Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. At this point, if you’re a returning reader, you already know the drill. I’m going to run a lot of great new business-related information by you. Usually the weekly roundup includes plenty of chamber meet-ups and events, but I also have a variety of local business updates coming your way. The first comes in the form of a classic Goodyear business that recently changed locations. This week’s listing will give both an insight on how to manage your own business or even just where you can ensure you are served a good, quality meal. But enough with the dilly-dallying; here’s the news! First on today’s agenda – Sukie’s Bridal, Tux & Alterations recently moved to a new location on Monday, October 2. This clothing shop is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Sukie’s is closed on Sundays. The store is holding an official grand opening ceremony at 3 p.m. Monday, October 23. Sukie’s, which has been in the West Valley for over 14 years, provides custom alterations and rentals for tuxedoes, suits and bridal attire. The company also sells formal wear, and can service a variety of occasions including proms and weddings. The new loca-

Whether you’re interested in traditional thin crust, pan or deep-dish pizzas, or even an Italian beef sandwich, this famed Chicago eatery arguably never disappoints, and it continues to grow its presence throughout the (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

According to company officials, Goodyear Red Lobster exhibits the company’s seven core values: respect, integrity, genuine caring, hospitality, teamwork, excellence and fun.

Prior to accepting this position, she served as the area director of sales and marketing for multiple organizations, including the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort, the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa, and Sunshine Suites Resort, the final two of which are located in the Cayman Islands!

Wigwam is located at 300 Wigwam Boulevard, Litchfield Park. “My Feet Are Killing Me!” – that is something we’ve all probably said at some point. Well, that phrase is the theme and title of this special event. To round out this week’s tidbits, the Southwest Chamber of Commerce is holding a Lunch N Learn from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, November 7. As you may be aware, Lunch N Learn is a reoccurring event with the Southwest Chamber. This edition, chamber member Foot Solutions Goodyear’s staff will discuss how to properly fit your shoes and improve the support they provide for the rest of your body. And as the title implies, Lunch N Learn is great way to network, eat a good lunch and learn from or about the local business community. This public event is free, and will be located at the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading!

Division (“Staff”) has not yet made a recommendation regarding the application. The Commission is not bound by the proposals made by Liberty, Staff, or any intervenors. The Commission will issue a Decision regarding the application following consideration of testimony and evidence presented by all parties at an evidentiary hearing. How You Can View or Obtain a Copy of the Application Copies of the application are available from Liberty at its offices, 12725 W. Indian School Rd., Suite D101, Avondale, AZ 85392, and on the Internet via its website, www.libertyutilities. com; at the Commission’s Docket Control Center at 1200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona, for public inspection during regular business hours; and on the Commission’s website (www.azcc.gov) using the e-Docket function. Arizona Corporation Commission Public Hearing Information The Commission will hold a hearing on this matter beginning December 19, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. at the Commission’s offices, 1200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85007.

You may choose to subscribe to an RSS feed for this case using the e-Docket function. About Intervention The law provides for an open public hearing at which, under appropriate circumstances, interested persons may intervene. An interested person may be granted intervention if the outcome of the case will directly and substantially impact the person, and the person’s intervention will not unduly broaden the issues in the case. Intervention, among other things, entitles a party to present sworn evidence at hearing and to crossexamine other parties’ witnesses. However, failure to intervene will not preclude any interested person or entity from appearing at the hearing and providing public comment on the application or from filing written comments in the record of the case. To request intervention, you must file an original and 13 hard
copies of a written request to intervene with Docket Control, 1200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85007, no later than November 17, 2017 . You also must serve a copy of the request to intervene on each party of record, on the same day that you file the request to intervene with the Commission. Information about intervention and sample intervention requests are available on the Commission’s website (www.azcc.gov) using the “Intervention in Utility Cases” link. Your request to intervene must contain the following: 1, Your name, address, and telephone number, and the name, address, and telephone number of any person upon whom service of documents is to be made, if not yourself; 2. A reference to Docket No. SW-01428A-17-0259; 3. A short statement explaining: a. Your interest in the proceeding (e.g., an owner of property in the proposed extension area, etc.), b. How you will be directly and substantially affected by the outcome of the case, and c. Why your intervention will not unduly broaden the issues in the case; 4. A statement certifying that you have served a copy of the request to intervene on the utility or its attorney and all other parties of record in the case; and 5. If you are not represented by an attorney who is an active member of the Arizona State Bar, and you are not representing yourself as an individual, sufficient information and any appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with Arizona Supreme Court Rules 31, 38, 39, and 42, as applicable. The granting of motions to intervene shall be governed by A.A.C. R14-3-105, except that all motions to intervene must be filed on or before November 17, 2017. ADA/Equal Access Information The Commission does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission to its public meetings.
