25 will because it' s in my spreadsheet. The most

AMENDED NOTICE OF CUSTOMER HEARING - April 10, 2024
5
1 important information apparently is that the
2 bathrooms are out the door to the left, down
3 the haul .
4 In the case of an emergency, please do not
5 use the elevator. I 'm not sure whether there ' s
6 an elevator, but don' t use that because that is
7 not going to get you anywhere in this building.
8 Run out to the golf course if you need to exit
9 for whatever reason.
10 I will explain procedures and parameters
11 of today ' s hearing -- well , first, actually let
12 me step back.
13 Is there anyone here that wishes to
14 testify in this case today?
15 (no response)
16 MR. HAMMOND, JR. : I don ' t believe
17 there ' s -- oh, Kevin wants to --
18 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: No one has signed
19 in to testify.
20 MR. HAMMOND, JR. : I thought you were
21 going to come testify, Kevin.
22 So nobody has signed in to testify. I
23 think at this point since we have nobody here
24 that wishes to testify, we ' ll go off the record
25 for approximately ten minutes . During that

1 time if anybody comes we can have them come up
2 to testify and we ' ll go back on the record.
3 But for now let' s be at ease . Thank you very
4 much.
5 (Pause in proceedings . )
6 MR. HAMMOND, JR. : Let' s go back on the
7 record here in the customer hearing, for the
8 customer hearing in Case Number QST-G-23-01 .
9 I don' t believe I have seen anybody else
10 that has walked in or expressed an interest in
11 testifying in today' s matter. Mr. Keith has
12 indicated that nobody has signed up to testify.
13 So at this point, since we don ' t have any
14 folks here to testify for purposes of this
15 hearing, we ' ll close the hearing. And I want
16 to thank you all for being here today. And we
17 with that, we ' ll adjourn. Thank you.
