To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the Town of Trophy Club:
In 2006 Oncor Electric Delivery Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with a
group of 108 Steering Committee Cities that included annual payments to those cities.
In addition, Oncor entered into an Agreement to Resolve Outstanding Franchise Issues
("Franchise Settlement Agreement") that included a 5% increase of the 2005 franchise
fee factor for each city over a 4 year period (2006 — 2%, 2007 — 1 %, 2008 — 1 %, 2009 —
1%). The Settlement Agreement and Franchise Settlement Agreement were also
offered to all other cities served by Oncor, and Oncor and your City entered into those
Agreements.
On March 2, 2009, 1 sent you a letter concerning Oncor's annual payment pursuant to
the Settlement Agreement. As I indicated, Oncor's annual payment under Paragraph 4
of the Settlement Agreement is to be pro -rated to the date that new rates take effect. At
that time, I indicated that Oncor estimated that a Final Order would be issued in Oncor's
pending system -wide rate case before the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUC" or
"Commission"), Docket No. 35717, on or about July 15, 2009, and Oncor subsequently
issued a payment to you equal to 7/12 of the annual payment.
Since delivery of that payment, at the request of the PUC Commissioners, Oncor
extended the time for the Commission to enter a Final Order in the pending rate case to
August 31. The Commission's Final Order was issued on August 31, 2009. In
compliance with the Final Order, Oncor filed its Compliance Tariff on September 1, and
Oncor's new rates will take effect on or about 20 days from that filing pursuant to
Ordering Paragraph 5 of the Commission's Final Order.
When the revised Tariffs become effective, Oncor will calculate the final settlement
payment amount to cover the time between August 1, 2009 and the effective date of the
Tariffs and will make a payment to each city as soon after the Tariff effective date as
possible. No action is required by your City. If you are currently set up to receive your
payments by EDI, this payment will be made electronically. If not, a check will be
delivered as soon after the Tariff effective date as possible.
In addition, the Commission's Final Order in Docket No. 35717 disallowed the 5%
franchise fee factor increase contained in the Franchise Settlement Agreement.
Consistent with Paragraph 4 of the Franchise Settlement Agreement, your City's
franchise fee factor will revert back to the 2005 franchise fee factor that was in effect
prior to that Agreement. This change will be effective on all franchise fees paid on or
after October 1, 2009.
This final payment and the adjustment to the franchise fee factor completes the terms of
the Settlement Agreement and Franchise Settlement Agreement with respect to these
payments.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Denco Area 9-1-1 District
