Receive information from, consult with, deliberate, and provide direction and/or recommendations to the City’s attorneys regarding (i) the City’s participation in the Atmos Texas Municipalities (“ATM”) group, or any other such group, as it relates to the current gas utility Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”) with Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos”) or any such future gas utility rate review procedure with Atmos, (ii) Atmos’ 2017 application under the RRM (“2017 RRM”) seeking a system-wide base-rate increase of $57.4 million, (iii) the City’s options with respect to Atmos’ 2017 RRM, (iv) the status of the current RRM, and (v) how to proceed with respect to Atmos and future applications for gas utility rate increases. A public discussion of these legal matters would conflict with the duty of the City’s attorneys to the City of Denton and the Denton City Council under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of Texas, or would jeopardize the City’s legal position in any administrative proceeding or potential litigation.
