Howell/Woodbury’s April 4, 2007 Decision Memorandum re: Capital Development’s Motion to File Brief in the United Water – Lanewood Estates Proceeding, Case No. UWI-W-07-02.
Mr. Woodbury reviewed the Decision Memo. He stated that the parties have agreed to file simultaneous post-hearing briefs on June 14th. He said the City of Eagle has some concerns regarding the necessity for a reply brief. Mr. Woodbury suggested the Commission allow Staff time to work with the parties and identify the issues, and then it should become clear if reply briefs will be necessary. He said if Staff is unable to reach agreement between the parties as to identification of the issues, he will bring this matter back before the Commission at the next Decision Meeting.
Commissioner Smith thanked Mr. Woodbury for getting together with the parties and resolving this matter to avoid delaying the hearing. She stated the Commission needs to have the legal issues briefed so this is a good resolution, and she didn’t see the need for replies, but if that can’t be worked out, the Commission can decide that later. She made a motion that the schedule for filing briefs be set for June 14th and if the parties wish to file a reply the Commission will consider that matter at a later date. There was no further discussion. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
