a: 1 Mr. Hunsberger stated he would be glad to answer any questions. Commissioner Wodtke inquired as to the wording in Mr. Hunsberger's cover letter in Exhibit "H" and asked if Mr. Hunsberger was making everything available today to enable the Board to make a fair rate determination because the last sentence in Mr. Hunsberger's cover letter states: "Accordingly, it does not include all the disclosures required for a fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles." and Mr. Hunsberger advised that basically, the wording in that statement is a standard disclaimer. Commissioner Wodtke wondered if Mr. Hunsberger were representing the Homeowners' Association, would he have prepared his figures in the same way, and Mr. Hunsberger assured the Board that he wants to be fair to both the rate maker and the rate payer. He recalled his past experience as a third party in rate cases, and felt his reputation is such that he tries to be fair to everyone. He emphasized that he does not bring in a packed price with the anticipation of ending up with one half of what he requested. Commissioner Wodtke asked if Mr. Hunsberger had projected any expenses for customer growth and Mr. Hunsberger stated that he had and that was shown in Adjustment #16. Chairman Scurlock asked if there is a base facility charge being charged to each of the lots that are yet to be developed, and Mr. Hunsberger answered that there was not. Chairman Scurlock also asked if Mr. Hunsberger had considered the historical water consumption figures, as Breezy Village seems to have a lower consumption level than the average 5500 gallons per unit consumption found throughout the County. Mr. Hunsberger stated that he had looked back and found that Breezy Village residents use an average of 2000-3000 gallons per unit, and pointed out that most people water their lawns from wells. 12 _I
