Summary: On June 15, 2000, Jim Scarff, counsel for the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), had a telephone conversation with Geoffrey Dryvynsyde, advisor to Cmmr.Lynch. Scarff discussed ORA's view about how Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) new "compromise" proposal, as described in various recent ex- parte notices, fit into the existing schedule. Scarff pointed out that ALJ Hale's ruling directed parties to present any alternative methods of market valuation to be filed June 8, however, PG&E chose not to file any testimony regarding alternatives at that time, and now seeks special consideration of the proposal as an alleged `settlement'. Scarff stated that ORA's viewed this proposal not as a settlement but rather as new alternate method of market valuation and divestiture. Scarff also explained that PG&E's proposal was highly unlikely to reduce the amount of work the Commission would have to do. Scarff noted that the proposal appears to be contrary to the positions of numerous parties. Scarff stated further that the transfer of the assets out of the regulated utility raised many new, major issues involving affiliate transactions and fairness. Scarff also pointed out that PG&E's proposal was contrary to PG&E's application, thereby raising substantial issues of notice.

On June 14, 2000, John McClendon, counsel to the City of Huntington Beach (City), met with Cmmr. Wood in Los Angeles. Also present were Jonathan Lakritz, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and Wendy Nowak from the City. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. McClendon and Nowak stated that there can be no development of any project upon the Bolsa Chica Mesa unless the Coastal Commission certifies a Local Coastal Program (LCP) for the property. McClendon and Nowak explained why Hearthside Home's insistence that the City forego participating in the Coastal Commission's hearings on the LCP prevented the parties from reaching closure on a Pre-Annexation Agreement. McClendon and Nowak indicated the City's willingness to serve water to such development project as the Coastal Commission may approve. McClendon and Nowak further explained how the California Environmental Quality Act requires the Commission to deny the applications and select instead the environmentally superior alternative identified in the supplemental environmental impact report.
