MATTERS IN PROGRESS
Rick Sterling's February 7, 2000 Decision Memorandum re: Pacificorp's Schedule 70 -- New Wind, Geothermal, and Solar Power Rider.
This matter was held until the February 29, 2000 Decision Meeting.
Don Howell's February 8, 2000 Decision Memorandum re: United Water's Application for a General Rate Increase, Case No. UWI-W-00-1.
Scott Woodbury reviewed the matter. Commission chose to stay with company's existing rate design in the last rate case. Company is requesting approval of the filing without change to cost of service or rate design. Staff recommendation is to suspend the filing and propose March 3 as intervention deadline and March 14 for prehearing conference. Staff agrees with Company regarding rate design and cost of service but suggests it be considered at the prehearing conference when the other parties are known.
Commissioner Kjellander said one of the questions asked is whether or not to consider the initial application as being complete.
Commissioner Hansen said he thought it should be taken up at the prehearing conference and Commissioner Kjellander was correct in that regard.
Commissioner Smith commented March 3 was coming up right away; suggested moving the intervention deadline to March 7 and with that, made a motion to suspend the application for 30 days plus 5 months and set the intervention deadline for March 7 and the prehearing for March 14. Vote taken on the motion: carried.
Decision Meeting was then adjourned.
Dated at Boise, Idaho, this 22nd day of February, 2000.
Myrna J. Walters, Commission Secretary
