Don Cozart City of Lebanon Gas Manager
Prices fluctuate. Markets constantly change. Your character
shouldn’t. That’s how Don Cozart sees it. And that’s what he
looks for in suppliers and associates. As the gas manager for
the City of Lebanon, Tennessee, Don has been working
with Atmos Energy since 1986. Ask him why, and he’ll tell you
how in 1989, when cold weather in the Gulf froze out
many gas wells, Atmos Energy was there honoring $3 contracts
when prices had jumped to $28 per Mcf. Yes, markets can be
erratic. Which is all the more reason why we refuse to be.
LEBANON, TENNESSEE
In 2001, Atmos Energy received
the inaugural Greater Dallas
Business Ethics Award for
demonstrating a commitment
to ethical business practices.
Our value system isn’t just a
statement. It’s a way of life.

West Texas Rate Cases. In both
1999 and 2003, Atmos Energy was
able to reach agreements with the
City of Amarillo without litigation
on rate increases. Settling without
hearings saved time and money for
the city and, ultimately, for our
customers and shareholders.
“Our commitment to ethical behavior
is not driven by the letter of the law
but, more importantly, by the spirit of
the law.” - Bob Best, Chairman, President and CEO
