The second order of business was approval of the CONSENT AGENDA, items 2 – 6. There was no discussion. Commissioner Kjellander moved for approval of the Consent Agenda. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
The next order of business was MATTERS IN PROGRESS:
Howell/Hattaway’s April 13, 2007 Decision Memorandum re: Calculating the 2007 Regulatory Fee Assessments for Public Utilities and Railroads, Case Nos. F-2007-1 and F-2007-2.
Mr. Howell reviewed the Decision Memo. There was no discussion. Commissioner Smith moved that the Commission adopt the assessment as set out in the Decision Memo. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
Status Update re: Capital Development’s Motion to File Brief in the United Water – Lanewood Estates Proceeding, Case No. UWI-W-07-02. [Continued from 4/9/07, No Further Memo.]
Mr. Woodbury reported that the parties had reached agreement and are amenable to considering Capital Development’s request for leave to brief at the conclusion of the hearing, which comports with standard Commission practice to inquire at the conclusion of hearing as to whether any party feels compelled to file a post-hearing brief. He said Staff supports this resolution.
Joe Miller, counsel for United Water, stated that United Water does not object to the resolution and feels it is appropriate.
Commissioner Smith stated she agreed with the proposed resolution because it is how the Commission generally handles motions for briefing. She reiterated that she would not allow delay in this matter because people have money on the line, and she wanted to avoid dragging out the Commission’s processes indefinitely. She made a motion to consider Capital Development’s motion at the conclusion of the hearing in this matter. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
Commissioner Kjellander stated that items 9 and 10 under FULLY SUBMITTED MATTERS would be deliberated privately.
There was no further business before the Commission and Commissioner Kjellander adjourned the meeting.
DATED this ______ day of April, 2007.
