Proceeding Number A.12-04-019 CALIFORNIA-AMERICAN WATER COMPANY’S REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL NOTICE

ABSTRACT: Re: Application of California-American Water Company (U210W) for Approval of the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project and Authorization to Recover All Present and Future Costs in Rates, the CALIFORNIA-AMERICAN WATER COMPANY’S REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL NOTICE document copy is embedded. Pursuant to Rule 13.9 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the California Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”), California-American Water Company respectfully requests the Commission take official notice of the January 2, 2018 correspondence from City of Salinas Mayor Joe Gunter to Mayor Bill Kampe, President of Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority (“MPRWA”).
Rule 13.9 states that "[o]fficial notice may be taken of such matters as may be judicially noticed by the courts of the State of California pursuant to Evidence Code section 450 et seq." Judicial notice of an official act of a city is proper pursuant to Evidence Code section 452(c).1 Here, the January 2, 2018 correspondence issued from the Office of the Mayor of Salinas to Mayor Bill Kampe, President of MPWRA, and provided official notice to MPWRA and others that “it is quite likely there will be no water whatsoever available to augment the 3,5000-acre-feet of recycled water that the Pure Water Monterey project has committed to deliver to the Monterey Peninsula.” The January 2, 2018 correspondence is, therefore, an official act of the City of Salinas and is the proper subject of judicial notice pursuant to Evidence Code section 452(c).
