Subject: Sutter Pointe General Rate Case Memorandum Account
PURPOSE
GSWC is seeking authorization to modify its Preliminary Statement, to add Part PPPP, to
reflect the establishment and implementation of the Sutter Pointe General Rate Case
Memorandum Account (SPGRCMA). The purpose of the SPGRCMA is to track the costs
associated with preparing, filing, processing and litigating its initial detailed stand-alone
General Rate Case (GRC) for Sutter Pointe.
BACKGROUND
On June 26, 2014, the Commission issued Decision No. (D.) 14-06-051, which granted
GSWC a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) to construct and operate a
municipal and industrial water system, and to establish a new non-contiguous service area
and rates in the southern and unincorporated portion of Sutter County, within a new
South Sutter County Service Area to be established within the Natomas’ corporate
boundaries of Sutter County, known as the Sutter Pointe Specific Plan area.1
1 Ordering Paragraph No. 1 in D.14-06-051.
Advice Letter No. 1867-W -2- December 6, 2021
Furthermore, D. 14-06-051 requires GSWC to file an initial general rate case for South
Sutter County before starting construction of the distribution or “in tract” infrastructure
associated with the South Sutter County Service Area. The GRC must include full
documentation and justifications of all of the underlying sources of data and assumptions
it relies on in order to develop its initial general rate case for filing, as a detailed stand-
alone general rate case filing (separate and apart from GSWC’s regular company-wide
GRC filing).2
In addition, D. 14-06-051 established that GSWC is entitled to recover past, present and
future costs in rates in connection with the proposed water system, subject to further
prudence review by the Commission.3 Though the Commission found that GSWC is
entitled to recover past, present and future costs after prudence review by the
Commission, the Commission overlooked the necessity to provide a mechanism to track
these costs in order that they could be presented to the Commission for the prudence
review. This is the specific and sole purpose of this memorandum account request. A
memorandum account allows the Commission to consider recovery of utility expenses that
have occurred in the past without incurring retroactive ratemaking.4
STATUS OF PROJECT
GSWC has been advised by South Sutter County that it is ready to proceed with the
development of the project and construction of the distribution or “in tract” infrastructure
associated with the South Sutter County Service Area will begin in the near future. GSWC
is requesting a memorandum account to track the costs, other than those already included
in rates, associated with preparing, filing, processing and litigating its initial detailed
stand-alone general rate case for Sutter Pointe.
GSWC anticipates filing its Sutter Pointe stand-alone GRC Proposed Application in the
first half of 2022. In order to meet this filing date, GSWC has begun preparation of the
stand-alone GRC.
MEMORANDUM ACCOUNT JUSTIFICATION
In accordance with the Commission’s Standard Practice U-27-W, establishing a memorandum
account is conditional and must meet each of the following five criteria, which have been met
by GSWC.
1. The event is not under the utility's control.
2 Id. Conclusions of Law 20, 21; Ordering Paragraph Nos. 9, 10 and 12
3 Id. Finding of Fact 18
4 Standard Practice U-27.
Advice Letter No. 1867-W -3- December 6, 2021
The developer has full control over the decision on when to proceed with the
development within the Sutter Pointe Specific Plan area based on its business
plan and the economic conditions in the area.
2. The event could not have been reasonably foreseen in the
utility's last general rate case.
GSWC filed its General Rate Case to set rates for 2022-2024 in July 2020. At
that time, GSWC could not have reasonably foreseen that it would incur
costs associated with the Sutter Pointe stand-alone GRC in 2022 and 2023.
As stated, GSWC was not in control as to when development would start
and the need to construct the “in tract” infrastructure would arise. Even if
GSWC did know when the need to construct the “in tract” infrastructure
would arise, D.14-06-051 specifically ordered that this filing be a “stand-
alone general rate case filing (separate and apart from Golden State’s
regular company-wide general rate case filing)”5. (Emphasis added).
GSWC was ordered not to include anything related to its initial Sutter
Pointe GRC in its “regular company-wide general rate case filing”.
3. The event occurred before the utility's next scheduled rate case.
GSWC is near the end of its company-wide GRC, A.20-07-012,
establishing rates for 2022, 2023 and 2024. On November 23, 2021, GSWC
filed a Motion to Adopt the Settlement Agreement with the Commission.
