Description: SUMMARY: On May 1, 2007, Scott Blaising, counsel for California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), met with Karen Shea, advisor to Cmmr. Simon in San Francisco. Blaising commented on the proposed decision (PD) relating to cost responsibility surcharge (CRS) exemption protocols for certain new Municipal Departing Load (MDL) customers. Blaising expressed concern that the PD could be construed as saying that CRS exemptions will automatically apply to certain MDL customers and noted that such a conclusion would be wrong. Blaising noted that CMUA proposed changes to the PD to resolve the ambiguity. Contact person: Scott Blaising, telephone: (916) 682-9702; email: blaising@braunlegal.com.

Description: On February 27, 2007, Scott Blaising, counsel for California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), met with Rami Kahlon, advisor to Pres. Peevey in San Francisco. Blaising stated that CMUA is opposed to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) request in its petition to modify Decision 06-07-030 that the Commission disallow the use of netting to offset a "negative" indifference rate against a "positive" indifference rate. Blaising noted that PG&E's request is inconsistent with D.06-07-030, contrary to numerous other Commission's decisions, principally D.05-12-045, and should not be allowed. Blaising discussed the issue of negative and positive Indifference Rate. Contact person: Scott Blaising, telephone: (916) 682-9702; email: blaising@braunlegal.com

Description: On February 6, 2007, Scott Blaising, counsel for Power and Water Resources Pooling Authority (PWRPA), met with Rami Kahlon, advisor to President Peevey in San Francisco. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Blaising stated that PWRPA is opposed to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) rate proposal in its petition to modify Decision 06-07-030. Blaising stated that the issue presented by PG&E's petition is the same issue that PWRPA protested in response to PG&E's Advice Letter 2835-E. Blaising emphasized that the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Power Charge should not be determined as proposed by PG&E, but should be determined based on the actual accrued costs. Blaising urged the Commission to reject PG&E's proposal and instead base the DWR Power Charge on actual accrued costs.
