PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Procedural Rules, notice is hereby given of Rocky Mountain Power’s (RMP or the Company) application requesting an accounting order to defer costs related to repowering wind plants or for alternate relief (Application).
RMP is a public utility as defined in Wyo. Stat. § 37-1-101(a)(vi)(C), subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction pursuant to Wyo. Stat. § 37-2-112.
On December 30, 2019, RMP filed an Application requesting authority to [i] defer for future recovery, the costs associated with the repowering of its Glenrock I, Glenrock III, Rolling Hills, Seven Mile I, Seven Mile II, High Plains, McFadden Ridge, Dunlap, Marengo I, Marengo II and Goodnoe Hills wind facilities (Repowering Project); [ii] defer for future recovery, the costs and benefits associated with the repowering of its Leaning Juniper wind plant; and [iii] alternatively, if the Commission determines that the Repowering Project’s or Leaning Juniper’s costs and the Production Tax Credit (PTC) benefits are not appropriate for deferred accounting, the Company requests an order allowing it to remove the benefits of the Repowering Project and Leaning Juniper from the Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM) until the rate effective date of the Company’s next general rate case.
RMP states it is nearing completion of its Repowering Project and Leaning Juniper and its requested deferral will allow the Company to recover its prudently incurred costs from 2019 and those it will incur in 2020. RMP seeks to record and defer for later recovery, [a] the return on investment; [b] depreciation expense; [c] operation and maintenance costs; [d] property taxes; [e] wind taxes, if assessed; [f] incremental net power costs; and [g] PTC benefits, associated with its Repowering Project and Leaning Juniper, on a monthly basis, beginning when the facilities are placed into service, until rates from the Company’s next general rate case become effective.
RMP states it is seeking to appropriately match the realization by its customers of the benefits from the Repowering Project and Leaning Juniper, through the ECAM. The Company also notes its Repowering Project, and the associated costs, received Commission approval and were found to be in the public interest. Additionally, RMP states the Repowering Project and Leaning Juniper will be subject to a public process in which parties will have an opportunity to review these wind projects and any associated costs.
This is not a complete description of the Application. Interested persons may inspect the Application at the Commission’s offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming during regular business hours. The Application may also be viewed on the Commission’s data management system at https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx.
Anyone desiring to file a public comment, statement, intervention petition, protest or request for a public hearing in this matter must do file with the Commission in writing on or before February 14, 2020. Any intervention request filed with the Commission shall set forth the grounds of the proposed intervention or request for hearing as well as the position and the interest of the petitioner in this proceeding.
If you wish to intervene in this matter or request a public hearing which you will attend and you require reasonable accommodation for a disability, call the Commission at (307) 777-7427 or write to the Commission, 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002.

