First, thanks for your very fast response. I am very impressed with how quickly you got back to me. We most recently lived in California so you can guess what my expectations were for a response. I knew that Arbor Ridge was a registered Idaho corporation but my firt bil asked for payment to "Arbor Ridge Water Account, LLC." The second bil asked for payment to "Arbor Ridge Water Account:' Both payments are to be mailed to the same address as Intermountain Water and Sewer. Inc. It appeared they were the same company doing business under a fictitious business name that had not been registered with the Secretary of State since neither bil asked for payment to Arbor Ridge. LLC. Just so I understand your note, Arbor Ridge is only regulated by the IPUC because they applied to be regulated and are free to operate in any manner they see fit until they are granted a certificate. If they never had applied they would be free to operate outside the IPUC rules and regulations for small water companies. Is that correct? Also, wil the homeowners in the subdivision be given the opportunity to participate in the process?

AFFIDAVIT OF TIMOTHY L. FARRLL IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT - 1 Case No. CV OC 0708918 AFFIDAVIT OF TIMOTHY L. FARRELL IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT MSW-W-08-1 Exhibit 209 e e STATE OF IDAHO ) ) S8.County of Ada ) I, Timothy L. Farrell, P.E., being tirst duly sworn on oath, depose and, upon personal knowledge, state as follows: 1. I am a professional engineer registered with the State of Idaho (No. 8574). I am also certified by the State ofIdaho as a Class iv Certified Water Operator (No. DWD4-12353). 2. I am a Principal Engineer with SPF Water Engineering, LLC, one otthe preeminent water~engineerng firms in the State of Idaho. 3. I have many years of experience in areas including: public water system design and permitting; water rate development and analysis; capital improvement planning; water system operations; source water treatment; water system master plaiming; hydraulic modeling; water resource and groundwater evaluations; and water quality investigations. 1 am very familiar with and have helped numerous developers receive all approvals necessary for the development and permitting of various water systems. 4. Approval for all public water systems, including design, construction, and development in the State of Idaho must comply with IDAPA 58.01.08, Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. Idaho Department of EnvirolUnental Quality (DEQ) is reviewing agency for purposes of implementation of the above rules. 5. I was the engineer otrecord for the water system for Arrowrock Ranch Subdivision (the "Subdivision") throughout the DEQ-approval process. Accordingly, I have personal knowledge of the relevant tàcts of this matter. 6. The water system for the Subdivision has received all necessary DEQ approvals, including approval of the water system's Demonstration of Financial, l'echnical, and Managerial AFFIDAVIT OF TIMOTHY L. FARRLL IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTU:rS' MOnON FOR PARTiAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT - 2 e e Capacity ("TFM Manual"). The TPM Manual tor the water system associated with the Subdivision was submitted in October 2005 and received DEQ approval on July i 9,2007. A true and accurate copy of the approved TFM Manual is attached as Exhibit A. 7. With regard to the water system sering the Subdivision, DEQ's approval of the water system includes approval of a plan, descrbed in the TFM Manual and in the Amended and Restated Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions tor Arrowrock Ranch Subdivision, dated October 18,2005 ("Restrictive Covenants") to transfer the water system to either the Subdivision's homeowners' association or another entity after 90% oflots within the Subdivision have requested water service. This "change of ownerhip" description is included in the TFM Manual on pages 3-5 and in Paragraph 9.12 ofthe Restrictive Covenants. 8. DEQ approved the TFM Manual, which includes provisions designating ultimate control and ownership of this public water system. It is common for new public water systems to be run by the developer and transferred to a DEQ-approved entity on or before full build-out of the Subdivision. 9. The timing requirements of the transfer were approved by DEQ in the TFM Manual. If transferred to an entity other than a non-profit association, the PUC may then have regulation authority in conjunction with DEQ. 10. After approval by DEQ, I engaged in discussions with both DEQ and the PUC and let them know that the water system would be transferred according to the provisíons of the TFM ManuaL. i i. DEQ and PUC offcials accepted this resolution, which allows this developer to retain control over the pri vate water system for a limìted time during the build-out of their projects. This also allows a developer to charge for water service, though only insotàr as the AFFIDA vlr OF TIMOTHY L. FARRELL IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR PARTIA SUlvlMARY JUDGMENT - 3 e e charges are limited 10 actual operation and maintenance expens~s, plus a small amount for emergency reserves. (n other words. the system is to be operated effectively on a not-for-profit basis. 12_ Once the "trigger point" of90% oflots requesting servke is readicù.ihcn iht: approved TFM Manual designates that the water system may be transferred to another entity (including to a PUC-cenified entity), but only upon receipt of written authori,-aiion for the iranstì:r from DEQ.

