Council Meeting: May 14, 2014 Staff Contact: Maurice Schwanke
Account Code #: N/A Date Prepared: OS/07/14
Budgeted Amount: N/A Exhibits: Yes ❑ No
AGENDA SUBJECT: a) Public Hearing: To consider public comments on a request by
Bloomfield Homes, owner of property, requesting an Exception to the Residential
Architectural Standards by the approval of a Specific Use Permit from Section 35.04 (c)
of the Anna Zoning Ordinance which sets the distance from front elevation to the garage
front to a maximum distance of 10' to a requested distance of 13' on Bloomfield
Bluebonnet Home model. The parcels are location in portions of West Crossing Phases
1, 2, 3 and future sections of West Crossing subdivision and part of Willow Creels
Addition. The property is currently zoned as Planned Development Single Family
Residential.
(b) Consider/Discuss/Action regarding the request of a Specific Use Permit to allow the
distance from front elevation to the garage front to a maximum distance of 13 on
Bloomfield Bluebonnet Home Model on parcels located in portions of West Crossing
Phases 1,2,3 and future sections of West Crossing subdivision and part of Willow Creek
Addition.
SUMMARY: In October of 2012 the City Council passed an ordinance concerning
residential building standards. One of the provisions goals was to eliminate snoot/garage
construction where the garage sticks out 15' to 20' in front of the remainder of the
structure so that when you drive by all you saw was the garage. Bloomfield homes has a
home model called "Bluebonnet" which front elevation sets back 3 feet further than the
10 foot allowed. The front of the building is covered by an integrated front porch that
serves as an outdoor living area and does not give the appearance that the garage is the
dominant element on the lot. The areas in the request are areas that the Bluebonnet model
could be used, however, the units cannot be placed side by side or across the street from
each other but must be used within the parameters of the existing non repetitive
standards. Therefore, the staff is recommending approval of this Specific Use Permit
PLANNING AND ZONING ACTION: The Planning and Zoning recommended
approval of the proposed ordinance at their meeting on April 7th, 2014 meeting. The
vote was unanimous.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approval of Ordinance
Please publish the attached in the legal section of the newspaper at the
earliest possible date. Please send tear sheet, publisher's affidavit, and bill
to the City of Anna.

AGENDA SUBJECT: Briefing/Discussion regarding changing the names of certain
streets in North Pointe Crossing.
SUMMARY: The goal of any addressing system is geared toward public safety to be
usable and understandable to everyone. When an agency is responding to a 9-1-1 call for
assistance, being able to locate an address is critical. Another important issue is ensuring
that mail is delivered to the correct address.
The street names in the Northpointe Crossing North subdivision were assigned in year
2000 by the developer. There have been concerns/complaints expressed by citizens of
Anna regarding streets North Belford Circle and South Belford Circle, North Carlyle
Circle and South Carlyle Circle having the same street names and numbering.
This item is open for discussion on the possibility of changing two of the street names in
order to better serve the community and to eliminate confusion now and in the future.

Budgeted Amount: $7 500` Exhibits: Q Yes ❑ No
AGENDA SUBJECT: Consider/Discuss/Action regarding a Resolution authorizing
approval of a benefits consulting agreement with Wellspring Human Capital.
SUMMARY: City staff have been engaged in reviewing compensation and benefits
offered to City employees to ensure that we are well placed in the market and that we are
able to recruit and retain skilled and talented employees.
Staff has been working with Wellspring Human Capital to review our wage and
classification plan and began a discussion about the health benefits the City offers. Staff
knows that dependent coverage benefits offered by the City can be cost prohibitive to
many City employees. Additionally, the employee coverage is also expensive and show
signs of continuing to increase.
In order to solicit and analyze potential health plans the City may consider, staff
determined the need to engage a consultant to manage the process. Given the current
regulatory environment around health insurance and requirements of the Affordable Care
Act a consultant specializing in health benefits is critical in evaluating our current plan
and any potential plans the City may offer.
The proposed contract would engage Wellspring Human Capital to review our current
health benefits and issue an RFP to determine if more cost effective plans are available to
the City. This does not rule out continuing to use TML under the same benefits plan or
moving to an alternate plan offered by TML.
Wellspring will assist in the enrollment process, provide assistance on claims issues, and
shepherd employees through any potential changes in plans or coverage. Additionally,
Wellspring will offer support to employee's dependents looking to purchase health
coverage outside of the City's plan.
