Chris Bidlack, Senior Attorney, Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) Division,  
presented the 2026 CSU Rate Case Hearing agenda and read the  
Colorado Springs Utilities rate setting standards and the quasi-judicial role  
of City Council. Mr. Bidlack polled Council concerning whether any

2026 rate case Resolution setting natural gas rates within the service  
areas of CSU. He provided an overview of the procedural compliance,  
timeline, 2025 rate case filing, Distribution Integrity Management Program  
(DIMP) Acceleration background, DIMP Acceleration Plan, cost recovery,  
Natural Gas Integrity Federal Compliance Charge, sample bill impacts,  
Front Range bill comparison, customer outreach, and customer assistance.  
Natalie Lovell, City Auditor, stated they had no concerns around the  
methodology, or the accuracy of the rate case.  
Councilmember Henjum requested that the reason for this rate increase be  
explained in this public hearing given that they voted for a decrease related  
to gas in their last City Council meeting and that the differences can be  
confusing. Travas Deal, Chief Executive Officer, stated gas distribution is a  
commodity which has volatility to cause unsafe conditions and Federal  
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulation is requiring them to  
replace the bare steel pipes which corrodes underground with plastic.  
Mr. Bidlack polled City Council regarding whether Utilities should establish  
the Natural Gas Integrity Federal Compliance Charge in the Natural Gas  
rate Schedule to recover accelerated Distribution Integrity Management  
Program costs as proposed. Consensus of Council agreed to the issue for  
decision.
