Comment: "I'm looking for explanation why customers would pay for Idaho Power infrastructure repairs, when Idaho Powers standards in our valley is any new work is
underground but when they had to move their lines due to the new highway, they moved the lines overhead, and now customers are being asked to pay for them to go underground now. "

Comment: "RE: IDAHO POWER--PETITION FOR APPROVE SURCHARGE AND MODIFIED LINE ROUTE-WOOD RIVER VALLEY OPPOSE THE SURCHARGE! It is
unfair to force all Blaine County residents to pay a surcharge for the cost of burying a transmission line in Ketchum and Sun Valley only. All communities lie along a scenic
highway and all residents treasure the scenic beauty of our valley. I would agree to pay if the entire line were to be buried, but I OPPOSE this plan which degrades my community and
forces me to pay for that offense. Either THE ENTIRE LINE should be buried or NO SEGMENT OF THE LINE should be buried. If the entire line is buried, all should pay the
surcharge. If just a segment incurs the additional cost, that segment should pay the entire cost. The redundant line only serves the community that wants the buried line. The necessity for
this redundant line has never been proven and there are better ways to provide backup power. Suellen Wagner East Fork resident"

Comment: "I am opposed to the secondary power line north of Hailey to Ketchum. In our biggest power outage no power got to Hailey so this redundant line would not have helped.
Ketchum is situated a the end of a power source and should deal with a very rare outage. Thank you for taking comments "

Comment: "The plan to charge all Wood River Valley taxpayers for the direct buried lined in north valley should not be approved. North valley residents asked for this; it is a want and not
a need. The county has never asked for approval from south valley residents to pay for this, probably because they are trying to sneak this in under the radar. My wife and I have no
problems with above ground electrical cables. Let those that wanted something special pay for it, but do not burden south valley residents and businesses with this onerous surcharge.
Perhaps if the folks up north had to pay the full amount for their want, they may come to their senses and say "never mind"."

Comment: "I understand that if this case is approved it will add $3.00 to everyone's utility bill for the next 10 years. First off, I have a problem with the $5.00 "billing charge" I have to pay
each month. The underground utilities for the Ketchum area is great, for Ketchum. I live in Bellevue, don't go to Ketchum but once a month if that. I don't feel that I should be
responsible for the payment of this improvement. There is no benefit to me for this improvement so why should I have to pay???"

Comment: "I think that the surcharge that is being purposed is wrong, I live 20 miles away from the area that is to get the underground lines, this is bullshit that I need to contribute to
this project, if you or the area that the underground line need the money get it from the people that it benefits not the people that it doesn’t affect, l am tried of this crap. I am not in favor of
this surcharge. Jock Brown "
