RE: ldaho Power Company Land Conveyance
Dear Commissioners:
ldaho Power Company ("ldaho Powed' or "Company") is scheduled to convey
0.171acres of land (the "Property') to the Ada County Highway District ('ACHD") from the
Company's Hillsdale Substation site, for ACHD's development of a new traffic circle at the
intersection of Amity and Eagle Roads in Ada County, ldaho. ldaho Code S 61-328
requires that public utilities in ldaho obtain ldaho Public Utilities Commission approval for
the sale or transfer of property in ldaho "which is used in the generation, transmission,
distribution or supply of electric power and energy to the public." ldaho Power has
determined that the proposed conveyance of the Property would not affect the Hillsdale
Substation or the Company's other operations and accordingly, the Company believes that
the transaction would not require Commission approval under S 61-328.
lf the Commission agrees with ldaho Powe/s assessment, please provide
confirmation to my attention at the address above. I have enclosed a copy of the ACHD
Compensation Summary form for the conveyance of the Property for your reference, and
can provide additional information at the request of the Commission. ACHD is offering
total compensation of $23,526.50 for the acquisition, consisting of $7,430.00 for the
Property, $91 1 .50 for a temporary construction easement, and $15,185.00 for the taking of
Company improvements located on the Property (asphalt and gravel drives, new access
gates). The Company has determined that ACHD's proposed compensation is fair, based
on the independent appraisal ordered by ACHD.
