6. Comments on Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of the ALJ in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Section 311 of the Public Utilities Code and Rule 14.3 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. Comments were filed on May 27, 2009, by Cal-Am which requested that the final approved rates be consistent with the Commission's final decision in Application 08-01-024 on general office issues, a portion of which are allocated to the Monterey Wastewater District and that the adopted rates also reflect the final adopted rate of return from Decision 09-05-019. Today's decision reflects the Commission's resolution of both the general office and rate of return proceedings.
