Posted with the Secretary of State of Texas for February 16,
2023. We'll now turn it over to the Commission ALJ
for administration of the hearing. Good morning.
(item:8:54597, Hearing to determine temporary manager appointment for Northern Hills Development Company, Inc.) I call to order docket number 54597. Which is the petition
for an Order to Appoint a Temporary Manager for Northern
Hills Development Company, Inc., continuing until the
Commission orders otherwise. This is Katie Marks assisting
Commissioners and the purpose of this hearing is to
determine whether a temporary manager should be appointed.
We had a pre-hearing conference yesterday morning and
I admitted three exhibits. Exhibit one is a copy of
the petition and all attachments. Exhibit two, the affidavit
of Rose Ramirez and all attachments. And Exhibit three,
a copy of the notice of hearing. At this time, we'll
take appearances of the party starting with Commission
Staff. (item:8:Jenna Keller, Commission Staff) Jenna Keller for Commission Staff. Cody Faulk on
behalf of Texas Water Utilities. Have either of y'all
heard anything from the utility or a representative
of the utility since yesterday?

the owner of the system and is attempting to coordinate
taking over temporary management. Okay. Either of y'all

Freitag from the company of Texas Water Utilities is

Commissioners, do y'all have any questions? No. No. Um, closing
