Joint Recommendation
On November 20, 2003, seven of the parties filed an unopposed joint recommendation to resolve Phase 1.1 The joint recommendation proposed adoption of documents entitled "Phase 1 Handout-Electric," and "Phase 1 Handout-Gas" included as Attachments A and B to this decision. The handouts identify the categories of costs the utility incurs when directly serving MHP tenants that are avoided by the utility when a MHP is sub-metered. The handouts also identify categories of costs related to electric or natural gas utility service that are either not incurred by the utility when it directly serves MHP tenants, or are not reflected in utility rates for direct service, but are incurred by sub-metered MHP owners. These are the categories of costs that may be separately charged to tenants if not otherwise prohibited.
1 The joint recommendation was proposed by The Western Manufactured Housing Community Association, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, Southern California Gas Company, San Diego Gas and Electric Company, Southwest Gas Corporation, and The Utility Reform Network. There are eight active parties to R.03-03-017 and I.03-03-018. Of those, only the Latino Issues Forum did not join in the joint recommendation. However, the Latino Issues Forum does not oppose it.
