WHEREAS, Texas Senate Bill 7 ("SB7"), kno~vn as the 1999 Texas Electric Choice Act, promotes
competition in the electric industry by deregulating the electricity generation market and permitting
electric industry providers to compete for customers;
WHEREAS, as a result of SB7, the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUCT') adopted rules
requiring electric industry providers to phase out services identified as "competitive energy services",
including the maintenance of facilities not owned by the electric provider;
WHEREAS, in 1994 the City, with funding from Federal Aviation Administration Grant (Airport
Improvement Project) Number 3-48-0051-19-93 in conjunction with City funding, providing a
combined total of $95,666, purchased one 15 KVA S&C switchgear, one 75 KVA transformer, and
3280 feet of electrical cable to provide an alternate power supply to Corpus Christi International
Airport;
WHEREAS, CP&L, an electric industry provider, was providing maintenance to the 15 KVA
S&C switchgear under a Facilities Maintenance Agreement ("Agreement") and has terminated this
Agreement in compliance with SB7 and applicable PUCT rules;
WHEREAS, the most cost effective manner in which CP&L would continue to provide maintenance
to the 15 KVA S&C switchgear requires the City to sell the Equipment to CP&L in consideration for
payment of $1.00 and the assumption by CP&L of all operation, maintenance, and repair expenses
related thereto.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:

75 KVA transformer, and approximately 3,280 feet of cable ("Equipment") to Central Power & Light