Item No. 14
City Secretary's use only
To effect this change Wellspring will support in the creation of an employee benefits
advisory committee. This will help Wellspring understand employee's views of the
current plan and potential challenges when changing plans. This committee will assist in
the review and evaluation of responses to the RFP. Through this process, employees will
help develop a greater understanding of the City's cost to provide health benefits and a
better understanding of the plan(s) to be offered.
Under the proposed contract, the City will pay a monthly fee for the consulting and
support services offered by Wellspring through the end of FY 14. Once our plan renews
on Oct. 1, the fees are dependent upon the number of employees in the benefits pool at
open enrollment. If the City has 50 employees or less, the insurance rates have a built-in
commission that will be paid to Wellspring; therefore, the City will no longer pay a
monthly fee. However, if the employee benefits pool exceeds 50, the City has the option
to continue to pay the monthly fee or allow Wellspring to be compensated by the
commission from the health insurance company.
In order to fund this service through the remainder of FY 14, the resolution does include
the use of $7,500 of the contingency appropriation. If authorized, the contingency
appropriation will have a balance of over $85,000, or just over 69% remaining.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to
execute an agreement with Wellspring Human Capital for benefits consulting services.

AGENDA SUBJECT: Consider/Discuss/Action regarding a Resolution denying the rate
increase requested by Atmos Energy Corp., Mid -Tex Division under the company's 2014
annual rate review mechanism filing in all cities exercising original jurisdiction. (Jessica
Perkins)
SUMMARY: The City, along with approximately 164 other cities se>ved by Atmos
Energy Mid -Tex Division ("Atmos Mid -Tex" or "Company"), is a member of the Atmos
Cities Steering Committee ("ACSC"). On or about February 28, 2014, Atmos Mid -Tex
filed with the City an application to increase natural gas rates pursuant to the Rate
Review Mechanism ("RRM") tariff renewed by the City in 2013 as a continuation and
refinement of the previous RRM rate review process. This is the second annual RRM
filing under the renewed RRM tariff.
The Atmos Mid -Tex RRM filing sought a $45.7 million rate increase system -wide
based on an alleged test -year cost of service revenue deficiency of $49 million. Of the
total amount requested, almost $37 million is attributable to the affected cities. The City
worked with ACSC to analyze the schedules and evidence offered by Atmos Mid -Tex to
support its request to increase rates. Although a good faith attempt was made by ACSC
to reach a compromise with Atmos Mid -Tex, an agreement was not reached. In the
absence of an agreement, the ACSC Executive Committee and ACSC's legal counsel
have recommended that ACSC members adopt the attached Resolution denying the rate
increase request.
The RRM tariff was adopted by the City as an alternative to the Gas Reliability
Infiastructure Program ("GRIP"), the statutory provision that allows Atmos to bypass the
City's rate regulatory authority to increase its rates annually to recover capital
investments. In past years, cities have been able to reach a compromise with Atmos to
reduce the rate impact from the requested RRM increases, and these compromises have
also been lower than the rates that Atmos would have been entitled to under the GRIP
filing. In this case, the Company would have been entitled to an increase from GRIP of
no more than $31.5 million. The magnitude of the requested increase under the 2014
RRM filing, and the wide differences between it and the ACSC consultants'
recommendations made a compromise much more difficult and ultimately impossible.
The Company demanded more than it would be entitled to if it had filed a GRIP case.
Item No. 15
City Secretary's use only
For this reason, the ACSC Executive Committee and ACSC legal counsel recommend
that all ACSC Cities adopt the Resolution denying the requested rate change.
RRM Background:
The RRM tariff was originally approved by ACSC es as part of the settlement
agreement to resolve the Atmos Mid -Tex 2007 system -wide rate filing at the Railroad
Commission. In early 2013, the City adopted a renewed RRM tariff for an additional five
years. This is the second RRM filing under the renewed tariff. This filing was made by
agreement less than one year after the first filing in order for the RRM rate -setting
process to hereafter use a calendar year as the test period.