Its next GRC will not be filed until 2023. GSWC needs to start the
preparation of the Sutter Pointe GRC in order to file the Proposed
Application in this matter in the first half of 2022. The next Sutter Pointe
GRC will be filed as part of GSWC’s 2023 company-wide general rate
case filing.
4. The event is of a substantial nature in that the amount of
money involved is worth the effort of processing a memo
account.
D.14-06-051 established and ordered that GSWC must file a detailed general
rate case filing using its first year of service as the proposed test year, which
includes full documentation and justifications of all of the underlying
sources of data and assumptions it relies on in order to develop its initial
general rate case for filing, as a detailed stand-alone general rate case filing
(separate and apart from GSWC’s regular company-wide general rate case
filing) and comply with the requirements set forth in D. 07-05-062.6
5 D.14-06-051 Conclusions of Law 20; Ordering Paragraph No. 9
6 D.14-06-051 Conclusions of Law 20, 21; Ordering Paragraph Nos 9,10 and 12
Advice Letter No. 1867-W -4- December 6, 2021
The Commission was clear that this filing must be complete and well
supported. As stated in Decision 07-05-062 “[t]he utility bears the burden of
proving that its proposed rate increase is justified and must include in the
proposed application and supporting testimony, all information and analysis
necessary to meet this burden.”7 The filing will be a complete GRC with
testimony, work papers, supporting documentation and “Minimum Data
Requirements” in compliance with D. 07-05-062. After the Application is
submitted to the Commission, GSWC will be required to respond to an
unknown amount of data requests. In addition, given that the Public
Advocates Office (formerly DRA) did not join the settlement in GWC’s
Application 08-08-022, which resulted in D. 14-06-051, there is a strong
likelihood that hearings will be required.
GSWC believes that the dollars involved could exceed $800,000 and are of a
substantial nature that the amount of money involved is worth the effort of
processing a memorandum account. GSWC will require the use of
consulting and legal services for this filing.
5. The Memorandum Account has ratepayer benefits.
GSWC diligently and proactively worked with the Sutter County officials,
elected leaders, community members as well as Natomas to ensure that four
key local objectives are met: protection and preservation of the local
agricultural economy; provision of the best possible M&I service within the
Natomas service area; enhancement of regional job creation efforts and
respect to taxpayers; and a proven commitment to Sutter County.
In D.14-06-051, the Commission considered the community values in
evaluating GSWC’s Application. The Commission concluded the Proposed
Project is, indeed, consistent with community values, will not adversely
affect recreational and park areas, is consistent with historical uses of the
Project Site and community aesthetic values, and will not have a significant
adverse influence on the environment.8 The Commission has determined
that it is in the benefit of the ratepayers for GSWC to provide water service to
the customers in the unincorporated portion of Sutter County, within a new
South Sutter County Service Area.

Advice Letter No. 1867-W -5- December 6, 2021
MEMORANDUM ACCOUNT TREATMENT
GSWC is aware that a memorandum account is not a guarantee of eventual recovery of
expenses, nor is it carried as a regular account under the uniform system of accounts for
water utilities. It is carried "off the books" as a memorandum account. Further, it is also
known that Commission policy on memorandum account treatment has always been that
the burden of proof of the reasonableness of expenses charged to the account is the
responsibility of the utility requesting reimbursement of such expenses.
REVISIONS TO PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
GSWC proposes to revise its Preliminary Statement to include Part PPPP, Sutter Pointe
General Rate Case Memorandum Account (SPGRCMA). The purpose of the SPGRCMA is
to record expenses for the preparation, filing and processing of the initial Sutter Pointe
stand-alone General Rate Case Application. These expenses include, but are not limited
to, legal expenses, consulting costs and noticing costs.
