There was no discussion and Commissioner Kjellander moved for approval of 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 December 8, 2006 Decision Memorandum re: CenturyTel Tariff Advice Introducing Charge for Additional Copy of Bill, CenturyTel of Idaho Advice No. 06-06 and CenturyTel of the Gem State Advice No. 06-05. Mr. Hart stated this matter was a continued consideration of an item that was previously on the agenda in mid-December. He said at that time there had been some questions raised about how this request differed from a Citizens Telecommunications billing option whereby customers are charged for receiving both electronic and paper copies of bills. He stated that this tariff advice is different in that it is for customers who elect to have an extra copy or have lost a copy of their bill. He said he thought staff had now clarified that difference. Commissioner Hansen stated that he had concerns previously but after reviewing the matter could now support the company’s request. Commissioner Smith moved for approval of the CenturyTel tariff advices introducing a charge for an additional copy of a bill. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously. The only other item on the agenda was under the category of FULLY SUBMITTED MATTERS and Commissioner Kjellander stated the Commission would deliberate on it privately. He then adjourned the meeting.
