On November 8, 2004, Frank Schultz, Manager of Management Analysis of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), met with Peter Arth, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present were Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, and Ed O'Neill, outside counsel to BART. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. BART discussed the draft decision (DD) of ALJ Kenney. O'Neill stated that BART only recently became aware that the DD does not recognize the special terms and conditions under which federal preference power has been historically delivered to BART or recent legislation, SB 1201, intended to permit BART to continue receiving deliveries of power in the future from local publicly owned suppliers on the same terms and conditions. O'Neill stated that, if not revised, the DD could conflict with the intent of the legislature in enacting SB 1201 and have a significant adverse financial effect on BART. To remedy this unintended result, Schultz and O'Neill urged the Commission to
