In attendance were Commissioners Paul Kjellander and Marsha Smith. Commissioner Dennis Hansen was absent and excused.

Commissioner Kjellander called the meeting to order. He noted that item 5 was being moved under the category MATTERS IN PROGRESS.

The first order of business was approval of the CONSENT AGENDA, items 1- 4 and 6 - 9. There was no discussion. Commissioner Kjellander moved 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:

Schunke & Lanspery’s December 16, 2005 Decision Memorandum re: PacifiCorp’s Tariff Advice 05-05 IrrigationLoad Control Program Schedule 72.

Mr. Schunke reviewed the Decision Memo. He stated that PacifiCorp had agreed to leave the language as stated without the change it had originally proposed, thus comporting with staff’s recommendation in the Decision Memo.

Commissioner Smith asked if the tariff advice and staff’s recommendations would resolve Case No. PAC-E-05-01, and Mr. Schunke replied that they would. Commissioner Smith stated that the minutes should reflect the resolution of Case No. PAC-E-05-01and the agenda also should have reflected the case number.

There was no further discussion. Commissioner Kjellander moved for approval of staff’s recommendations in item 5, based on the concurrence of the utility with staff’s recommendations. 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 December, 2005.
