I. INTRODUCTION

Western Manufactured Housing Community Association ("WMA") and Knollwood Mobilehome Estates, Ltd. ("Knollwood") jointly seek rehearing of D.04-05-056, which directed Knollwood to remove $95,345 in trenching costs from the rent increase authorized by the Yucaipa Rent Review Commission ("Yucaipa Commission") because these costs were directly related to gas and electric submetered system improvements for which Knollwood had already been compensated via the submetering discount provided by Public Utilities Code Section 739.5. ¹