COMMISSION STANDARD PRACTICE U-27
The following excerpts are from the Commission’s Standard Practice U-27:
-6. Memorandum (Memo) Account. A memo account is an accounting device that, after approval
by the Commission or upon statutory notice, may be used by a utility to record various expenses it
incurs. The utility may later seek authorization from the Commission to recover the recorded
amounts by passing them on to consumers in rates. The establishment of a memo account does not
guarantee that the utility will recoup the tracked amount, but a utility is precluded from recovering
amounts not booked to a memo account. Memo accounts allow the Commission to consider recovery
of utility expenses that have occurred in the past without incurring retroactive ratemaking.2
Footnote 2 The retroactive ratemaking doctrine prohibits the Commission from authorizing
or requiring a utility to adjust current rates to make up for past errors in projections. If a
utility includes an estimate of certain costs in its rates and subsequently finds out that the
estimate was too low, it cannot adjust future rates to "recoup past losses." City of Piqua v.
FERC, 610 F.2d 950, 954 (D.C. Cir. 1979) (quoting Nader v. FCC, 520 F.2d 182, 202 (D.C.
Cir. 1975)).
-26. A memo account is not recorded in the utility’s accounting books; it represents an off-book
accounting record. Trackable costs are recorded in the memo account, and they are also recorded in
the accounting records normally, in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts. For
example, costs normally expensed would continue to be expensed in the accounting records even
though a memo account is set up to track these costs for potential future recovery. Memo accounts
track a) expenses, b) the carrying cost and depreciation on capital investments, and c) offsetting
revenues, such as insurance proceeds, from the effective date of the account.
-27. Memo accounts may be requested by a Tier 2 advice letter. In order to qualify for mem o
account treatment, the costs must be due to events of an exceptional nature that:21
a. are not under the utility’s control,
Advice Letter No. 1867-W -6- December 6, 2021
b. could not have been reasonably foreseen in the utility’s last general rate case,
c. and that will occur before the utility’s next scheduled rate case,22
d. are of a substantial nature such that the amount of money involved is worth the effort of
processing a memo account and
e. have ratepayer benefits.23
Footnote 21 For example, a memo account to book legal costs to fight a takeover by a potentially incompetent entity
might have ratepayer benefits, but a memo account to book legal costs to fight a takeover by a competent water district
would not.
-36. A Tier 2 advice letter requesting the establishment of a memorandum account does not have to
be noticed because there is no change in rates. The notice will be required when the utility requests
recovery of the memorandum account.
The request in this advice letter is consistent with the aforementioned Commission directives
found in Standard Practice U-27.
TARIFF CHANGES
This advice letter will not increase any rate or charge, cause the withdrawal of service, or
conflict with any other schedule, or rule.
TIER DESIGNATION
This advice letter has a Tier 2 designation.
EFFECTIVE DATE
GSWC is requesting this advice letter become effective on the date this advice letter is filed.
CUSTOMER NOTICE
Pursuant to Water Industry Rule No. 3.2 in the Commission’s General Order 96-B, this
advice letter does not require a customer notice nor a customer notice verification.
However, a customer notice will be required when GSWC requests recovery of this
memorandum account.
RESPONSE OR PROTEST
Anyone may submit a response or protest for this Advice Letter (AL). When submitting a
response or protest, please include the utility name and advice letter number in the
subject line.
A response supports the filing and may contain information that proves useful to the
Commission in evaluating the AL. A protest objects to the AL in whole or in part and must
set forth the specific grounds on which it is based. These grounds are:
1. The utility did not properly serve or give notice of the AL;
Advice Letter No. 1867-W -7- December 6, 2021
2. The relief requested in the AL would violate statute or Commission order, or is not
authorized by statute or Commission order on which the utility relies;
3. The analysis, calculations, or data in the AL contain material error or omissions;
4. The relief requested in the AL is pending before the Commission in a formal
proceeding; or
5. The relief requested in the AL requires consideration in a formal hearing, or is
otherwise inappropriate for the AL process; or
6. The relief requested in the AL is unjust, unreasonable, or discriminatory, provided
that such a protest may not be made where it would require re-litigating a prior
order of the Commission.
A protest may not rely on policy objections to an AL where the relief requested in the AL
follows rules or directions established by statute or Commission order applicable to the
utility. A protest shall provide citations or proofs where available to allow staff to properly
consider the protest.
Water Division (WD) must receive a response or protest via email (or postal mail) within
20 days of the date the AL is filed. When submitting a response or protest, please include
the utility name and advice letter number in the subject line.