I am a certified public accountant registered with the State of Idaho. I am also President of Alden Holm & Co., Inc., an Idaho corporation located in the Treasure Valley that provides tax, business development, and planning serices tor small businesses and high net- worth individuals. 2. I have over ten years of tax consulting, business-consulting and public utility auditing experience, including experence as a Principle Auditor for the State ofIdaho. 3. My past experence as a State of Idaho employee included work for the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC). As a result, I am very familiar with the practices, policies, and procedures of the PUC. 4. Ibans, in part, to this familiarty, one ofthe services that I am able to provide to my clients is the abilty to advise and lead clients through the PUC-certification process, including certification as a small water company. 5. I am presently working with Arbor Ridge, LLC ("'Arbor Ridge"), the developer of Arrowrock Ranch Subdivision (the "'Subdivision"), in order to achieve PUC certification for the water system serving the Subdivision. This includes finalizing each of the documents, including results of ongoing monitoring, necessary to PUC-certification application. Based upon my review of these documents, I anticipate filing (on behalf of Arbor Ridge or its successor-in- interest with regard to the Subdivision's water system) for PUC-certification for the water AFFIDAVIT OF ALDEN HOLM IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFfS' MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT - 2 e e system serving the Subdivision by approximately late spring 2008. I have personal knowledge ofthc relevant facts of this matter. 6. Based upon materials I have reviewed, I anticipate that the monthly rate that wil be proposed to PUC tor water servce wil be approximately in the range of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) to One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per month. 7. The rate for water serice that is presently being charged by Arbor Ridge to the residents of the Subdivision is Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per month. It is my understanding that the current rates cover some, but not all, of the operation and maintenance costs directly relating to the water system. 8. In my experence, the PUC has never denied an owner of a water system the ability to charge a reasonable rate prior to certification. This is due, in part, to the fact that certification of small water systems is a long process. It may take as long as nine (9) months from the time of application for certification to take place; this is in addition to the significant pre-application work, including extensive and time-consuming monitoring (presently being completed by the developer of the Subdivision and water system), that must also be completed. 9. I am aware that employees of Arbor Ridge have been in discussions with the PUC related to the Subdivision's water system and have alered the PUC not only to the water system's existence, but that the Arbor Ridge is curently charging rates to recver ongoing operation and maintenance costs directly related to the water system. I am aware of no objection that has been raised by the PUC relating to this water system. Further this affant sayeth naught.

'1 12 13 14 Following oral argument by counsel, the Court took the matter under advisement. 15 BACKGROUND 16 This litigation arises out of the development of Arrowrock Ranch Subdivision. 17 The Plaintiffs purchased propert within the subdivsion and their suit is against varïous 18 entities associated with the subdivision that are controlled by the Defendant, Greg Johnson, who has also been sued individually. The Plaintiffs have also made claims against the Defendant Ferguson, Beal & Associates, a real estate agency, as well as 19 20 21 22 the Defendant Douglas Ferguson, a broker for that agency. 23 The Plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Complaint on November 1, 2007. 24 Their complaint alleges breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of 25 the Idaho Racketeering Act, Idaho Consumer Protection Act (ICPA), breach of the 26 MEMORANDUM DECISION - CASE NO. CVOC0708918 . PAGE 2 03/10/2008 12: 55 FAX 2082877~._--_.-.eDISTRICT COURT I4 003 -.'- 1 CCRs, and operating a water corporation without a permit. At the heart of these claims is the Plaintiffs' contention that the Defendants represented to the Plaintiffs that their association fees, water and sewage fees would biled at a flat rate of $1,200 a year. 2 3 4 The CeRs for the subdivision prohibit individual water systems or sewage disposal 5 systems. Upon the purchase of their homes, the Plaintiffs were charged $4,000 for a sewer "hookup" and $2,500 for a water connection to the Defendants' systems. After purchasing their homes, the Plaintiffs were biled by two of the Defendant-entities for a 6 7 8 total of $200 a month for their water and sewage alone. The Defendants filed their Amended Answer on November 20, 2007, claiming that the Amended Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, the 9 10 , , 12 doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel preclude the claims, the Plaintiffs have 13 not been damaged, and that the Plaintiffs' claims are barred by the equitable doctrines 14 of estoppel and unclean hands. 15 The Plaintiffs filed the present Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Counts One and Twenty-Nine on December 14, 2007. The Defendants filed their Counter Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Count One on December 18, 2007. The Plaintiffs filed objections to certin affidavits submitted by the Defendants on January 16 17 18 19 29,2008. 20 LEGAL STANDARD 21 22 Idaho Rule of Civil Procedure 56(c) sttes that summary judgment shall be 23 rendered "if the pleadings, depositions, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there Îs no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving part is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law."

