Virginia Rutledge, Director of Finance, told Council that they should consider all the possibilities the money from the Brown and Root settlement can be used for. She said if the City stays in the STNP we will need de-commission costs. At this time we have no bonds for this so the Brown and Root money could be funds for these costs. Ms. Rutledge said the de-commission costs will be in the $20,000,000 She said the amount of the settlement is $120-million. range. Rutledge said the money can be used for capital projects of the electric system in lieu of bonds. Ms. Rutledge said she also suggests some funds for conservation in a one to two year plan and this should be considered in budget discussions. Ms. Chuck Hempstead, representing Austin Board of Realtors, suggested $60-million of the funds be used for energy conservation programs. ! Council Memo 11 7/16/87 Mayor Cooksey asked if the money can be used to reduce rate increases.

Motion Councilmember Nofziger made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Carl-Mitchell to approve the Resource Management Commission recommendation to allow the department to use $60,000,000 of the Brown and Root settlement monies. Discussion followed and Mayor Cooksey offered the following friendly amendment, which was accepted.

Motion - Restated Councilmember Nofziger made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Humphrey to approve the use by the Resource Management Department of $30,000,000.00 that we currently have in the fund and then according to a schedule to be worked out with Miss Rutledge and the Resource Management Department, to transfer other funds as they become available for a total of $60,000,000.00. Friendly Amendment Councilmember Carl-Mitchell offered a friendly amendment from the Electric Utility Commission's recommendation, "if we get the conservation bonds, we can issue them constitutionally and replenish the funds through those bond proceeds." Ms. Rutledge said there is a problem with that. "If you got to start issuing the bonds you could remove the other funds from Brown and Root but I do not believe you could use bond funds to pay back something else that would be used for another purpose. You get into some use restrictions." Councilmember Carl-Mitchell said staff should investigate to see whether the funds can be replenished. Ms. Rutledge said, "You could always substitute the bonds for that which you have not expended, I think that is what you could legally do." Councilmember Carl-Mitchell said, "I'll add that as an amendment if it is accepted." Councilmember Nofziger accepted the friendly amendment. Friendly Amendment Mayor Cooksey offered a friendly amendment for a provision that i Council Memo 12 7/16/87 these funds will be expended according to budgeted amounts set aside in the budget of the department on a yearly basis.
