September 28, 2009 – 1:30 P.M.
In attendance were Commissioners Jim Kempton and Marsha Smith. Commissioner Mack Redford was absent and excused.
Commissioner Kempton called the meeting to order. The first order of business was approval of MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING on September 21, 2009. A vote was taken to approve the minutes as written.
The second order of business was approval of the CONSENT AGENDA:
2. Bryan Lanspery's September 25, 2009 Decision Memorandum re: Idaho Power Company Tariff Advice No. 09-09 - Modifications to Schedule 9 and Schedule 19.
The Commission voted unanimously to accept the Company’s revision in wording for Schedules 9 and 19 as it relates to calculation of non-salvable cost and directed the Company to file a separate tariff advice to modify the language in Schedules 24 and 46 so all schedules that may face these costs are treated equitably. 3. Chris Hecht's September 24, 2009 Decision Memorandum re: Spirit Lake East Water Company Tariff Advice.
The Commission voted unanimously to suspend the effective date of Spirit Lake’s tariff advice and initiate a case to be processed under modified procedure with a 14-day comment period. Commissioner Kempton clarified that the shorter comment period was appropriate in this case rather than the usual 21-day comment period. 4.

Mr. Howell reviewed his Decision Memo. There was no discussion.

The remaining items 7 – 9 were under the category of FULLY SUBMITTED MATTERS and Commissioner Kempton stated they would be deliberated privately.
There was no further business and Commissioner Kempton adjourned the meeting.
