What is the purpose of the Pima Utility Company public comment hearing?
All right. Well, I've got 501, so let's go ahead and get started and go on the record. Good evening, this is the time set for a public comment proceeding in the consolidated matter of the applications of Pima Utility Company for determination of the fair value of its utility plant and property and for increases in its rates and charges for utility service based thereon, as well as its application for authority to issue evidence of indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $7,500,000 and encumber its real property and plant as security for such indebtedness and its application for authority to issue evidence of indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $5 million and encumber its real property and plant as security for such indebtedness.
Docket numbers W02199A-25-0269, SW02199A-25-0270, SW02199A-26-0019, and W02199A-26-0019. 0, 0, 2, 0, I'm administrative law judge Chris Nichols and I've been assigned to preside over this matter. Let's go ahead and take appearances of the parties for anyone who'd like to enter an appearance beginning with the applicant pimi utility company.
All right, I see Mr. Shapiro is on the line, but perhaps he's listening only. Is anyone on the line for Mr. Edmondson, John Edmondson?
Who are the parties appearing and what roles do they represent?
Hearing and seeing none. And for Sun Lakes Homeowners Association number one, Sun Lakes Homeowners Association number two, and Sun Lakes Homeowners Association number three, DBA Iron Oaks at Sun Lakes.
Good
afternoon,
Judge Nichols. I'm sorry, Your Honor. This is Jay Shapiro. You could not hear me before. Can you hear me now?
I can, Mr. Shapiro.
Okay.
Why was a 10‑minute recess called and what was the intended outcome?
I apologize. I can let Mr. Crockett finish. I was muted by the system, but I'm unmuted now.
All right. Mr. Shapiro, thank you. For formality's sake, are you appearing today on behalf of Pima Utility Company, or are you just listening in?
Yes, I am. No, I'm appearing, and I will be here for any questions that you have or to address anything necessary on behalf of the applicants. It's Jay Shapiro for the Shapiro Law Firm on behalf of Pima Utility Company.
What does going off‑record mean for this proceeding and why was it done?
All right. Thank you, Mr. Shapiro. And Mr. Crockett, I apologize for the interruption. It sounds like you're here today on behalf of the Sun Lakes Homeowners Association's
Yes, Your Honor. For the record, Jeff Crockett appearing on behalf of Sun Lakes Homeowners Association number one, Sun Lakes Homeowners Association number two, and Sun Lakes Homeowners Association number three. I am here today only to listen, and we'll probably turn my camera off here and just listen to the public comment. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Crockett.
When does the hearing resume on‑record and what actions follow?
And is anyone on the line on behalf of staff? All right, seeing and hearing none. We'll move on to the public comment portion. It does not appear that there's anyone in the hearing room today to provide public comment. And I don't believe I see anyone on the line either. So we will take a 10 minute recess. We will reconvene at quarter after five. And that will give anyone who wanted to participate today but hasn't been able to call in or show up quite yet an opportunity to do so. So let's go ahead and go off the record.
How can the public submit comments after the hearing and when is the next session?
All right, let's go ahead and go back on the record.
Okay, I'm ready. Thank you.
All right. It does not appear that anyone has joined us in the hearing room today or called in to provide comment. So that concludes our public comment proceeding today. But before we adjourn, I want to remind anyone who might be watching online or listening that there will also be another opportunity for public comment on the first day of hearing, October 19, 2026, at 10 o'clock AM here at 1200 West Washington Street in Phoenix. And in addition to that, public comments can be submitted electronically by going to the Commission's website, azcc.gov, and under the Meetings and Cases tab, by clicking on Make a Public Comment in a Docket. All right. Well, thank you all for appearing today, and this proceeding is adjourned.
