3.  Scott Woodbury's July 9, 1993 Decision Memorandum re:  Case No. IPC-E-93-15.  Firm Energy Sales Agreement Magic Valley Cogeneration Project Rupert, Idaho.
Approved - was just a contract application.  K Factor suspension also looked okay.
Commissioner Miller asked - what is the usefulness of the K factor?  It forces the parties to work their way through fuel security issues?  If you are only getting contracts with waiver of the factor, maybe that is okay but maybe it means the factor is unreasonable as originally intended.  Said that was just a discussion topic to review when we redo.
4.  Randy Lobb's June 30, 1993 Decision Memorandum re:  Staff Investigation of Hayden Pines Tariff Advice 93-2:  Special Facilities Charges.
Commissioner Smith said her thought was we didn't want to do it as a generic thing but every company is entitled to individual treatment.
Randy Lobb said he agreed but there may be some other companies that have some ideas on how you might handle this or what their concerns might be.  Don't know about doing this in a tariff.  Wanted to see if there was feed back from other companies before approval.  Would like to see if DEQ will comment.
Commissioner Smith asked if the tariff should be suspended and put on modified?
Randy Lobb said he thought it should be made a formal application.
**Decision was to assign a case number and try to get comments.
5.  Terri Carlock's July 8, 1993 Decision Memorandum re:  Idaho Power Company Request for Authority to Issue Common Stock Pursuant to its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan; IPC-E-93-13.
Approved.
Meeting adjourned.
Dated at Boise, Idaho, this 20th day of October, 1993.
