Dear Cbainmm. Kjcllandcr.
As a member of the Electric Utility Restructuring Committee, I am concerned about
reports that the Idaho Public Utilitics'Commission has made decisions to award recovery
to PacifiCorp for its unanticipated costs. Because this is such a significant issue affecting
residential customcrs in Eastern Idaho. I request that hearings be held by the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission to extend to all customers the opportunity to provide input for these
important ncgotiations. To my knowledge, such hearings have not been held as you havc
negotiated a senlement with PacitiCorp. nor has the public been adequately represented
to insure that conditions set forth in the Scottish Power. PacifiCorp merger are satisfied.
I request that hearings be conducted in Eastern Idaho communities to solicit public
testimony regarding the appropriateness and justification of any cost recovery. I
appreciate the work you and your commission members provide and trust in your
judgment to include Eastern Idaho customers in your decision-making process.
Sincerely.
