Summary: Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) continues to be the city of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving. APA! takes animals that have medical and behavioral issues that require a higher cost per animal than the average healthy animal in care. APA! focuses on these animals in an effort to have a measurable effect on the live release rate at AAC. APA! Intakes transferred from AAC: 168 animals were transferred out of AAC to rescue partners in October. 81 of those were transferred to APA!, and another 17 animals were born in APA!’s care to pregnant animals sent from AAC.

Item 4 original pdf

Page 1 of 1 page

Item 4 - Letter to Austin CM and CFO concerning SD28 Dear City Manager Spencer Cronk and Chief Financial Officer Ed Van Eenoo: We recommend that the City of Austin include information about our many programs for Austin citizens and their companion animals, as well as all of Austin’s valuable and iconic wildlife, in the upcoming Strategic Development 28 Plan (SD28). The Animal Advisory Commission, as well as Austin Animal Center leadership and staff, were disappointed when no mention was made of Austin’s many programs for helping Austin’s animals in the last Strategic Development Plan. There is a tremendous amount of hard work done every day of the year for the animals of Austin by Shelter Staff, supported by the hard work of many Austin citizens who volunteer their time and donate their money to help make the lives of Austin’s companion and wild animals better. This extends out to our many Austin governmental organizations, such as APD, and all of our partner non-profits, all of whom contribute to our goal of the best No-Kill Shelter in the world. It is an unfortunate omission that such hard work on such an important City function is lacking from a Strategic Plan for our City. Animals are family to many Austin residents, and to others, Austin’s wildlife is simply a part of home. Let us be more inclusive in the upcoming Austin Strategic Plan! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Recommendation No. 20221114-11A: Austin Energy’s Base Rate Proposal original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 2 pages

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Electric Utility Commission Recommendation No. 20221114-11A Resolution on Austin Energy’s Base Rate Proposal RESOLVED, the Electric Utility Commission urges the Austin City Council to: 1. Apply the rate making policies of gradualism and avoidance of rate shock for each customer class. Gradualism should be applied equally to classes that would receive a revenue (rate) reduction and to classes that would receive a revenue (rate) increase, under the adopted class revenue distribution approach. 2. Maintain the present residential rate structure of inverted block rates that encourage conservation. While reducing the number of tiers from five to four may be considered, as suggested by the Independent Consumer Advocate, any increase in the basic customer service fee should be limited to no more than 20%. A $2 dollar increase in the monthly fee would on its own with no other changes generate approximately $11.4 million in additional revenues for the utility. 3. Apply its understanding of known and measurable changes and weather normalization to the 2021 test year; 4. Line Loss Study: Require Austin Energy to conduct a new System Loss Study (Line Loss Study) to derive both peak demand and energy loss factors by service level (transmission, substation, primary, and secondary) prior to the next base rate case. The peak demand loss factors shall be used to develop the demand allocation factors in the next rate case. The energy loss factors shall be used to develop the energy allocation factors in the next rate case and the voltage adjustment factors in the Power Supply Adjustment. 5. Primary Substation Rate: Require Austin Energy to develop a Primary Substation rate consistent with the analysis in the IHE report and propose it as part of its rate filing package in its next base rate review, at which point it will be subject to review. 6. Transmission Service: Require Austin Energy to provide a pathway for Primary >20 MW HLF customers to purchase the facilities necessary to upgrade to transmission service. Austin Energy shall provide this pathway no later than 1 year after the Council action approving the rates set in this base rate review. 7. Value of Solar Tariffs. Adopt the Austin Energy proposal in the Base Rate Filing Package, with the exception that the Value of Solar Societal Benefits should be collected through the PSA. Cost recovery for the Societal Benefits will be subject to review in Austin Energy’s next base rate …

Page 1 of 4 pages

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Electric Utility Commission Recommendation No. 20221114-11B Resolution on Austin Energy’s Base Rate Proposal RESOLVED, the Electric Utility Commission urges the Austin City Council to: 1. Reject the Austin Energy proposed base rate revenue increase of $35.7 million and the IHE recommendation of $31.3 million increase to Austin Energy’s base rates; 2. Adopt a Revenue Requirement of at least $6.5 million as recommended by the ICA but no more than $15 million, roughly half of the IHE’s proposal; 3. Adopt a Revenue Distribution that would not increase the rates on any customer class more than 7.5%, such as the attached table (WorkPaper H-3.1.1) produced by Austin Energy for the EUC $15 million scenario which limits the rate increase to 7.5% on any customer class. The table is illustrative of a possible cost allocation by rate class with a revenue increase of $15 million limited to a maximum of 7.5 percent, but is not meant to be a specific recommendation from the EUC on cost allocation. 4. Consider adopting the Independent Consumer Advocates proposed residential rate design with the following scope: a. Increase In-City Residential Monthly Customer Charges by no more than 20% or $2, b. Change the current 5 tier structure to 4 tiers as follows: Tier 1 (0 – 500); Tier 2 (501 – 1300); Tier 3 (1301 – 2500); Tier 4 (Over 2500). c. Adopt tier rates similar to that proposed by the ICA, or such as (Tier 1 – 4) those attached in the scenario “WorkPaper H-3.1.1”: 0.03061 per Kwh 0.06200 per Kwh 0.09176 per Kwh 0.11317 per Kwh d. The rates above can be scaled up or scaled down proportionally to achieve the residential target revenue requirement target adjusted for any higher customer charge.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Electric Utility Commission Recommendation No. 20221114-12 Resolution on a Required Update to the Resource Plan WHEREAS, the Electric Utility Commission has been given the important task of reviewing and advising the City Council on progress on the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030; and WHEREAS, the Resource plan approved by City Council in 2020 includes a specific direction that the plan be updated in five years, unless conditions change warranting a need for a new update, stating “Austin Energy will conduct an update of this 2030 Plan in advance of its cost-of-service study in approximately five years from adoption of the 2030 Plan, or sooner if significant changes in technology or market conditions warrant. At the end of 2022 the EUC will decide whether there have been sufficient changes in circumstances that an interim update would be beneficial.”; and WHEREAS, the plan laid out a vision for ending Austin Energy’s use of power from the burning of coal by stating “Austin Energy will maintain its current target to cease operation of Austin Energy’s portion of the Fayette Power Project (FPP) coal plant by year-end 2022. Austin Energy will continue to recommend to the City Council the establishment of any cash reserves necessary to provide for that schedule.”; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy has not been able to meet this deadline of ceasing operation of Austin Energy’s portion of the Fayette Power Plant (FPP); WHEREAS, the 2020 Resource Plan required Austin Energy to conduct a transmission study to look at how to boost the use of storage and renewables both within our load zone and from imported clean energy from outside our load zone and that transmission study is expected to be completed and reviewed by staff by June 2023; and WHEREAS, since the plan was adopted by city council in 2020, other major changes have occurred, including impacts to the electric grid caused by Winter Storm Uri, and major changes implemented by both the Legislature and the Public Utility Commission of Texas which have and could further change our energy-only market and required ancillary services; and WHEREAS, the Public Utility Commission is expected to take further action in early 2023 that could fundamentally change our energy and ancillary services market; and WHEREAS, the cost of natural gas increased by roughly 288 percent between August of 2020 and August of 2022, creating both major expenses for …