It is well settled that a mere scintila of evidence or only a slight doubt as to the2 3 facts is not sufficient to withstand summary judgment. Corbridge v. Clark Equipment 4 CO., 112 Idaho 85j 87,730 P.2d 1005, 1007 (1986). The moving part is entitled to 5 summary judgment when the non-moving part fails to make a showing sufficient to 6 establish the existence of an element essential to their case on which they bear the 7 burden of proof at triaL. Ponds v. Denison, 120 Idaho 425, 426, 816 P.2d 982, 983 8 (1991). A part who resists summary judgment has the responsibility to place in the record before the court the existence of controverted material fact that require 9 10 resolution at trial. Sparks v. St. Luke's Regional Medical Center, Ltd., 115 Idaho 505, 11 12 508, 768 P.2d 768,771 (1988). A part may not rely on his pleadings nor merely assert 13 ' the existence of facts which might or wil support his legal theory. Id. A part must 14 establish the existence of those facts by deposition, affidavit, or otherwise.

DISCUSSION23 24 1.Plaintiffs' Objection to Affdavits 25 The Plaintiffs raise several objections to affidavits submitted by the Defendants 26 MEMORANDUM DECISION. CASE NO. CVOC07D8918 . PAGE 4 03/~0/2008 12: 57 FAX 2082877~.DISTRICT COURT e ~005 ..."" in opposition to their Motion for Summary Judgment. The Defendants submitted 1 affidavits by Alden Holm, a CPA and Arbor Ridge empioyee, T. Hethe Clark, the2 3 Defendants' attorney, Trent Neiffenegger. an employee of Arbor Ridge, and Timothy 4 Farrell, the engineer that designed the water utilty for the Arrowrock subdivision. The 5 Plaintiffs have objected that these affidavit contain inadmissible hearsay, that the 6 statements lack a basis for expert opinion testimony, contain legal opinions, or are 7 without relevance. 8 10 Mr. Holm's affidavit identifies his experience in tax consultation, as well as his former background as an ex-employee of the Idaho Public Utilties Commission (PUC). Paragraphs 8 and 9 describe Mr. Holm's knowledge of the PUC process and his 11 awareness of what steps that unnamed Arbor Ridge employees have taken with the12 13 PUC in the process of receiving certification. To the extent that Paragraph 8 draws on 14 , Mr. Holm's prior experience, these statements would be admissible only if Mr. Holm 15 was a qualified expert in PUC certification, which has not been demonstrated to the 16 Court. Paragraph 9 contains hearsay that purports to stand for the truth of the matter 17 asserted. The PUC employees or Arbor Ridge employees that have been involved in 18 this process may submit their own testimony as to what discussions have or have not 9 19 occurred in regard to the Arrowrock Ranch water system. Paragraphs 8 and 9 of the 20 Holm affidavit wil be stricken. 21 An affidavit of Defendants' counsel. Mr. Clark, was submitted .with attched 22 23 emails between a former Arbor Ridge employee and an employee for the PUC. These 24 emails are hearsay and wil be stñcken. 25 The affdavit of Trent Neiffenegger was filed by the Defendants. Mr. 26 MEMORANDUM DECISION - CASE NO. CVOC0708918 - PAGE 5 ~.. 03/~0/2008 12: 57 .FAX 208287"-,DISTRICT COURT 14 006e '-"- 1 Neiffenegger is a current Arbor Ridge employee. Paragraph 4 was objected to by the Plaintiffs as containing legal opinions on the meaning of documents and hearsay statements of what the developer intended. The Court agrees that it is unclear in the affidavit how Paragraph 4 Is based on the affianfs personal knowledge and that the content of the plat itself is best proven by the admittance of the document itself. Thus, 2 :3 4 5 6 Paragraph 4 of Mr. Neiffeneggers Affidavit wil be stricken. Timothy Farrell's affidavit was also submitted by the Defendants. Mr. Farrell is7 B the principal engineer in charge of the Arrowrock Ranch's water system. Mr. Farrell 9 10 describes his experience, which the Court wil find does not qualify him under Idaho Rule of Evidence 702 as an expert regarding the PUC's certification process. As approval under the Department of Environmental Quality is not at issue, his expertise in 11 12 13 this area is not relevant. As such, Paragraphs 1 through 9 and Paragraph 12 wil be 14 stricken. Mr. Farrell's statements regarding what the DEQ or PUC accepted, contained 15 in Paragraph 11, is hearsay, and so wil also be stricken. 16 17 Count One: Plaintiff' Motion tor Summary Judgment and the Defendants' Counter..Motion for Summary Judgment. The Plaintiffs have asked this Court to award summary judgment in their favor on 2. 18 19 Count One, which alleges a breach of contract. The Plaintiffs' theory is that the reference to the CC&Rs in the purchase agreements incorporates the duties expressed in the restrictive covenants as part of the purchase agreement. Hence, a breach of the 20 21 22 covenants would be an incorporated breach of the contract. However, the Defendants 23 contend that there is a lack of contractual privrt between the Defendants and the 24 25 Plaintiffs who purchased propert from a seller other than the Defendants. As to the Plaintiffs who purchased directly from the Defendants, the Defendants state that at 26 MEMORADUM DECISION - CASE NO. CVOC0708918 - PAGE 6 DISTRICT COURT e I4 007 '-.'