In October 2002, the Commission Staff was notified by the Idaho Telecommunications Relay Service Administrator, Mr. Bob Dunbar, that he might exceed the annual compensation amount of his TRS contract with the Commission. Mr. Dunbar has already experienced an increased workload this year by taking Idaho s TRS program through the re-certification process required every five years by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In addition Idaho s TRS program is due for an independent audit, further adding to Mr. Dunbar s work hours this year. Section 4.1 of Mr. Dunbar s contract with the Commission states that the Administrator compensation shall not exceed the annual amount "without the express written permission of the Commission." Mr. Dunbar estimates that his added responsibilities will require him to exceed his contracted annual compensation by approximately $1 700. Staff believes this added expense is available from the Idaho TRS Fund. DECISION MEMORANDUM OCTOBER 24, 2002
