AUTHORIZING CITY PARTICIPATION IN TEXAS PUBLIC UTILITY
COMMISSION DOCKET NO. 7560 AND SELECTION OF LEGAL COUNSEL
AND CONSULTANTS THEREIN.
WHEREAS, on June 24, 1987, Central Power and Light Company filed a
petition with the Texas Public Utility Commission requesting an order allowing
CPL to defer certain costs on the South Texas Nuclear Project Unit No. 1; and
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee for the CPL Service Area Cities
requested the opinion of its attorney, Don Butler, as to the effect of this
filing and was advised that such an order will increase the cost of the nuclear
project, may result in a rate increase, would constitute retroactive and
piecemeal ratemaking, and would unfairly shift the risk of nuclear construction
to ratepayers; and
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee recommended intervention into this
case, Docket 7560, to protect the Cities' interest; and
WHEREAS, authorization for participation does not obligate the City to
any amount of payment.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. The City authorizes its legal counsel to file
participation in its behalf in Docket 7560, Petition of Central Power and Light
Company for Approval of Deferred Accounting Treatment of Certain Costs Related
to the South Texas Nuclear Project Unit No. 1, as a named party along with other
participating cities.
SECTION 2. The City approves the selection by the steering Committee
of Don R. Butler of Austin, Texas, as its attorney, and authorizes the witnesses
and attorneys selected by the Steering Committee to act on behalf of the City to
obtain all information necessary and pertinent, to conduct investigations,
present evidence, make filings in the City's name and advise and represent the
City in Docket 7560, including any appeals from Commission decisions thereon,
all subject to the authorization and direction of the Steering Committee.
SECTION 3. The authority herein may be terminated at any time by
written notice and does not obligate the City for payment of any amount.
