MINUTES OF DECISION MEETING
MARCH 10, 2005 – 1:30 P.M.
In attendance were Commissioners Paul Kjellander, Marsha Smith, and Dennis Hansen.
Commissioner Kjellander called the meeting to order. The first order of business was approval of the CONSENT AGENDA, items 1- 9. Commissioner Kjellander noted that item 10 had been pulled because it was a duplicate of item 1. There was no discussion. Commissioner Kjellander made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
The next order of business was MATTERS IN PROGRESS:
Wayne Hart’s March 7, 2005 Decision Memorandum re: Revision to Intrastate PIC Charges to Match New Interstate Charges.
Mr. Hart reviewed his Decision Memo. Commissioner Smith asked for clarification as to who decides if the PIC change can be done electronically—i.e. can the customer go on line and request the change in order to get the cheaper rate or is it something determined internally at the telephone company. Mr. Hart replied that PIC changes are done electronically, company to company, computer to computer. Commissioner Smith confirmed that the customer’s charge depends on how the company handles the request, and she noted that it would be confusing to the customer. She stated the Commission should open a docket.
Commissioner Kjellander made a motion to open a docket and process the case under modified procedure with a 21-day comment period. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
The only other items on the agenda were under FULLY SUBMITTED MATTERS and Commissioner Kjellander stated the Commission would deliberate on those items privately. He then adjourned the meeting.
DATED this ______ day of March, 2005.
