Title
Board of Public Utilities Discussion Concerning Councilor Request for Gas Rate Sunset
Recommended Action
None
Staff Recommendation

Body
At the September 27th, 2016 Council meeting a pass-through gas rate was adopted by unanimous vote. The rate superseded a previous pass-through rate with a sunset clause. The new rate did not have a sunset provision. The new rate was under the sunset deadline (due to expire on 10/1/16), and several councilors felt the deadline of the ordinance request did not leave Council adequate time to discuss the merits of the pass-through rate. These councilors have requested the BPU submit a sunset associated with the pass-through so that Council has an additional opportunity to discuss the pass-through rate.
