UPDATE:  Ron Weitzman: Expenditure secrecy fuels water deal heat 
By Ron Weitzman, Guest commentary The Monterey County Herald
Ron Weitzman is president of Water Ratepayers Association of the Monterey Peninsula, formerly WaterPlus.

ABSTRACT: The Public Utilities Commission of the State of California, according to Public Agenda 3352, was scheduled to consider Consent Agenda Item 3 (page 5), Thursday, February 26, 2015, namely Settlement Agreement between California-American Water Company, the County of Monterey, and the Monterey County Water Resources Agency. Agenda Changes include Item 3, HELD TO 3/12/15, HELD BY Sandoval, REASON Further Review. The Public Utilities Commission of the State of California Public Agenda 3352 document, PROPOSED DECISION OF ALJ WILSON and AGENDA CHANGES document are embedded. The proposed settlement “calls for Cal Am to recoup $1.9 million from customers to cover costs it advanced to the county, with the county agreeing to waive a local ordinance and allow Cal Am to build its own plant without partnering with a public agency.” Importantly, PUC’s Office of Ratepayer Advocates “argued ratepayers shouldn’t be on the hook when the Peninsula’s biggest water provider has already spent $30 million of customer money on desal proposals that never panned out,” according to reporting in The Monterey County Herald.
