We have three commission meetings this week. We go over all three agendas and throw in a bit of discussion about legislator tours.

In this video, we take a very brief tour of the parts of the Arizona Corporation Commission that I work with on a daily basis. This is not a complete look but gives you some of the things that may not be seen every day.
Lots of updates today, including changes the City of Tucson is imposing on the TEP Franchise agreement, an update on the Rio Verde Foothills water issue, some updates on legislative efforts, what the Feds are trying to impose with PFOS chemicals, and some good news on the El Paso Natural Gas Pipeline reopening!
Lots of discussion at the open meeting this week about something called “regulatory lag”. We discuss what it is and how it affects the ratepayers.
We talk a little about the swearing-in ceremony from yesterday, our first Open Meeting next week, and our first Staff Meeting. The big item on this agenda is the Southwest Gas Rate Case which has been highly discussed.
This video discusses the various types of meetings at the Commission and what exactly is done in Executive Sessions. Then we cover the agenda for the swearing-in on January 3, 2023, and I will give you a little insight into my portion.
Welcome to my new series entitled “Commission Chat”! This will be a combination of live streams and recorded videos. First, I want to start providing the items coming up at the commission meetings and a recap after the Open Meetings. I will also try to do live updates in the future where we get other people in to discuss what is happening and give you all an opportunity to chat with them in real-time!
In this first video, I also review some of the AZCC website and how to navigate to get the agendas and videos, both live and archived, for yourself. Feedback is always appreciated! If you have any video/live requests, please make sure to send that to me. Of course, if you have any questions about something in these videos, please feel free to ask!
