Recommendation No.20260120-002 Texas Gas Service Franchise — original pdf
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Resource Management Commission Recommendation No. 20260120-002 Recommendation on Texas Gas Service Franchise Introduction The City of Austin (The City) has a 20-year franchise agreement with Texas Gas Service (TGS), which is the company’s license to operate in the city limits. That franchise agreement expires in October of 2026. The renewal of the franchise is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to correct or reform longstanding problems that include high rates, high fuel costs, poorly designed rate structures, poorly performing energy conservation programs, scant funding to assist low-income ratepayers, and lack of progress in shrinking the company’s carbon footprint. 1.0 Selection of Company and Term of Franchise WHEREAS, Texas Gas Service, the fifth consecutive owner of the main private gas utility that has provided service in the city limits of Austin since the 1870s, has never participated in a competitive process to determine if the company offers ratepayers adequate or better service; and WHEREAS, the current term of the franchise is 20 years (a 10-year initial period with a subsequent 10- year automatic renewal with minimal conditions), is too long a time period to lapse without a revised regulatory agreement; and 1.1 High and Inequitable Rates WHEREAS, Texas Gas Service (TGS) residential gas rates have gone up about 108% between 2019 and 2025, which is 79% above inflation; and WHEREAS, Texas Gas Service has proposed three rate increases since 2024; and WHEREAS, these rate increases are largely driven by the cost of capital expansion or improvements of the system, and no city or state regulator has the ability to prevent these expenditures prior to their occurrence; and WHEREAS, TGS does not collect full payment for new infrastructure (known as Contribution in Aid of Construction or Capital Recovery Fees) required for new customers, thus subsidizing new customers while increasing gas bills of existing customers; and WHEREAS, when Austin Energy and Austin Water implemented full capital recovery fees, they experienced rate decreases; and WHEREAS, Austin’s municipal utilities have progressive tiered rates that charge less per unit for less usage, while Texas Gas Service has historically maintained a regressive flat rate, which discourages conservation and adversely affects lower-income ratepayers who typically consume less energy; and 1.2 Low-Income Assistance WHEREAS, TGS currently has no customer assistance program that reduces monthly gas bills for low- income customers; and WHEREAS, TGS only provides minimal funding for emergency bill payments for low-income customers; and WHEREAS, in contrast, Austin Energy …

ATPID Service Plan — original pdf
Version 2 Austin Tourism Public Improvement District (ATPID) DRAFT Service Plan Re vise d : Se p te m b e r 6, 20 23 District Name The name of the district shall be the Austin Tourism Public Improvement District (ATPID or District). District Location The ATPID will be located wholly within the City of Austin, Texas (City), a Texas home rule municipality. The proposed boundaries of the proposed ATPID are as shown on the attached map marked Exhibit “A” and includes hotel properties that may be non-contiguous with one hundred (100) or more rooms within the City of Austin. Purpose of the ATPID The purpose of the ATPID will be to provide funding for special supplemental services relating to increased marketing, sales initiatives and sales incentives to retain and secure existing and new meetings, sporting and other events, and conventions at the Austin Convention Center (ACC) and the Palmer Event Center (PEC), sales incentives to retain and secure additional citywide, transient and group business at individual District hotels, and research to assess the impact of the ATPID marketing and sales initiatives, all with the purpose of increasing the demand for hotel activity within the District. Method of Assessment The ATPID assessment will be levied on hotel properties located within the ATPID with 100 or more rooms ordinarily used for sleeping. The annual assessment rate for all hotel properties within the District shall be two percent (2%) of gross taxable room night rental revenue, which reflects the special benefits accruing to the hotel properties because of the services provided by the ATPID funding. The ATPID assessment shall only apply to hotel room night sales which are subject to local hotel occupancy tax under Texas state law. If a room night rental transaction is exempt from local hotel occupancy tax, it is also exempt from the application of the ATPID assessment. The estimated ten (10) year ATPID service plan is shown in the table below. Revenue growth is estimated at 7.5% or more each year in order to maximize the likelihood the ATPID can Page 1 of 12 access all potential revenues during each fiscal year. It is possible that the actual revenues each year will be less than this projection.