.. 1 most the purchase agreements incorporate the notice requirements for Ce&Rs, but do not incorporate the covenants themselves as contractual burdens on the parties. While there are similarities between contract law and law regarding restrictive 2 3 4 covenants, a claim to enforce restrictive covenants is not one that sounds in contract 5 law. The fundamental principles of mutuality and contractual privity are absent in such 8 restrictive covenant claims. See 34 Am. Jur. 3d Proof of Facts 339 § 2. Instead, privity 7 of estate is required, but that privity of estate is not a substitute for a contract. Rather, 8 the claim is based in the CC&R duties that may run with the land apart from any 9 10 " contractual document. ¡d. The distinction between a breach of contract claim and a claim to enforce a restrictive covenant is not one that can be alleviated by changing a caption or labeL. If12 13 that were the case, such a distinction could be quickly alleviated by the liberal 14 constructon of pleadings permitted in Rule 8(t). Rather, the distinction goes to the 15 heart of the claim and has profound implications on the appropriate remedy. Idaho 16 courts have not addressed whether more than injunctive relief is appropriate for claims 17 to enforce covenants, but even if such relief was appropriate, it would not necessarily 18 be a calculation based on contract law principles. See 34 Am. Jur. 3d Proof of Facts 339 §§ 10-12. Furthermore, the Second Amended Complaint's pleadings on Count One and the briefs filed in support of the Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment are all based on contractual law and not Idaho law regarding restrictive covenants. The Plaintiffs' moving papers extensively detail their argument that the contracts for the sale of propert incorporated by reference the CC&Rs and by that reference, the CC&Rs become contractu~1 obligations between the parties. This argument sounds exclusively 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 MEMORANDUM DECISION - CASE NO. CV0C008918 - PAGE 7 03/10/2008 1~: 58 FAX .20~ ~ DISTRICT COURT 14 008e "..\., in contractual law rather than as a claim to enforce a restrictive covenant. Additionally, 1 the remedy sought in the prayer for relief does not include one appropriately tied to a2 3 claim to enforce a restrictive covenant. 4 As to the Plaintiffs that do have contractual privity with the Defendants because 5 they purchased the land directly from the Defendants, there is stil a problem with the 6 Plaintiffs' allegation that the CC&Rs were incorporated. The relevant provision of the Purchase Agreements read as follows: "Buyer acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Master Declaration of Covenants, Condition, Restriction, and Easements (OC&R's) . . . and agrees to abide by said documents" (emphasis added). The Court has not found any basis in Idaho law that suggests that such contractual language stating that a buyer 7 8 9 10 11 acknowledges the receipt of CC&Rs and agrees to abide by them could reasonably be12 1 :3 interpreted as creating additional duties for the seller. The Plaintiffs cited to Shawver v. Huckleberry Estates, LLC in support of their argument that such a reference was an14 15 incorporation. 140 Idaho 354, 93 P.3d 685 (2004). However, that case concerned a 16 buyer who purchased land only to find that the seller-subdivision later amended the 17 CC&Rs to increase the square footage requirement. Id. There was a question as to i8 whether the amendment was a breach of the purchase and sale agreement, and 19 20 another question as to whether the amendments to the CC&Rs were applicable to the buyer. The Court found that the amendment was not a breach and that the amended 21 Ce&Rs applied to the buyets land because the buyers were notified through the22 23 purchase and sale agreement that it was their duty to obtain a copy and review the 24 applicable CC&Rs. Id. at 364-365, 93 P .3d at 695-696. 