Strategic Pillar Icon: Sustainable Government Page 2City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 9/23/2022 MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: Reference: 2040: Mayor and City Council Kim Tiehen, Director of Finance September 27, 2022 Consider approval of two Ordinances amending Chapter 3 ‘City Departments’ Article 3-2 ‘Sewer Department’, by amending Section 3-3-2 ‘Sewer Rates (Monthly)’ by adding winter averaging; and amending Chapter 3 “City Departments”, Article 3-3. “Water And Sewer Regulations”, Section 3-3-2 “Payment of Bills” by amending Subsection 3-3-2(E), to authorize the City Manager or designee to consider adjustment to a customer’s water bill following repair of a leak; and authorizing the Mayor to sign. Sustainable Government Introduction: The purpose of this agenda item is to change the City’s sewer service billing method to winter averaging. The current method is based on water usage with the maximum monthly volume capped at 13,000 gallons. As presented during the September 13, 2022, work session, the Finance Department recommended moving to winter averaging effective April 2023, with no change to the sewer base and volume rates for the first year. Background: Winter averaging is designed for cities that are calculating sewer usage based on water usage. For the City of Coppell, sewer service is not metered, so the amount of sewer flowing into the system is calculated on a one-to-one relationship with water usage. During the summer months, residential consumers have a portion of water usage (i.e., irrigation) that does not flow into the sewer system. Currently, Coppell accounts for this with the 13,000-gallon cap. Winter averaging is a method of establishing a base line for billing sewer by using the winter months of November, December, January, February, and March to determine indoor water usage since outdoor water usage is typically low during these months. Using winter months, when outdoor watering is reduced, provides a more accurate representation of water usage that is going into the sewer system. The calculation methodology would remove the high and low months to determine the average sewer volume charge for the next 12 months. The volume charge for sewer will be added to the base rate for sewer to determine the entire sewer charge for each of the next 12 months beginning in April 2023. Analysis: To establish Winter Averaging, the 13,000-gallon cap on sewer volume that is defined in Chapter 3 Section 2-2 of the Ordinance will be replaced with information concerning winter averaging such as the months used and exclusion of the highest and lowest months. In addition, the basis for billing new customers who do not have an established winter average will be added to Chapter 3 Section 2-2. Specifically, sewer volume for new customers will be based on the city-wide winter average which is approximately 8,300 gallons based on November 2021 through March 2022. A new city-wide average will be determined using November 2022 through March 2023 with the highest and lowest months excluded from the calculation. The city-wide average would only be used until the new customer established a winter average. In addition, a new city-wide average will be calculated annually in April. Finally, wording in Chapter 3 Section 3-2 of the Ordinance regarding leak adjustments will be removed. Any leak that occurs moving forward will not impact the sewer portion of the utility bill since sewer volume is based on historical data. If a leak were to occur, the sewer portion of the utility bill would not increase because the previously established average remains constant for all 12 months regardless of the amount of water used. Staff recommends making no change to the current sewer base and volume rates, so residents can see the impact on the sewer portion of their water bill is directly related to the amount of water they used during the months of November through March. Assuming residential customers do not change their water usage habits during the winter months and based on current sewer rates, approximately 73% of all residential customers will see between no change to a $35 decrease in the sewer portion of their utility bill. Fiscal Impact: Based on no change to current sewer base and volume rates, the anticipated impact on the revenue of the Water Sewer Fund is an estimated decrease in sewer service revenue of between $164,000 to $306,000. The decrease in sewer service revenue is based on a range of no change in water usage up to a 30% reduction in water usage. The Water Sewer Fund has sufficient undesignated retained earnings over the required 180 days to absorb the estimated decrease in sewer service revenue. Annually, staff reviews rates and provides recommendations to Council concerning rate changes. Legal Review: The City Attorney reviewed this ordinance. Recommendation: The Finance Department recommends approval. COPPELL ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3 MONTHLY WATER RATES PG 1 OF 3 TM131616 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COPPELL, TEXAS ORDINANCE NO.

