Chris Burdin presented the Decision Memorandum regarding Idaho Power's application to revise electric
service rates to cover costs related to capital investment and maintenance.The commission had previously
issued notices and granted interventions to several parties, including industrial customers and the Idaho
Conservation League. Kevin Dickey filed a late petition to intervene,which lacked a stated reason for
the delay as required by rule 73.
Commissioner Hammond raised concerns about the lack of explanation for the late filing and whether
Dickey's interests were already represented by the Irrigation Pumpers Association. It was noted that if
Dickey's irrigation interests were under an LLC,legal representation might be necessary.
Commissioner Anderson made a motion to conditionally grant Dickey's petition,requiring him to
provide a substantial reason for the delay.A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