25 While on one hand, the Shawver court acknowledged the incorporation of the 26 MEMORADUM DECISION - CASE NO. CVOC0708918 . PAGE 8 03/~0/2008 12: 59 FAX ~082877~D i STRi CT COURT e kt 009 0,-'--0 1 Ce&R amendment provisions into the purchase agreement, CC&R references in contracts for the purchase of real estate are generally included to provide the buyer notice of the buyer's duty to review the CC&Rs. The court În Shawver did not extend 2 s 4 the use of such provisions into creating additional contractual duties for the seller, and ó there is no basis to do so in this case when the plain language of the contract clearly indicates that the reference was meant for the protectio of the seller, not the buyer.6 7 Any other interpretation of that provision does not adequ tely give the seller notice that 8 the seller may be additionally bound by provisions con ined outside the contractual 9 10 language itself. For all of these reasons, the Plaintifs have not pi d a claim that this Court can award summary judgment upon. Rather, the Defendants have demonstrated that even l' 12 13 construing all contested fact in favor of the Plainti s, the Plaintiffs stil cannot successfully prevail on the breach of contract claim that they have pled. Accordingly,14 16 15 the Court wil award the Defendants summary judgment 0 Count One. 3.Count Twenty-Nine: Plaintiffs' Motion fa Summary Judgment 17 Count Twenty-Nine of the Plaintiffs' Second Amen ed Complaint alleges that the Defendants are operating a water corporation without a ermit. The Defendants admit18 19 to operating what is described in Idaho Code § 61-125 s a "water corporation." The 20 21 Defendants also admit that they have not yet applied f r a certificate of convenience and necessity, although for some time they have stated t at they plan to make such an22 23 application in the future. A certificate of convenience a d necessity Is required under 24 Idaho Code § 61-526, which states in relevant part: 25 No street railroad corporation, gas corporation, electrical corporation, M~o~:::::::~~=:::n, ìl heooefort boin the 26 ~ 03/~0/2008 12:59 FAX 208~87~DISTRICT COURT ~010e '.."- 1 construction of a street railroad. or of a line, plant, or system or of any extension of such street railroad, or line. plant, or system, without having first obtained from the commission a certificate that the present or future public convenience and necessity require or wil require such construction2 3 4 I.C. § 61.526 (emphasis added). 5 The statute goes on to list some exceptions to the interpretation of the provision, but no part has alleged that any of these exceptions are applicable to the current case, nor does the Court find any of the exceptions applicable from its own reading of the statute. Additionally, a review of IDAPA 31.01.01.111 suggests that the reading of the statute is correct, in that every reference to the utilty service is qualified with the term "proposed." Even further, the regulation requires that the public utilty state lithe manner in which the applicant proposes to finance new utilty service construction, the time 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 when the applicant proposes to begin construction and the time when the applicant 14 proposes to begin service." IDAPA 31.01.01.111. 15 The Defendants argue that the PUC is aware of the Defendants' water service 16 charges to the Plaintiffs and that the PUC has condoned such charges dunng times 17 when certificate applications are in the process of being completed and approved. In 18 support of this defense, the Defendants have not produced non~hearsay statements from any employee from the PUC as verification. Further, the Defendants have not pointed to any written policy or regulation promulgated by the PUC that describes any 19 20 21 22 permitted transitional charging, or even construction, of a water corporation before 23 receiving a certificate of convenience and necessity. From the statute and regulations, 24 a certificate for necessity and convenience was required before the construction of the 25 water system at all. The Defendants have gone further than merely commencing 26 MEMORANDUM DECISION - CASE NO. CVOC0708918.

The Defendants have gone even 1 further and have begun to charge customers for its services. The Plaintiffs have no way2 s to know how long-onths or even yearsthat this unregulated assessment might 4 continue without oversight by the PUC. s In order to survve summary judgment, more than a scintila of evidence must be 6 put forth in defense of one's argument. Here, the Defendants have failed to provide 7 such evidence because the affidavits and other evidence submitted was largely based 8 on hearsay and statements lacking personal knowledge. The Court has stricken those 9 10 statements. As such, the Court must grant the Plaintiffs' Motion for summary judgment on this count as to the issue of whether the statute has been víolated. The Court notes, 11 however, that little to no briefing or oral argument addressed the subject of an12 13 appropriate remedy, whether that relief is an injunction, damages, or some other 14 remedy. A further hearing, upon the request by either part, wil be necssary before 15 any such relief wil be granted by the Court. 16 CONCLUSION 17 The Court wil GRANT the Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment on Count 18 Twenty-Nine and DENY the Plaintiff' Motion for Summary Judgment on Count One. 19 21 The Court wil GRANT the Defendants' Counter Motion for Summary Judgment on Count One.
