Mr. Howell reviewed the Decision Memo, noting that the parties had agreed to a 14-day
comment period in order to move the case along as quickly as possible. Commissioner Raper
stated that she was concerned about the proposed 14-day comment period because the public has
not had a chance to comment on the case, and therefore she recommended a 21-day comment
period. Mr. Howell replied that Staff did not object.
There was no further discussion and Commissioner Raper made a motion to set a 21-day
