SECTION 1. On January 15, 1999, Texas Utilities Electric Company (hereinafter
referred to as "TU Electric") filed with the Governing Body of this municipality a Statement of
Intent and Application to implement within the corporate limits of this municipality proposed
new rate schedules that provide additional rate options for its customers, which options are
entirely voluntary on the part of the customer, namely its proposed Rate GTU-M - General
Service Time -of -Use -Municipality, proposed Rate RTU1-M - Residential Tune -of -Use
Service -Municipality, and proposed Rate GTUC-M -General Service Time -of -Use Voluntary
Curtailable-Municipality (said three proposed new rate schedules hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "Time -of -Use Rate Schedules").
SECTION 2. The Time -of -Use Rate Schedules are hereby approved, and TU Electric
is authorized to render service and to collect charges as specified in the Time -of -Use Rate
Schedules from its customers electing to receive electric service under said Time of -Use Rate
Schedules within the corporate limits of this municipality until such time as said rate schedules
may be changed, modified, amended or withdrawn with the approval of the Governing Body of
this municipality.
SECTION 3. The Time -of -Use Rate Schedules herein approved shall be effective from
and after the final passage and approval of this Ordinance.
SECTION 4. The filing of said Time -of -Use Rate Schedules shall constitute notice to the
consumers of electricity within this municipality of the availability and application of such
Time -of -Use Rate Schedules.
SECTION 5. TU Electric shall not seek any additional rate or surcharge mechanism to
recover any revenues lost on account of the application of these time -of -use rates, and there shall
be no imputed revenues on account of any reduction in TU Electric's revenues that may result

from the application of these time -of -use rates.
SECTION 6. The rate reductions approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas
in Docket No. 18490 shall be applied to the time -of -use rates approved herein, such that Rider
RRD shall be applicable to Rate RTU1-M, Rider GSRD shall be applied to all customers taking
secondary service under either Rate GTU-M designated as GTU-M-SEC or under Rate GTUC-M
designated as GTUC-M-SEC, and Rider RD shall be applied to all other customers on Rate
GTU-M or Rate GTUC-M.
SECTION 7. In its next general base rate case in which the time -of -use rates herein
approved are at issue, TU EIectric will either (a) include all customers taking service under Rate
GTUC or GTUC-M during the test year involved in such base rate case as a separate rate class
in its cost allocation study, or (b) include in its cost allocation study the load and revenue data
applicable to each GTUC or GTUC-M customer taking service under Rate GTUC or GTUC-M
during the test year involved in such base rate case with the load and revenue data of the rate
class applicable to such GTUC or GTUC-M customer immediately prior to such customer's
taking service under Rate GTUC or GTUC-M. In the event, however, that industry restructuring
is mandated by legislative changes prior to the time that TU Electric has another general base
rate case and such legislation authorizes the recovery by TU Electric of any stranded costs from
its various customer classes in accordance with its last approved cost of service study, the
customers then receiving service under the time -of -use rates will be included in the customer
classes reflected in TU Electric's most recent cost of service study as follows:

Rate Class GP, and customers receiving service at secondary distribution voltages
shall be included in Rate Class GS; and

on Rate GTUC-M receiving service at high voltages shall be included in Rate
Class NI (High Voltage), customers on Rate GTUC-M receiving service at
primary distribution voltages shall be included in Rate NI (Primary), and
Customers on Rate GTUC-M receiving service at secondary distribution voltages

municipality under the law to regulate the rates, operations, and services of TU Electric.
