MINUTES OF DECISION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 4, 2003 – 1:30 P.M.

In attendance were Commissioners Paul Kjellander, Dennis Hansen, and Marsha Smith.

Commissioner Kjellander called the meeting to order. The first order of business was approval of the CONSENT AGENDA, items 1—3. Regarding item 2, Commissioner Smith asked if the area had already been designated as allocated to Eagle Water or if it was not yet designated. Rick Sterliing replied that the area is unassigned. Regarding item 3, Commissioner Smith commented on the method being used to allocate the costs of consultant services, and then she moved for approval of the Consent Agenda. A vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously.

The next order of business was MATTERS IN PROGRESS:

Nancy Harman’s September 2, 2003 Decision Memorandum re: Formal Complaint of Global Travel Against Electric Lightwave.

Ms. Harman reviewed her Decision Memo. Commissioner Kjellander stated that the PUC clearly does not have jurisdiction, so there is no sense in moving forward with a formal complaint. He made a motion to take Staff’s recommendation that we do not accept the formal complaint based on the lack of jurisdiction, and that we also take notice of Staff’s recommendations regarding our own rules relating to disconnection. There was no discussion. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.

There was no further business before the Commission, and Commissioner Kjellander adjourned the meeting.

DATED this ______ day of September, 2003.
