meeting
We appreciate some of the modifications that hearing has made to the POA.

As we've been working through formula rates, it's kind of been an evolving process.
podcast-host
As one utility proposes something that makes sense, we've been picking that up and carrying it forward into the other utilities that have one pending before the commission.
podcast-host
And so I think we're starting to kind of get our hands around something that could work in practice once applied.
podcast-host
I think I'd like to reserve it's okay with the chair.
podcast-host
Any comments we have on the amendments as we discuss those amendments?
podcast-host
And then we're available for any questions.
podcast-host
Sounds good.
podcast-host
Okay, Ruko.
podcast-host
Commissioner Marquez Peterson, thank you for the question.
podcast-host
On this particular case, we don't have a dedicated utilities division, a team member.
podcast-host
The reason for that is currently we, as the commissioners are fully aware, there's 40 rate cases pending or processing those cases as quickly and as efficiently as we can.
podcast-host
Many of our staff are doing an excellent job, but they're new.
podcast-host
And we really don't have anybody who would be experienced enough, especially for a complicated case like this with a formula rate that already wasn't working on the case, to be able to answer questions for the commission.
podcast-host
Vice Chair, of course we'll monitor the dockets where this could potentially impact.
podcast-host
I would just state this is a part of our normal audit when we're seeing new plant investments and plant replacements.
podcast-host
There should be an associated retirement.
podcast-host
But I'll just note there's a materiality issue here where a lot of our newer staff tend to think, well, it costs a million dollars for this plant.
podcast-host
We should see a million dollar retirement.
podcast-host
And that's not going to be the case.
