HighHigh significance — major decision, large financial impact, or broad community effectThe lone no-action outcome of the session was on El Paso Electric Company's Energy Efficiency Cost Recovery Factor request (file 26-0653) — worth asking staff why no action was taken and what happens next before the PUC. The council's decision to remove the separate Texas Gas Service rate case (file 26-0652) from the agenda, rather than act on it, is also worth follow-up on timing.