Introduction: The purpose of this agenda item is to approve a Resolution approving a negotiated settlement between the Atmos cities steering committee (“ACSC”) and Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division. The City, along with 181 other Mid-Texas cities served by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division (“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC”). On or about April 1, 2022, the Company filed a rate request pursuant to the RRM Tariff adopted by ACSC members. The Company claimed that its cost-of-service in a test year ending December 31, 2021, entitled it to additional system-wide revenues of $141.3 million. After reviewing the Company’s request, the ACSC’s consultants concluded that the amount of $115 million is the appropriate settlement amount instead of $141.3 million. The Executive Committee recommends a settlement at $115 million. The Effective Date for new rates is October 1, 2022. ACSC members should take action approving the Resolution before September 30, 2022. The impact of the settlement on average residential rates is an increase of $4.60 on a monthly basis, or 6.7 percent. The increase for average commercial usage will be $14.34 or 4.3 percent. Background: In 2007, ACSC and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate application filed by the Company pursuant to Section 104.301 of the Texas Utilities Code for an interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a GRIP filing (arising out of the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program legislation). That settlement created a substitute rate review process, referred to as Rate Review Mechanism (“RRM”), as a substitute for future filings under the GRIP statute. Since that time, there have been several modifications to the original RRM Tariff. The most recent iteration of an RRM Tariff was reflected in an ordinance adopted by ACSC members in 2018. 2 The Legislature’s GRIP process allowed gas utilities to receive annual rate increases associated with capital investments. The RRM process has proven to result in a more efficient and less costly (both from a consumer rate impact perspective and from a ratemaking perspective) than the GRIP process. Given Atmos Mid-Tex’s claim that its historic cost of service should entitle it to recover $141.3 million in additional system-wide revenues, the RRM settlement at $115 million for ACSC Cities reflects substantial savings to ACSC Cities. Settlement at $115 million is fair and reasonable. Legal Review: The agenda item was submitted by Thomas Brocato, Attorney with Lloyd Gosselink Rochelle & Townsend, P.C. with review by Bob Hager. Fiscal Impact: None. Recommendation: Approval recommended. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COPPELL, TEXAS, APPROVING A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT BETWEEN THE ATMOS CITIES STEERING COMMITTEE (“ACSC”) AND ATMOS ENERGY CORP., MID-TEX DIVISION REGARDING THE COMPANY’S 2022 RATE REVIEW MECHANISM FILING; DECLARING EXISTING RATES TO BE UNREASONABLE; ADOPTING TARIFFS THAT REFLECT RATE ADJUSTMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THE NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT; FINDING THE RATES TO BE SET BY THE ATTACHED SETTLEMENT TARIFFS TO BE JUST AND REASONABLE AND IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST; APPROVING AN ATTACHMENT ESTABLISHING A BENCHMARK FOR PENSIONS AND RETIREE MEDICAL BENEFITS; REQUIRING THE COMPANY TO REIMBURSE ACSC’S REASONABLE RATEMAKING EXPENSES; DETERMINING THAT THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT; ADOPTING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND REQUIRING DELIVERY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE COMPANY AND THE ACSC’S LEGAL COUNSEL.

That the findings set forth in this Resolution are hereby in all things approved. Section 2. That, without prejudice to future litigation of any issue identified by ACSC, the City Council finds that the settled amount of an increase in revenues of $115 million on a system-wide basis represents a comprehensive settlement of gas utility rate issues affecting the rates, operations, and services offered by Atmos Mid-Tex within the municipal limits arising from Atmos Mid-Tex’s 2022 RRM filing, is in the public interest, and is consistent with the City’s authority under Section 103.001 of the Texas Utilities Code. Section 3. That despite finding Atmos Mid-Tex’s plant-in-service to be reasonable, ACSC is not foreclosed in future cases from evaluating the reasonableness of costs associated with incidents involving leaks of natural gas. Section 4. That the existing rates for natural gas service provided by Atmos Mid-Tex are unreasonable. The new tariffs attached hereto and incorporated herein as Attachment 1, are just and reasonable, and are designed to allow Atmos Mid-Tex to recover annually an additional $115 on a system-wide basis, over the amount allowed under currently approved rates. Such tariffs are hereby adopted. Section 5. That the ratemaking treatment for pensions and retiree medical benefits in Atmos Mid-Tex’s next RRM filing shall be as set forth on Attachment 2, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Section 6.

