The city council took only a few minutes to suspend the filing, our news partner KETK reports. CenterPoint Energy gave the city of Tyler a notice of a proposed rate increase of 5.8% that would go into effect on Dec. 4 if no action was taken by the city. Hence why the city council met on Thursday. Pullum said they want to make sure the city and its businesses get to a fair number. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important for all parties obviously and important to the customers because they only want to be charged fair rates but they also want to be able to get the services that they need,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d added Pullum. Officials said they expect to have ongoing talks with the company and have 90 days to come to a decision with CenterPoint Energy on a rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; The Tyler city council voted on Thursday evening to suspend CenterPoint Energy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s filing to raise its costs. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The city has taken action by law that it can take,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Tyler City Attorney Deborah Pullum.
