described, which amount is referred th as the "Weather
Normalization Adjustment." The Weather Normalization Adjustment shah apply to all temperature
sensitive residential and commercial bills based on meters read during the revenue months of November
through April. The five regional weather stations are Abilene, Austin, Dallas, Waco, and Wichita Falls.
Comoutation of Weather Normalization Adiustment
The Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor shall be computed to the nearest one-hundredth cent
per Ccf by the following formula:
(HSFI x (NDD-ADD) )
WNAFi = Ri
(BLi + (HSFI x ADD) )
Where
i = any particular Rate Schedule or billing classification within any such
particular Rate Schedule that contains more than one billing classification
WNAFI = Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor for the ith rate schedule or
classification expressed in cents per Ccf
RI = Commodity Charge rate of temperature sensftive sales for the ith schedule or
dassiflcation.
HSFI heat sensitive factor for the ith schedub or classification divided by the
average bill count in that loss
NDD = billing cycle normal heating degree days calculated as the simple ten-year
average of actual heating degree days.
ADD = billing cycle actual heating degree days.
B~ = base load sales for the ith schedule or classification divided by the average
bill count in that class
The Weather Normalization Adjustment for the jth customer in ith rate schedule is computed as:
WNA, = WNAF~ x ql
Where q~ is the relevant sales quantity for the jth customer in ith rate schedule.

September 17, 2013
Action Required -Ordinance Approving First Annual RRM Rate Increase Under the
Renewed RRM Tariff
CONFIDENTIAL/ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION
Only July 1 S, 2013, Atmos Energy Corporation-Mid Tex Division ("Atmos" or "Company")
filed a Rate Review Mechanism ("RRM") application with each of the Atmos Cities Steering
Committee ("ACSC' members. In the filing, Atmos alleges a test year revenue deficiency of $25.7
million on a total company basis. Pursuant to the ordinances passed by cities that renewed the
RRM process that was negotiated following the Railroad Commission's ("RRC") Final Order in the
2012 rate case, Atmos was required to make a downward adjustment of $3 million to its alleged
cost of service revenue deficiency. Thus, Atmos requested $22.7 million in additional revenues.
ACSC consultants filed several discovery requests on the Company and produced a report to
ACSC counsel on August 23, 2013. That report concluded that Atmos was entitled to additional
revenues but significantly less than requested by the Company. After several rounds of negotiations
with Atmos, the Company has agreed that it will accept additional revenues of $16.6 million rather
than the ititially requested $22.7 million. In a conference call Monday morning, September 16,
2013, the ACSC Executive Committee' unanimously approved the compromised revenue
deficiency of $16.6 million. The Executive Committee and legal counsel recommend adoption of
an ordinance and tariffs that will collect that amount of additional revenue over a twelve (12) month
period beginning November 1, 2013.
While the ordinance establishing a new RRM process passed by cities this past summer calls
for an Effective Date of October 15, 2013 for the first RRM under the new process, the Company
has agreed to a two-week extension to provide ACSC cities six weeks to take action. The rate
ordinance provides an Effective Date of November 1, 2013.
Attached to this communication please find the following:
1. The RRM Rate Ordinance (with tariffs designated as Attachment A);
2. A Modei Staff Report in support of the Ordinance; and
' The ACSC Executive Committee includes representatives from Abilene, Arlington, Benbrook, Carrollton,
Collega Station, Colleyville, Denison, Duncanville, Eastland, Farmers Branch, Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Garland,
Grind Prairie, Hahom City, Irving, Kerrville, Killeen, Lewisville, Mesquite, Plano, Sherman, Waco and Waxahachie.
At least I S representatives were on the call.

3. A rate impact analysis (Average Bill Comparison-Base Rates).
None of these attachments are confidential and may be distributed as you choose.
The ~ 16.6 million to be approved by the Ordinance is superior to the 525.7 million system-
wide cost of service revenue deficiency alleged by the Company. The 516.6 million compromise is
significantly better than the 528 million the Company would have received in the rubber-stamp
process review at the RRC, if the Company had chosen to ignore city input by filing a GRIP
application.
Please note that the significant increases in customer charges that occun~ed earlier this year
resulted from a RRC order signed Dxember 4, 2012. None of the 516.6 million increase in this
case will be applied to the residential customer charge pursuant to the agreement with Atmos earlier
this year that led to the RRM renewal.
The Average Bill Comparison-Base Rates demonstrates that the monthly rate impact of the
ordinance and new tariffs on an average residential or commercial customer will be 50.74 (1.75%
increase).
Note that the tariffs include a Conservation and Efficiency (CEE) surcharge that had been
previously approved pursuant to RRC orders. It is not a new item and is not referenced in the
Ordinance or Model Staff Report.
If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to call Geoffrey (512-322-
5875), Georgia (512-322-5832), or Eileen (512-322-5817).
