What is covered in the opening remarks and public comment portion of the hearing?
ahead and go on the record. And this is the time set for public comment in the hearing for docket numbers W-03293A-023-0296, W-03293A-23-0331, and W-02594A-25-0024. RELATING TO THE TIM UTILITY CONSOLIDATED RATE AND FINANCING APPLICATIONS. GOOD MORNING. WELCOME TO THE ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMISSION. MY NAME IS BLINDA MARTIN, THE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE ASSIGNED TO THIS MATTER. AND AT THIS TIME WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS CHECK AND SEE IF THERE, LET ME LOOK ONLINE AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO WISHES TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT. I DON'T SEE ANYBODY. I RECOGNIZE ALL THE NAMES. And I do not see any additional folks in here in the hearing room. So let the record reflect that there is no one present to provide public comment in this matter.
So at this time, we will conclude public comment. And we will begin with the hearing in this matter. All right. So I'm going to do this one more time for the purposes of the transcript. And this is the time set for the hearing. And docket numbers W-03293A-23-0296, W-03293A-23-0296, dash 00331 and W dash 02594A dash 25 dash 0024 relating to the Timutility Consolidated Rate and Financing Applications. And once again, good morning. I'm still Belinda Martin. And so far as I know, I'm still administrative law, a law judge assigned to this matter. And at this time, I'd like to take appearances and here today on behalf of the applicant.
Your Honor, Steve Ween on behalf of Tim Utility Company. And just for the record, Tim Utility has been consolidated. It started out as Tim Water Dam Utility. It is now just Tim Utility Company. So I may be referring to Tim Utility Company, and sometimes that may bleed into including some Tim Water Company aspects. But I hope you just understand that there's a reason for that.
Just depends on the point of time we're
talking about. It does,
Your
Honor. It does. Thank
you. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Ween. And appearing today on behalf of staff.
You like all that stuff, attorney. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Gallup. Okay. Mr. Wien, do you have any procedural matters you want to discuss first?
As late last night, I received an additional email that indicated staff had filed the protective order in this case. And I think it's just appropriate to have a clean record that I should introduce the email and the documentation that shows that we provided the documents they wanted under the protective order.
Okay. Well, we will, we'll take care of that at the appropriate
time. We will. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it ahead of time. So it didn't catch you off guard.
Okay. And have you filed that knee docket or how are you
I have not filed it. I just saw that last night. I have not filed it, so I would submit it today or late file it.
Okay, we'll consider it late filed, depending on if it gets admitted. Because the company would need to see that. Or staff, I mean, sorry.
It was to staff.
The email was to staff. Okay. Mr.
Golub? I'm sorry. So the last exhibit is that the protective order, like that agreement, including confidentiality issues and all that. If that's all it is, that which I forwarded, that agreement was signed by all parties.
So in
2025. So I don't have any objection. I've introduced it as a potential exhibit. So that's fine.
Right. I don't think that's an issue. I show S5 as a protective agreement, Exhibit A distribution list, and Exhibit A is for Cam Otten and Cherie Jones. And then S6, emails regarding staff's review of the applicant documents. S7, the PDEQ annual fee and staff S8, emails between council regarding missing documentation. So that may be the same thing, but we'll find out.
I will.
At a later point in time, I just didn't know if it was the same thing that's been filed by staff already, so just so we're aware. Okay. All right, Mr. Golub, do you have any procedural matters you want to discuss first?
No, I just want to clarify. So what Mr. Wien, are you... What was that additional exhibit?
What procedural matters are addressed before the witness testimony begins?
Was it the protective agreement that we're talking about?
I think he said it was the emails regarding the protective agreement that are different from the one provided as S8.