Budget hearings were scheduled for June 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The March 24th, June 3rd, October 20th, and November 17th meetings will be held at the Marbleton Town Hall. The 2020 schedule was adopted upon motion from Commissioner Bousman, seconded by Commissioner Rawhouser. Motion carried.
Billy Pape, Road and Bridge Superintendent, met with the Board to update activities. He also advised the Board he had been contacted by Dave Smith and instructed to clear the way for the buildings going to the tower areas at Hogsback and Kismet. He stated he believed winter is not an optimal time to undertake such tasks as doing so presents danger to personnel and equipment and will damage a newly constructed fence. Chairman Burnett said Dave Smith is scheduled to meet with the Board later in the morning and requested Pape come back to the meeting at that time for discussion.
Mike Jackson, representing Rio Verde Engineering, updated the Board on rock quantities for December.
Eric Sackett, also representing Rio Verde Engineering, updated the Board on Lysimeter project with the bid due on January 20.
Lee Wright, FCC Construction, met with the Board with a request to borrow from the County’s stockpile of rocks for the Tom Brown River Project. He stated his client had received approval to place the rocks in the river to prevent it from changing its current trajectory but the approval came after Wright could access his BLM permit to get rocks. He stated the rocks would be replaced in the spring. County Attorney, Mike Crosson, said he would like to research the Statutes regarding converting county property to private use. It was moved by Commissioner Bousman, seconded by Commissioner Noble to table the discussion until the County Attorney can make a determination. Motion carried.
Matt Gaffney, County Administrator, met with the Board to request approval of public advertisement for the sale of the 1969 Kaiser Wildland Fire Unit. Commissioner Noble made the motion to approve the advertisement, Commissioner Bousman seconded. Motion carried.
Dave Smith, Dave’s Electronics, met with the Board to provide information about the future needs of the Dispatch center. He stated the current location is less than ideal for the scope of the project. Sheriff Lehr joined the discussion to support Smith’s argument. After discussion, Sheriff Lehr was instructed to assemble interested parties and come back to the Board with numbers and suggestions.
Pape joined Smith to resume the discussion on the transport of the buildings for the Kismet and Hogsback tower sites. Smith said he agreed with Pape about the timing and would look into other options. He later suggested to the Board, the Kismet site could be postponed and the building used for the Luman tower with minimal cost to change out some of the equipment installed. Chairman Burnett instructed Smith to proceed with that plan.
Jeness Saxton, County Assessor, met with the Board to submit a letter of resignation effective February 29, 2020. All Board members thanked her for her many years of service and dedication. Members of the public and the Board expressed their appreciation in a round of applause. Chairman Burnett said he would accept her letter.

Old Business:
Commissioner Noble said he had talked to Kelly Crane and the open position at the Extension Office had not been filled internally and is now open for outside applications. Commissioner Noble, Commissioner Vickrey and County Administrator Matt Gaffney were directed to participate in the interviews of potential applicants.
He had also attended a meeting with the Lee Ditch Association with more meetings to come.
Commissioner Vickrey and Commissioner Rawhouser had nothing to report.
Commissioner Bousman said he is still participating in the good neighbor authority project with a conference call scheduled the next day. He has several other meetings in the future. Commissioner Bousman said he wanted to address the newspaper comment regarding the Magistrate appointment at the last Commissioner meeting and his lack of declaring a conflict of interest. He wanted the record to reflect he did not believe the discussion was about the two individuals Judge Haws appointed but was about his obligation to bring his appointments to the County for approval. His vote was to support the Judge in his right to appoint whoever he wants to appoint. He also said he believes the Statute needs to be updated to reflect the current Judicial process as opposed to what it was intended to address when it was initiated.
Public Comment:
Betty Fear said she could only hear the Chairman because he was speaking into the microphone but could not hear comments by the rest of the Board. Dawn Ballou from Pinedale Online agreed with Ms. Fear.
Dave Doorn, Sublette County Rural Health Care District, and Sharon Rutsch, met with the Board for a brief update of activities.

Commissioner Rawhouser seconded the motion. After discussion, Chairman Burnett called for the vote. Commissioner Noble and Commissioner Rawhouser voted yes, Chairman Burnett and Commissioner Bousman voted nay. Commissioner Vickrey abstained from the vote. Motion failed.
It was moved by Commissioner Bousman to support, in concept, moving together in a joint effort between the Board of County Commissioners, the Sublette County Rural Health Care District, and the Sublette Center, in an effort to improve the quality of health care in Sublette County. Commissioner Rawhouser seconded the motion. Motion carried.
County Clerk, Carrie Long, reminded the Chairman the agenda request from Dave Doorn was a quick 15-minute update on activities. She stated she did not believe it was fair to the citizens of Sublette County to be misled by the agenda when a Commissioner had planned to make a motion involving $20 million tax payer dollars.
Commissioner Vickrey presented the Board with a list of ideas regarding live streaming the Commission meetings. He requested permission to talk to Information Technology, Mike Christie, about researching live streaming options.
No further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:25 P.M.