Strategic Pillar Icon: Sustainable Government Page 1City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 9/23/2022 Master Continued (2022-6536) Page 2City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 9/23/2022 1 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Matia Messemer, Director of Employee Experience Date: September 27, 2022 Reference: Approval of the Purchase of Medical Stop Loss Insurance 2040: Sustainable Government Introduction: The purpose of this agenda item is to renew the City's Stop Loss Insurance coverage. The City’s current health plan expenses performed well when compared to the previous year. This claims experience contributed to a favorable renewal offer with a 3.12% increase, which is below the market average increase of 15% to 20%. The City’s insurance committee is recommending the renewal of stop loss insurance to Liberty Mutual Insurance company. Analysis: The City’s medical plan is self-insured plan, meaning that all claims incurred by employees and dependents are paid directly from the City’s Medical Self-Insured Fund. Self-funded employers benefit by avoiding certain mandated benefits, fully insured taxes, and experience improved cash flow which saves the plan in costs vs. being fully insured. The purchase of medical stop loss insurance protects the City’s fund from paying catastrophic claims over a certain amount to better manage volatility from large claims which effects overall increases to the group overall, which is common for self-funded employers. However, the Stop Loss Coverage, which is a fixed cost, is a very volatile annual expense that is determined based on extraordinary, unexpected Large Claims that are difficult to project. This is the case for most large, self-funded employers. The typical expected annual increase for this insurance coverage is +15% to +20% annually. The FY23 budget estimated a 20% increase. The expected annual premium for this coverage is $386,272 based on current headcount. The City opted to pursue renewal at the same stop loss insurance levels as the current year. The incremental premium savings of changing the level would not be worth the additional claims cost risk. Liberty Insurance offer does not include lasers for the proposed plan year. 2 Legal Review: The Holmes Murphy compliance/legal team has reviewed the attached documents. Fiscal Impact: The cost of the medical stop loss insurance is budgeted in the City’s Medical Self Insurance Fund. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the renewal of medical stop loss insurance from Liberty Mutual Insurance company.

This will be the 16th year for the City of Coppell to retain UMR to administer Medical and Prescription Drug (Rx) plans, and the City has been served well by the discounts in claims costs afforded by the long-term customer relationship and access to their PPO network. The renewal will be completed by amending the existing Administrative Services Agreement. There are no changes to the scope of services or cost. Analysis: The estimated annual administrative fees for this contract year with UMR are $186,500 based on 344 covered employees which equals a 0% increase over the current year. UMR administrative services include medical, health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), claims processing, utilization review, ID card generation, internet-based web portal for employees to access claims utilization, and run-out claims administration. UMR also provides an option for their ACO/Limited network option which will not apply for the new plan year since the City intends to offer the most comprehensive PPO network that is currently offered. The City’s Medical plan is a self-insurance plan where all medical claims are processed and adjudicated on behalf of the City’s plan through a third-party administrator. The consequences on not approving this proposal would result in the City either going back to the market for these services or finding a fully insured carrier to cover the City’s workforce and abandoning the self-insurance funding method. 2 Legal Review: This renewal proposal will be an addendum to the main agreement. The Holmes Murphy compliance/legal team has reviewed the documents. Fiscal Impact: The cost is budgeted in the City’s Medical Self Insurance Fund. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the UMR renewal proposal as outlined above. Master City of Coppell, Texas 255 E.

Sustainable Government Introduction: The purpose of this agenda item is renewal of the attached proposal for Organ transplant coverage from Tokio Marine HCC in the amount of $71,012 (+0% increase over current year’s cost). There is no change to the summary of coverage. This proposal is for a fully insured policy to cover claims for organ transplants. Analysis: With few exceptions, most organ transplantation procedures are expensive and because of their high cost, the City of Coppell decided several years ago to carve out the transplant procedure from its self-insurance plan and purchase a fully insured plan as a separate policy. This decision helps protect the City’s health plan from a catastrophic transplant claim while insuring the affected employee gets the treatment needed from a designated center of excellence for a set annual fee. If the City chooses not to purchase this fully insured product, all potential organ transplant claims would be paid out of the Self-Insurance Fund, the fund would be at great risk of potentially one or more catastrophic claims. Legal Review: The Holmes Murphy compliance/legal team has reviewed the attached renewal proposal document. Fiscal Impact: These costs have been budgeted in the City’s Medical Self-Insurance Fund. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the transplant renewal proposal as outlined above. Master City of Coppell, Texas 255 E.

