RE:VISTA TARIFF ADVICE NO. 05-02G AND 05-06E TO IMPLEMENT A
1 % FRANCHISE FEE ON NATURAL GAS AND ELECTRIC SERVICE
WITHIN THE CITY OF HAYDEN, IDAHO.
On August 30, 2005 , Avista filed Tariff Advice No. 05-02G and No. 05-06E with the
Commission requesting the implementation of a 1 % franchise fee on both gas and electric
services within the City of Hayden, Idaho. The increase allows Avista to collect the franchise
fees from its customers beginning October 1 , 2005 and remit to the city as specified by
ordinance. The franchise fee request is the result of the City of Hayden Ordinance No. 391
(electric) and 392 (gas) both attached to the Company s filing. Idaho Code 950-329A allows
cities to impose a 1 % franchise fee.
COMMISSION DECISION
The Staff recommends that Natural Gas Service Schedule 158 Fifth Revision Sheet 158
and Electric Service Schedule 58 Ninth Revision Sheet 58 , be "accepted for filing" with an
effective date of October 1 , 2005 as proposed by the Company. Does the Commission agree?
