In attendance were Commissioners Mack Redford, Marsha Smith and Jim Kempton. Commissioner Redford called the meeting to order. The first order of business was approval of MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING on April 21, 2008. The minutes were approved by vote. The second order of business was approval of the CONSENT AGENDA, items 2 - 5. Commissioner Redford stated that some of Decision Memos on the Consent Agenda did not clearly state what action was recommended so the Commission would consider each item separately. Commissioner Kempton added that the way the questions are asked on some of the Consent Agenda items can be responded to with “yes” but on others it is not as clear what a “yes” vote is approving. He said it’s a tiny detail but the Commission is either answering “yes” to the question on each one or there will be a brief discussion if there is some ambiguity in the way the question is stated. The Consent Agenda items were then considered item by item. Regarding item 2, Commissioner Smith made a motion to approve Qwest Corporation’s application for approval of an interconnection agreement with Access Point, Inc. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously. Regarding item 3, Commissioner Kempton made a motion to process Zial’s application for a Title 62 Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity by modified procedure. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously. Regarding item 4, Commissioner Kempton made a motion to approve Idaho Power’s proposed 2008 Extension without further notice or procedure. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously. Regarding item 5, Commissioner Kempton made a motion that the application of PacifiCorp for an accounting order authorizing a regulatory asset be processed by Modified Procedure with comments due June 5, 2008. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously. Commissioner Redford stated that the last item on the agenda, item 6, under the category of FULLY SUBMITTED MATTERS would be deliberated privately. There was no further business before the Commission and Commissioner Redford adjourned the meeting. DATED this ______ day of April, 2008. ____________________________________ COMMISSION SECRETARY
