APPLICATION OF IDAHO POWER

ASSOCIATION OF
SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO'S

FUNDING
The Building Contrctors Association of Southwester Idaho ("Building Contractors"),
by and through its attorneys of record, Givens Puley LLP, and pursut to Idaho Code 61-
617A and IDAPA 31.01.01.161 - 165, respctfuly makes application to the Idao Public
Utilities Commssion ("Commssion") for interenor fuding in the above-captioned matter.
Ths application is late-filed. For the reans set fort below, however, Building Contrctors
request that the Commssion exercise its discreton to waive the Commssion Rule 164 filing
deadline, accept ths request as tiely filed, and grant Building Contrctors' request for
interenor fuding.

GROUNDS FOR LATE-FIING
The reason for the Building Contrctor's late-filing of ths application is the inadverent
and unintentional oversight by its legal counel with respe to the correct timig for submission
of requests for interenor funding. Counsel for Building Contrors was under the
misapprehension that such aplications would be fied after issuace of the Commission's
decsion on the merts. This would have bee consistent with counsel's expeence in civil
litigation and the assuption that the materality of Building Contractors' contrbution to the
decsion rendered by the Commission would bet be discered by review of the decision itself.
Counsel was mistaen. Commission Rule 164 requires filing of a reuest for interenor
fuding no later than foureen. days after the last evidentiar heang or deadline for submittng
briefs, proposed orders or statements of position. Although this matter was under modified
procedures and interenors submitted comments as opposed to brefs, orders or statements of
position, a strct reading of the rule would make the deadline for submttng ths request May 15,
2009, which was foureen days after the May 1 deadine for filing of reply comments.
Building Contractors submit that whether to accept its late-filed interenor fudig
request is a matter of the Commission's discetion. Idaho Code § 61-617A does not impose a
jursdictonal deadline that would constrai the Commission's consideration of the Building
Contractors' request, and the Idaho Supreme Cour has deeed the considertion of interenor
fuding requests as a mater for the Commission's discetion. See Idaho Fair Share v. Idaho
Public Utilities Commission, 113 Idaho 959, 751 P.2d 107 (1988). As discussed below, the
Building Contrctors satisfy the crtera in I.C. § 61-617A and Commission Rule 165 for an
award of interenor fuding. Building Contactors submt that neither Idaho Power Company
("Idaho Power" or the "Company") nor its ratepayer would be prejudice by considertion and

granting of this reuest, and that equity warants the same, given that ths late-filing was
untentional.
REQUEST FOR INERVENOR FUING
1. A sumar and itemized statements of the Building Contrctors' legal and
consultant expenses for which it seeks recover is attched as Exhbit A.
2. The Building Contrctors' Develope's Council Subcmmttee and staffwere
actively involved with legal counsel and Dr. Richard Slaughter in evaluating Idao Power's
proposed changes to its line extension taff, and the economic impact thse changes would
have on both the Building Contractors' member and the public in southwest Idaho. Although
ths case involved only one set of tarffs, the factu and policy issues rased were complex and
important. Dr. Slaughter was retained as the Building Contrors' consultant due to his
famliarty with Idaho Power's rate strcte generally and its line extension tarff specificaly,
havig testified before the Commission in Case No. IPC-E-95-18. Ths helped to reduce the
time and expense required to establish a foundation of undertandig of the Rule H tarff, to
analyze the proposed amendments and to generte reasoned comments for the Commission's
considertion.
Dr. Slaughter presented reasonable and factuly supprted arguents on the Building
Contractors' behalf as to why the proposed realocation of costs for new distrbution was
inconsistent with policies that promote more effcient use of energy and would have signficant
adverse effects on the commercial and residential constrcton and real estate markets. Beyond
merely crticig the propose tarff Dr. Slaughter offered reasonable alteratives for the
Commission's consideration. Dr. Slaughter challenged the Staffs cacuations of Idaho Power's
proposed investment in distrbution facilities. He argued that the proposed investment to see
BUIING CONTRCTORS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTSTERN IDAHO'S REQUEST
FOR CONSIDERATION AND GRATING OF LATE-FIED REQUEST FOR INTERVENOR
FUDING - Page 3
new residential customers-approved by Staff-falls far short of the Company's invesent to
sere existing residential customer for all but the smallest developments. Dr. Slaughter also
distingushed the difference beteen inflation and growt as they affect Company costs.
The Building Contractors' comments and testiony emphasized an issue of public policy
affectng the general boy of electrc consumernamely the extent to which growt does or
ought to pay for itself through electrc rates. Building Contractors urged the Commssion to look
beyond the phre "growt should pay for itself," to inquire into the real causes of increased
costs, and to crtically evaluate the extent to which new customer ar beig asked to pay more
than existng customer, and whether such a policy encourges existing customer to consume
more energy rather than consere it. No other par, including Staf addressed these issues
squarely.
In the end, the Commission did not agree with the Building Contractors' position. Its
July 1st decision by and large accepts Idaho Power's proposed tarff as modified by Staffs
recommendations. But neither the Commission's Rule nor the statute require the Commission to
agree with an interenor in order to award them funding. The interenor fuding statute is
intended to encourage partcipation in proceeings so that affected customer receive fair
representation before the Commssion. Idaho Code § 61-617 A. A "prevailing par" stdad
does not apply. Here, where the Building Contractors, though its comments and Dr. Slaughter's
testimony, provided reasoned analysis for the alteratives it offered, and that analysis was
different frm the Staffs, it must be assumed that Building Contractors contrbuted materally to
this cae and to the Commission's decsion.

