Resolution 22-10: suspend Oncor rate increase effective date to allow city review
Resolution No. 22-10 would suspend the August 1, 2022 effective date of Oncor Electric Delivery Company's proposed rate increase so the city can study the request and work with other Oncor-served cities through a Steering Committee to hire legal and consulting help, negotiate with Oncor, and pursue litigation if needed.
Suspending the rate increase gives the city time to challenge or negotiate Oncor's proposed higher electric rates, which could affect residents' utility bills.

Public hearing continued: rezoning ~3.9 acres near Frankford Rd & Waterview Pkwy for 171-unit apartment building
This is a continued public hearing (from June 13, 2022) on a request to rezone roughly 3.9 acres northwest of Frankford Road and Waterview Parkway, south of President George Bush Turnpike. The applicant wants to change the zoning from Planned Development and Technical Office to a Planned Development for the A-950-M Apartment District, with modified development standards and a concept plan for a 5-story apartment building with up to 171 units accommodating 529 beds.
