36. Regular Meeting January 18, 2005 Page 8 amendment will eliminate any mention of a supplemental service agreement and special contract as referenced in the COGEN rate. He stated the City had entered into a contract with Texas State University for a flat rate and a kilowatt-per-hour rate, which ended and was not renewed. He stated the University will now be a customer and pay a flat rate plus a kilowatt charge. Mr. Thomaides inquired which classification the University is classified in. Mr. O'Leary stated the City created a new classification, which is like the contract the City had with the University. Mr. Thomaides inquired whether the University was getting a better kilowatt- hour rate than other San Marcos citizens. Mr. O'Leary stated the University is a large customer, which uses a significant amount of electricity and the cost would be more to service than a residential area, so their overall rate is a little lower. He also stated the City has to take a competitive position with the University as a customer, since they have other electrical options. He stated the University could increase their generation capacity on site and do more electric production themselves, or the State Legislature could give the University the right to buy from an open market. The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the Ordinance on third and final reading.