3. The Building Contrctors' expes and costs incured in this cae, as
suarzed in Exhibit A, tota $28,386.35.1 Ths includes $16,567.50 for legal fee (71.6
hours), $11,462.50 for consultant fees (65.3 hour) and $356.35 in copy charges. Thes
expenses were reasonable and necessar. They include expenes incured to retrieve and review
Commission files for the Company's last Rule H taff revision case that had bee moved to the
State Archives. They also include time and expese reviewing comments, testiony and
docuents submtted by other pares and the drftg of Building Contrctors' own testimony
and comments. Ths time and effort peitted the Building Contrctors to meaingfully
parcipate in these proceedings.
4. Building Contactors is a non-profit association that relies on volunta
membeship and voluntar contrbutions to fud its operations and promote the interests of its
member builders, contractors and developers. All of the Building Contractors' operations
expenses, includig building, employees, membe mailings and parcipation in legal or
adminstrtive proceedings such as this case, ar paid from thes voluntar contrbutions.
The costs and expees sumarzed in Exhbit A have bee a signficant financial burden
for Building Contrctors. Curently, voluntar contrbutions have dropped signficantly due to
the strggling ecnomy generly and the depesse local real estate sector spfically. Because
of the reuctions in Building Contrctors' income, it rectly has had to impose signficant
budget cuts an mandatory days off for its staf. Building Contractors continues to solicit
membe contrbutions to cover its generl operating costs and the costs of its interention in this
proceeing.
Buidig Contrctors reognes tht Idao Code § 61-617 A limts the amount awable as inteenor
fuding to $25,000.
BUIDING CONTRCTORS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTSTERN IDAHO'S REQUEST

FUING - Page 5
The Commssion previously recognzed Building Contractors as eligible for interenor
fudig in Case No. IPC-E-95-18 (involvig a Rule H Tarffamendment), where the Buildig
Contrctors incued $14,250.00 in legal fees and $12,207.50 in consultant fees. There the
Commssion authorized interenor fuding in the maximum statutory amount of $25,00 payable
from rates charged to the class that it deemed was prmarly benefitted-namely, lots withn
subdivisions that require line extenions. Building Contractors submits that its appance in this
case was for the benefit of owner oflots within commercial and residential subdivisions
requirig line extensions.
CONCLUSION
Ths reuest for interenor fuding is late-fied.given a strct application of Commission
Rule i 64, which reuires such applications to be filed withn fouree days of the filing of the
last bref (or, in ths case, comments). It has, however, been filed withn foureen. days of the
Commssion's issuce of its Order in this case and at the ealiest opprtity after counsel's
discover of the actu dealine. The costs that Building Contrctors have incued are
reasonable given its substantial level of effort and parcipation in these proceedings. These
costs wer incued to advance policies that benefit Building Contrctors' membe and the
public at large. Building Contractors have materally contrbuted to the decision in ths case and
to the public debate about issues of populaton growt an energy costs.
Parcipation in ths case has be, and cotinues to be, a financial hardship for Bulding
Contractors. Building Contrctors and its legal counsel reues that the inadverence of
misapprehending the filing deadline should not result in fuer financial harship, and they
respecfully request that the Commission exercise its broad discreton to accept and grt this
reues for interenor fuding, to be paid frm the class of customer priarly affected and

benefitted-namely, lots withn subdivisions that require line extensions. Inasmuch as Idao
Code § 61-617 A allows this cost to be a business expese in the Company's next rate ca,
Building Contrctors respetfully subits that grting ths request is not prejudicial to the
Company.
