Chairman Scurlock noted that he has been trying to take some guidance from Attorney Brandenburg and ask him whether he is allowing enough testimony or too much. He did believe the.Commission is ready to hear the Hutchinson Utilities side and make a determination although he realized that Intervener White wishes to read all this into the record. Mr. Aiello emphasized that eight months ago he supplied everything the Property Owners Association had asked for re expenses they questioned, as well as everything the County asked for. He continued that he made several attempts to have Mr. White contact him so that he could sit with his group. Mr. White would not do so until he felt he was ready. Mr. Aiello did not feel today is the day to do that and pointed out that they have been here since 9:00 A.M. and they still aren't even 50o through their presentation nor been allowed to do so and that is all he is asking. Intervener White wished the record to show that he has met with Mr. Aiello on two occasions. Chairman Scurlock asked the County Attorney how much testimony he should continue to allow. Attorney Brandenburg noted that the issue in front of the Commission now is the rate increase that was advertised. Earlier the Board dealt with the current rate structure and indicated the current rates would be interim rates from this day forward, agreed that a study would be made and then a hearing held with regard to those rates. Therefore, all issues relating to the current rate structure are really irrelevant at this point and discussion now should be limited to the proposed rate structure. Intervener White wanted an exception noted on the record that his question was denied. Attorney Micale called John Testone, CPA, who was sworn in by Court Reporter Zambataro.
