Please take notice that the City Council.of the City of Lubbock, Texas,
sitting as the Regulatory Authority in reference to the Rate Application filed
on or about the 23rd day of November, 1979, in special session on the 20th day
of December, 1979, took the following actions:
1. Passed Resolution No. 372, a certified copy of which is attached
hereto, suspending the operation of the proposed rate schedules filed by South
Plains Electric Cooperative, Inc., for a period of 120 days beyond the date on
which such schedules would otherwise go into effect; and,
2. Passed Resolution No. 373, a certified copy of which is attached
hereto, setting public hearing upon the Rate Application filed by South Plains
Electric Cooperative, Inc., for 2:00 o'clock P.M., on Thursday the 24th day of
January, 1980, in Council Chambers on the second floor of the Municipal Building,
in the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas.
Please take notice of both such actions. In relation to the public hearing
the City Council was informed by the counsel that the date of hearing was set
to conform with the requirements of the Public Utility Regulatory Act of the
State of Texas, but that.due to conflicting scheduling before the Public Utility
Commission a continuance from the hearing date set to a more appropriate date
would probably be subsequently required.
