In attendance were Commissioners Jim Kempton, Marsha Smith and Mack Redford.
Commissioner Kempton called the meeting to order. The first order of business was approval of MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING on April 6, 2009. The minutes were approved by vote.
The second order of business was approval of the CONSENT AGENDA:
2. Neil Price’s April 10, 2009 Decision Memorandum re: Application of NET TALK.COM, INC. for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, Case No. NTA-T-08-01.
There was no discussion on this item and the Commission voted unanimously to approve Staff’s recommendation to process the case by modified procedure.
The third order of business was MATTERS IN PROGRESS:
3. David Hattaway’s April 13, 2009 Decision Memorandum re: Calculating the 2009 Regulatory Fee Assessments for Public Utilities and Railroads, Case Nos. F-2009-1 and F-2009-2.
Mr. Hattaway reviewed his Decision Memo. Commissioner Redford asked if there will be a new assessment if the Legislature changes any of the numbers. Mr. Hattaway replied that the law requires the calculations to be done by April 15th, and if something changes, we will have to draw on our fund, but there is enough money to handle it. Commissioner Kempton stated the Commission is aware of the $1 million we are pulling out of the reserve going forward. Commissioner Smith made a motion to accept Staff’s budget proposal and calculations. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
Commissioner Kempton stated that item 4 under FULLY SUBMITTED MATTERS would be deliberated in a separate meeting. There was no further business before the Commission and Commissioner Kempton adjourned the meeting.
DATED this ______ day of April, 2009.