The RRM tariff and the process implementing that tariff were created
collaboratively by ACSC and Atmos Mid -Tex as an alternative to the legislatively -
authorized GRIP surcharge process. ACSC has opposed GRIP because it constitutes
piecemeal ratemaking, does not allow any review of the reasonableness of Atmos'
expenditures, and does not allow participation by cities or recovery of cities' rate case
expenses. In contrast, the RRM process has allowed for a more comprehensive rate
review and annual adjustment as a substitute for GRIP filings. ACSC's consultants have
calculated that had Atmos filed under the GRIP provisions, it would have received
additional revenues from ratepayers of approximately $31.5 million.
Purpose of the Resolution:
Rates cannot change without the adoption of rate ordinances by cities. No related
matter is pending at the Railroad Commission. The purpose of the Resolution is to deny
the rate increase requested by Atmos. Under the RRM tariff, Atmos may appeal the rate
decision of the cities to the Railroad Commission; such appeal must be filed within thirty
(30) days of the City action.
The RRM tariff also allows Atmos to implement its requested rates effective June
1 while any appeal at the Commission is pending, subject to refunds based upon the
outcome of the appeal. This would represent a monthly increase of approximately $2.02
for the average residential customer, subject to any refund if the Commission reduces the
rates implemented by Atmos. The actual impact will be slightly less than $2.02 for most
residential customers because the Company has indicated it will not appeal and thus
concedes several of the issues raised by Cities. The Resolution also authorizes the City to
participate as a party to the appeal in conjunction with the ACSC, and requires the
Company to reimburse the City for its rate case expenses associated with the City's
review of the RRM filing, and with the appeal of the City's denial of the rate increase.
Rate Impact of Appeal by Atmos Effective June 1:
The RRM tariff constrains the annual increase in the residential customer charge
to no more than $0.50. The current $17.70 customer charge will be increased to $18.22
per month with the addition of an energy conservation program surcharge of $0.02. The
current $17.70 customer charge for unincorporated area customers will become $20.32
per month because all of the increase associated with a GRIP filing, which is applicable
Item No. 15
City Secretary's use only
to all customers not covered by a RRM tariff, is placed on the customer charge.
However, the commodity charge for unincorporated residential service will be less than
one-half of the commodity charge for residents of incorporated areas—$0.04172 per Ccf
vs. $0.08998 per Ccf.
A comparison of rates and rate impact of what Atmos initially proposed in its
UM filing is reflected in the following chart:

However, Atmos has indicated that it will not appeal all issues raised by Cities
and thus the impact should be slightly less than what is reflected in the above chart. A
precise impact statement cannot be presented until after the Company's appeal is filed.
Reasons Justifyin;? Approval of the Resolution:
Consultants working on behalf of ACSC Cities have investigated the Company's
requested rate increase. While the evidence does not support the $45.7 million increase
requested by the Company, ACSC's consultants agree that the Company can justify an
increase in revenues of a much lesser amountnamely, an increase of only $19 million.
The Executive Committee authorized a settlement value considerably above the
consultants' recommendation but it was insufficient to meet the Company's expectation.
The Company and ACSC Cities were too far apart in their positions to reach a
compromise, and rather than granting a partial increase that the Company will not accept,
the option remaining is to deny the rate increase request in its entirety, and participate in
the Company's appeal of this decision at the Railroad Commission.
Explanation of "Be It Resolved" Paragraphs:
1. This paragraph approves all findings in the Resolution.
2. This section denies the requested rate increase, finds the proposed rates to
be unreasonable and not in the public interest, and finds the existing rates to be just and
reasonable.
3. This section requires the Company to reimburse ACSC Cities for
reasonable ratemaking costs associated with reviewing and processing the RRM
application.
4. This section authorizes participation by the City in conjunction with
ACSC in any appeal filed by the Company at the Raih•oad Commission, and authorizes
Item No. 15
City Secretary's use only
ACSC and its counsel to act on behalf of the City. This section also requires the
Company to reimburse ACSC Cities for reasonable ratemaking costs associated with any
appeal filed by the Company to the City's resolution.
5. This section finds that the meeting was conducted in compliance with the
Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551.
6. This section is a savings clause, which provides that if any sections) is
later found to be unconstitutional or invalid, that finding shall not affect, impair, or
invalidate the remaining provisions of this Resolution. This section further directs that
the remaining provisions of the Resolution are to be interpreted as if the offending section
or clause never existed.
7. This paragraph directs that a copy of the signed Resolution be sent to a
representative of the Company and legal counsel for ACSC.
