Carefree Truth

Issue #418, August 24, 2015

 

 

Mayor Les Peterson explained that private utility companies are supervised by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC).  They follow a very strict set of guidelines in terms of costs, qualified expenses, and rates.  The Black Mountain Sewer Corporation, which is owned by Liberty Water, has applied for a rate case hearing.  Mayor Peterson said it behooves the Town of Carefree to participate as an intervener on behalf of all its citizens and businesses.

 

 

 

Only a limited few attorneys are knowledgeable about the operation and rules of the ACC, and know its members.  Scott Wakefield, of the firm Ridenour Hienton, is the leading attorney in the state concerning the workings of the ACC.  He was an ACC judge for almost 10 years, and is now in private practice.  The Mayor worked with Mr. Wakefield for 8 years when he handled the case for the Boulders HOA.  The HOA has released Mr. Wakefield to the Town.

 

 

 

Mayor Peterson asked for a motion to supplement the good efforts of Town Attorney Mike Wright with those of ACC specialist Scott Wakefield in the pending rate case hearing.

The Resolution was unanimously approved.
