Title
A Resolution Regarding Certain Changes to Colorado Springs Utilities Tariff Natural Gas Rate Schedules
Body
From:
Jerry Forte, P.E., Chief Executive Officer, Colorado Springs Utilities
Summary:
Colorado Springs Utilities seeks approval from the City Council to change its natural gas Contract Service tariff to add a payment schedule applicable to the United States Air Force Academy (Academy) regarding the provision of safe and dependable natural gas and facilities service within the geographic confines of the Academy.
Previous Council Action:
On December 13, 2011 by Resolution No. 233-11, City Council approved a resolution in response to the Academy's request for services to provide natural gas and facilities service within the geographic confines of the Academy.
Background:
The proposed tariff revision adds a payment schedule from the Academy in connection with Colorado Springs Utilities' construction work on new natural gas distribution service within the Academy. The tariff payment was designed to recover the construction cost of work requested by the Academy. The proposed new billing schedule will be more in alignment with the actual work when it is executed. The tariff addition was requested by the Academy and a letter from the Academy in support of the change is attached.
Financial Implications:
The proposed tariff is designed to recover from the Academy the costs of the construction of the new natural gas distribution system. This process will have no detrimental impact for other Colorado Springs Utilities ratepayers.