Sustainable Government Introduction: This budget amendment is being brought forward to reflect closing of encumbrance carryovers from the prior fiscal year and some items that have been brought before Council during the current fiscal year. Analysis: General Fund General Fund Revenues are being increased $9,722,159. The primary reason for the increase is sales tax ($8.6 million). Actual sales tax received is higher-than-expected plus sales tax set aside in a separate holding fund is being moved to this fund. The sales tax was set aside based on Rule 3.334. In addition, the transfer from CRDC that is based on sales tax ($659,000) and electric franchise fee ($450,000) revenue are being increased based on actual results. General Fund expenditures are being decreased $101,238 for the reduction in encumbrance carryovers. Encumbrance carryovers are those items that were budgeted and purchased in the previous fiscal year but were not received by year end. The amounts are then carried forward into the next fiscal year. After all invoices have been paid against a purchase order (PO) carried over from a prior year, the PO is closed, and the remaining PO balance is removed from the budget. In addition, Community Information Ooffice division expenditures are being decreased by the amount budgeted for Public, Education, and Government (PEG) channel items. The budget is being moved to the PEG Special Revenue Fund. 2 Grant Fund #2 Expenditures are being amended for costs associated with the Coppell Fire Department’s Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS) Deployment. Request for reimbursement has been submitted to the Texas A&M Forest Service. Revenues will be amended upon receipt of the reimbursement. ARPA Grant Fund Revenues are being amended to recognize the amount earned to date. Expenditures are being amended for the senior water bill credit, Bethel Road rehabilitation project (authorized by Council July 26, 2022), fire station rehabilitation project (authorized by Council August 9, 2022), and the business rent assistance grants paid to date (authorized by Council April 26, 2022), Rolling Oaks Memorial Cemetery Revenues are being increased based on additional burial sales. Expenditures are being amended for increase in graveside services expenditures which is directly related to the increase in burial sales. Donations Special Revenue Fund Revenues are being amended for a grant and a donation received by the Library. Expenditures are being amended for the purchase of library media in accordance with requirements of the grant and donation. CRDC - Special Revenue CRDC revenues are being increased $4,686,952 which is the result of higher-than-expected sales tax and moving to this fund a portion of the amount set aside in a separate holding fund based on Rule 3.334. Expenditures are being decreased for closed encumbrance carryovers and increased for the additional transfer to the General Fund which is based on sales tax received by this fund. Police Special Revenue Fund Expenditures are being decreased for closed encumbrance carryovers. Crime Control Prevention Fund Crime Control revenues are being increased $2,141,825 which is the result of higher-than-expected sales tax and moving to this fund a portion of the amount set aside in a separate holding fund based on Rule 3.334. Expenditures are being decreased for closed encumbrance carryovers. Child Safety Fund Revenues are being increased to reflect actual received. Red Light Fund Expenditures are being decreased for closed encumbrance carryovers. PEG Fund This fund was established to track revenue from PEG franchise fees and allowable expenditures. Revenues were amended in July to reflect the movement from the General Fund to this fund. This final amendment is to move the budget for PEG expenditures to this fund from the General Fund. 3 Sales Tax Holding Fund This fund was established to set aside sales tax that may be subject to claw back if Rule 3.334 goes into effect with a retro-active date of October 1, 2021. It has been determined that this is not necessary. Therefore, each of the four funds that receive sales tax are being amended to increase the budgeted sales tax revenue of those funds and this fund will be closed. Infrastructure Maintenance Fund IMF revenues are being increased $2,198,218 which is the result of higher-than-expected sales tax received by the City and moving to this fund a portion of the amount set aside in a separate holding fund based on Rule 3.334.
