Gee……..I wonder who has the ability to tap into this brain wave frequency? Any guesses?

Notice this study appeared in “Epilepsy and Behavior.”

It’s time to stop using your smart phone in public and exposing people to harmful frequencies. What you’re doing to yourself when you text on your smart phone should remain a private matter.

1. APS states that these fees are needed to “recover costs of manual meter readings.” APS, however, fails to list and enumerate their cost savings from firing several hundred manual meter readers, and the associated fuel, maintenance, and repair costs of the vehicles they previously used to make manual meter readings of several hundred thousand APS customers.

2. Additionally, those of us who were aware they could, comprising 30% of Sedona’s population, have maintained our analog electronic meters, so APS never installed smart meters unless it was without home owners’ consents.

3. These cost savings should more than offset any costs of manually reading the meters of the few thousand customers who opted out.

Thank you!

APS concludes the total stated base rate increase is 15%, and the net customer bill impact is 5.74%.

The egregious opt-out fees APS requested:

$70 one-time set-up fee
$15 per month meter-reading-fee

Item 8.b. on the Tuesday, June 28, 2016 Regular City Council Agenda states: “Discussion on this matter is intended to elicit direction from Council on what, if any, role the City of Sedona may take in the rate case, either directly or indirectly.”

“AARP utilities advocacy here in Arizona must be, as elsewhere, in compliance with AARP’s national policy and our local resource limitations. AARP’s national utility policy, available online at http://policybook.aarp.org/, Chapter 10 “Utilities: Telecommunications, Energy and Other Services” includes the following:

Policymakers should prohibit mandatory or opt-out time-of-use metering and billing program. Policymakers in states that adopt an opt-out approach should ensure the following protections:

Residential customers should be able to opt-out of having a smart meter installed. Customers who opt out of a smart meter should either retain their current analog meter OR receive a non-communicating digital meter, depending on which option policymakers deem to be most cost effective.

A utility should have the opportunity to recover from customers who opt out of smart meters only the just and reasonable costs that result from their decision, as long as those costs have not already been recovered in rates and the utility has taken steps to minimize their costs. Cost recovery should be in the form of a one-time fee (if a field visit is required) and a monthly meter- reading fee to reflect the non-standard meter-reading process.

The initial cost charged to customers who opt-out should incorporate the so-called “exit fee” that would cover any costs, not already included in rates, that are incurred when terminating service at a location so that the next customer of record will not incur additional charges to install a smart meter upon request.

A lower cost for implementing the opt-out meter option should be provided for low-income customers that are identified through the utilityʼs existing low-income ratepayer assistance program or, where such programs are not available, through a customer’s participation in LIHEAP.

The approved opt-out program should be conspicuously disclosed to all customers prior to installation of a smart meter, and through additional educational materials for those customers whose meter has already been installed.

At this time AARP’s utility advocacy priority here in Arizona is defeating the proposed mandatory demand charge in the current APS rate case, the voluminous case you too referenced in your email. AARP believes this first in the nation mandatory demand charge will make utility bills unpredictable and reduce residential consumers ability to control their electric expenses to 1/3 of their bill. A particularly serious aspect to those on fixed incomes. Mandatory demand charges, should APS succeed in getting them approved, will apply to approximately 1 million APS customers, and may trigger approval in other states.
