Alright. So we'll go ahead and go on the record. Good morning, everyone. I'm administrative law judge Elizabeth Beatty, and I've been assigned to preside over this matter. This is the time set for the pre hearing conference in docket numbers W02192A250040 and W01624A250041. In the matter of the applications filed by Little Park Water Company and Big Park Water Company, requesting the establishment of the fair value of plant and approval of permanent rates and
charges to produce a fair return thereon and the approval to consolidate, including the consolidation of rates. So we'll go ahead and begin take by taking appearances of the parties, and we'll begin with the applicant. Thank you, your honor. Good morning. This is Jay Shapiro from the Shapiro Law Firm on behalf of the applicants Big Park Water Company and Little Park Water Company. Alright. Thank you, mister Shapiro. And on behalf of staff? Good morning, your honor. It's Rob Ridenour, r I d e n o u r, on behalf of staff, and I'm here with
Baxter. Okay. Thank you. And then, miss Morris, if you don't mind just introducing yourself for everyone. Gary Morris. I'm an intervener in this, upper in this situation, and I am a customer of water. Okay. I think you cut out for me at least. Did you say, little? No. I said big heart daughter m a c s Okay. Thank you. Thank you, miss Morris. Alright. I know we that there's a settlement agreement that was filed in this case, but I'll still ask. Are there any corrections or object, or exhibits filed this
month? No, your honor. This is this is mister Shapiro, and the parties have agreed now with the settlement to the admission of all the prefiled and is that staff's understanding as well? Yes. It is, your honor. Okay. And then, miss Morris, is that your understanding? Yes. It is, your honor. Okay. Great. So the next topic that I wanna address is, witness and witness order. So we'll start with the applicants again. Mister Shapiro, who do you intend to present and if if there's any specific order? We will present. We will be filing mister Jones' testimony in support of the settlement,
next Monday as required, by our recent stipulation. We will then present mister Jones at the hearing. We will have, mister Nick Gutovic available at the hearing if there are any questions, that, are not questions that mister Jones can answer or that would be specific to mister Gudovic. Okay. Alright. And, just to clarify, mister Gudovic would be able to provide what kind of testimony, I guess, that would be different from mister Jones. You know, I guess, if there were any specific questions from you, your honor, regarding the company itself, that mister Jones is a,
you know, outside consultant may not be able to answer. Mister Goodvik would be available. He'll be at the hearing and available as needed, but we would, at this point, only intend to call mister Jones, to cover the settlement testimony that will be filed. Okay. Understood. Alright. And then were there just to confirm, there's no other witnesses. Is that correct? No. There are no other witnesses. Thank you. Okay. Thank you, mister Shapiro. And for staff? Thank you, your honor. We intend to file Britt Baxter's settlement testimony, and he will be available or he will be at the hearing.
All other members will be available or, for testimony is required. Anybody that filed pre filed testimonies, but, we do not intend to call any of them as witnesses at the hearing. Okay. Understood. Would they be available will they be available at the hearing in case there are questions? Yes, your honor. Okay. Understood. Thank you. I understand that's kind of the way everything works out in this situation that we're we'll still have some testimony that will be filed between now and the hearing. So, I'm not sure that I'll have questions, but just in case,
I I suppose, I wanna make sure that's available. Yes. They will be, your honor. Okay. Thank you. Alright. And then, miss Morris, do you have any witnesses that you would like to present or any, if you would like to testify on behalf of yourself? I your honor, I will be testifying on behalf of myself, and I will be attending via Webex available for questions, and if there's anything in addition to the, statements that I've made and agreed to in the settlement agreement document. Okay. That sounds great. And then just to confirm, to reach out to our broadcast director to make sure that you have all of
the necessary instructions on how to appear via Webex? I believe I have. I do have. Yes. Okay. Great. Alright. Perfect. I just wanted to make sure. Alright. I believe that is everything that I had, for today, but I wanna ask if and we'll start with the applicants if there's any other issues that should be addressed today. Yes. Thank you, your honor. We would ask that the deadline for exhibits to be prefiled be moved, to next Tuesday to follow the filing of the settlement testimony, if that's acceptable. I think it's actually otherwise due today.
And then we were, just wanna confirm that given that there are no disputed issues, that there won't be a need for an issues matrix and then witness summaries. And then if so, if we can file those as well on Tuesday with the exhibits. Okay. Yes. So I believe let me just answer each of these. So, the deadline being moved to next Tuesday, that's perfectly fine, and I just wanna check the calendar. So it'd be the twenty first. Is that correct? Just to make sure we're all on the same page.
Okay. Yeah. Sure. Alright. And then, no issues matrix. I believe that would be fine in this instance because there is a settlement agreement. And then witness testimony summaries, I believe, was the last one. Yes. And I will say just because I'm newer, I would prefer, witness testimony summaries, and I don't have an issue with those being filed, Tuesday. Does that sound great to everybody else? Yes, your honor. It's good with the company. Yes, your honor. Okay. Okay. Thanks. And I believe I heard a yes from everybody. Alright. Mister Shapiro,
was that the only, were those the only issues that you wanted to address today? Yes. Just, Brady, we're we're that's all we have today. Okay. And then for staff? We don't have anything else, your honor. Just wondered if you will be issuing an order with the new dates in it then? Yes. So just verbally approving that, but I will follow-up with a, order authorizing everything. Okay. Thank you, your honor. No. We have nothing else then. Okay. And then, miss Morris? No. I have nothing else. Thank you. Alright. I believe that is everything, and I'll just ask our court reporter, miss Elstard,
if you have anything that you need clarified. Yes. Could, mister Shapiro please, spell his second witness? Gudovic. Yeah. It's g u d o v I c, Gudovic. And miss Morris is your last name, m o r r I s? Correct. And first name Mary, m a r y? Correct. Great. That's it. Thank you. Alright. With that being said, thank you everyone for attending today's prehearing, and we'll go ahead and adjourn. And I'll see everyone on the twenty seventh. Thank you very much, your honor. Thank you, your honor. Thank you. You too.
Thanks. Bye. Bye.
