MINUTES OF DECISION MEETING
APRIL 8, 2002 – 1:30 PM

In attendance were Commissioners Paul Kjellander, Marsha Smith, and Dennis Hansen.

Commissioner Kjellander called the meeting to order. The first order of business was approval of items 1—5 on the CONSENT AGENDA. Commissioner Kjellander noted there were corrections to item 1 and asked Wayne Hart to explain them. Mr. Hart stated that in his Decision Memorandum under item 3, an additional case number—SPS-T-97-1—needed to be added to reflect that Sprint Spectrum is included in the interconnection agreement with Qwest, Case No. USW-T-97-7. He noted that Case No. QWE-T-02-3 had been on the agenda last week and was already approved, so it did not need to be considered. He said Case No. QWE-T-02-4 amends USW-T-97-8, and he didn’t know why a new case number was assigned. He stated that in his Decision Memorandum under item 15, the case number should be VZN-T-02-1. There was no further discussion. Commissioner Kjellander made a motion to approve items 1—5 on the Consent Agenda and it passed unanimously.

The next order of business was MATTERS IN PROGRESS:

Weldon Stutzman’s April 5, 2002 Decision Memorandum re: Procedural Stipulation Cable One, Idaho Power and Idaho Cable Telecommunications Associates. Case No. GNR-E-01-02.

Commissioner Kjellander stated that the item was self-explanatory. He made a motion to issue an order approving the stipulation filed by the parties, to stay the proceedings in the case, and to issue a Notice of Proceeding to establish a cable television rate for pole attachments to public utility companies’ poles. There was no discussion on the motion. A vote was taken and it carried unanimously.

There were no other items on the agenda and Commissioner Kjellander adjourned the meeting.

DATED this _____ day of April, 2002.
