, FROM THE
Mayor
today didn't it. I had to go home and
get a coat. I really feel sorry for Roy
and his men having to be out in the
heat and cold to fix leaks and things.
They are doing a good job in spite
of the weather.
I had the pleasure of speaking
to the residents of our nursing home
on Sunday morning this week. What
a joy it is to visit with all of them
and they are always so happy to
have, visitors. They have a Sunday
morning devotional and Bible study
and then they always have a church
service in the afternoon. I was so
glad to be able to speak to them and
as usual came away with an uplifted
heart and received much more than
I gave. I saw them on Saturday dur-
ing the parade. They really love our
parades so let’s not ever leave them
out again.
I drove around last night and
looked at all the yards. They are all
really pretty. Some of the citizens
have really done some hard work
outside. If you have not been around
just take a few minutes to drive
around. It will make you feel more
in the spirit of the holiday.
Construction on the new conve-
nience store is progressing nicely.
They cleared that lot in just one day.
I guess it won't be long til it’s open
and Rick and Joan will be back with
their good baibeque. We miss you
Kathy and Twilla re in Austin
this week at an election conference.
I wish I could sit down and talk to
each of you and show you how very
hard we have to work just to keep
the City legal. Seems some of us are
in class all the time and we still are
getting new regulations daily.
I am passing along a message
that was given to me last week. I
thought it very true.
A Strong Woman Versus a
Woman of Strength
A strong woman works out
every day to keep her body in
shape... A woman of strength kneels
in prayer to keep her soul in shape.
A strong woman isn't afraid of
any thing...But a woman of strength
shows courage in the midst of her
fear.
A strong woman won’t let any-
one get the best of her...But a
woman of strength gives the best of
her to everyone.
A strong woman makes mis-
takes and avoids the same in the
future...A woman of strength real-
izes life’s mistakes can also be
God’s blessings and capitalizes on
them.
A strong woman walks sure-
footedly...But a woman of strength
knows God will catch her when she
falls.
A strong woman wears a look
of confidence on her face... But a
woman of strength wears grace.
A strong woman lias faith that
she is strong enough for the jour-
ney...But a woman of strength lias

NOTICE OF PETITION
Texas ALLTEL, Inc. (Texas ALLTEL) has filed a petition with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission)
to establish a surcharge to recover lost revenues and increased costs associated with Expanded Local Calling Service
(ELCS) petitions for several Texas ALLTEL exchanges. The submission of this petition is based on the Commission's
Substantive Rule 26.221.
ELCS permits an exchange to expand its local calling scope to include one or more exchanges if customers
approve by ballot the payment of an ELCS fee in lieu of long distance charges. The costs and lost revenues associated
with this petition are those not recoverable through the ELCS fee. A portion of this surcharge is to recover ELCS costs
associated with routes implemented prior to September 1,1996, and will replace the surcharge approved in January 1999
that expires in February 2001. The remaining portion of this surcharge will recover ELCS costs associated with new routes
implemented in the year 2000.
If the Texas ALLTEL petition is approved, the company’s local exchange will be assessed an additional monthly
surcharge of $2.84 per business line, $1.42 per residential line and $0.50 per each Tel-Assistance customers per access
line. The resulting total ELCS surcharge will be $4.44 per business line, $2.22 per residential line and $0.78 per
Tel-Assistance line. If approved by the Commission, the additional monthly surcharge will begin, on an interim basis, with
the February 21,2001, billing cycle, subject to refund all or part of the charge if the Commission does not finally approve
the proposed surcharge.
The net annual effect on the revenues of Texas ALLTEL will be zero since the requested surcharge replaces lost
revenues and reimburses Texas ALLTEL for the direct costs of service associated with all ELCS petitions. The estimated
[total lost revenues and increased costs Texas ALLTEL seeks to recover through this proceeding is $51,634 monthly.
If you have questions about this charge or would like further information, please call Texas ALLTEL at
1-800-452-5354.
The Public Utility Commission has assigned Project No. 23301 to this proceeding. Persons who wish to
intervene or comment in these proceedings should notify the Commission by January 21, 2001, the deadline for
intervention. All requests to intervene should be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, 1701 N. Congress!
।Avenue, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, TX 78711-3326. Further information may also be obtained by calling the Commission's
Office of Consumer Affairs at (512) 936-7120. Hearing- and speech-impaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may
contact the Commission at (512) 936-7136.
AVISO DE PETICION
Texas ALLTEL, Inc. (Texas ALLTEL) ha presentado una peticidn oficial ante la Comisin de Servicios Publicos de Tejas
(Public Utility Commission) (Comision) para establecer un recargo para recuperar los ingresos perdidos y los costos incrementados
asociados con las peticiones deAmpliacin del Servicio de Llamadas Locales (ELCS) para varias de las reas de Texas ALLTEL. Esta
[peticidn se presenta en base a la Regia Substantiva numero 26.221.
La ELCS permite que un area amplie su alcance de llamadas locales para que incluyan una o mas areas, solo si los
cientes aprueban el pago de una tasa ELCS mediante una boleta en lugar de cargos por llamadas de larga distancia. Los costos y
llos ingresos perdidos relacionados a esta peticidn son aquellos que no son recuperables mediante la tasa ELCS. Una porcidn de este
sobrecargo es para recuperar los costos del ELCS asociados con los trayectos interrumpidos antes del 1 de septiembre de 1996 y
reemplazaran al sobrecargo aprobado en enero de 1999 el cual caduca en febrero de 2001. La porcidn restante de este sobrecargo
Ies para recuperar los costos de ELCS asociados con los trayectos interrumpidos en el ano 2000.
Si la solicitud de Texas ALLTEL es aprobada, el area local basica de la compania recibira un recargo mensual adicional
Ide $2.84 para clientes comerciales, $1.42 para clientes residenciales y $0.50 para clientes de Tel-Assist, por linea de acceso. Esto
Ihara que el recargo total de ELCS sea $4.44 para clientes comerciales, $2.22 para clientes residendales y $0.78 para Tel-Assist. Si
lla Comision lo aprueba, el recargo mensual adicional comenzara, mientras tanto, con el delo defacturaddn del 21 de febrero de 2001,
loon un acuerdo de reembolso de la totalidad o parte del cargo si la Comisidn no aprueba la tarifa.
El efecto anual neto sobre los ingresos de Texas ALLTEL sera de cero ya que el sobrecargo soliaitado reemplaza los
ingresos perdidos y reembolsa a Texas ALLTEL por el aumento del costo directo del servicio asodado con todas las solicitudes de
ELCS. La cantidad total prevista de ingresos perdidos y aumento de costos que Texas ALLTEL desea recuperar a travs de este
proceso es de $51,634 por mes.
