FY2021–2024 Wastewater Pre-Proceeding Meetings
This section contains summaries of Rate Commission Pre-Proceeding meetings and all materials distributed during these sessions. Summaries and materials are listed in chronological order.
The Rate Commission meets several times before MSD formally submits a rate proposal for consideration. These pre-proceeding meetings provide the Commission time to prepare for its review. These activities include the sitting of new commissioners, the election of Commission officers, engaging legal and rate consulting services, establishing a schedule of public hearings to be held throughout the proceedings and the adopting of rules and procedures to be used during its review.
