NOVEMBER 25, 2002 – 1:30 P.M.
(SUBJECT TO COMMISSION APPROVAL)
In attendance were Commissioners Paul Kjellander, Dennis Hansen, and Marsha Smith.
Commissioner Kjellander called the meeting to order. The first order of business was approval of items 1—14 on the CONSENT AGENDA. Commissioner Kjellander asked if there were any comments or questions on any of the items. He stated he had a question regarding item 11 and asked if the Commission had received any comments from contractors. Lisa Nordstrom replied that the Commission did not receive any comments, although we had mailed the notice to a broad list. Regarding item 12, Commissioner Smith noted we had received a last minute fax from Avista commenting on the case. She said that since we use the interest rate on deposits for other purposes, she questioned if we should address Avista’s concerns separately. Commissioner Kjellander stated he preferred to deal with it separately down the road. There was no further discussion. Commissioner Kjellander made a motion to approve Consent Agenda items 1—14. A vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously.
The next order of business was MATTERS IN PROGRESS:
Doug Cooley’s November 21, 2002 Decision Memorandum re: EAS Service to Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Emmett, New Plymouth, Weiser and Payette; and Ontario, Vale and Oregon Slope. Case No. GNR-T-00-30.
Mr. Cooley reviewed his Decision Memo. Commissioner Hansen commented that he didn’t see any benefit to Idaho customers, and he moved that the Commission dismiss the petition. A vote was taken on the motion and it carried unanimously.
Commissioner Kjellander stated that items 16, 17 and 18 under MATTERS IN PROGRESS would be deliberated privately. He then adjourned the meeting.
DATED this _____ day of November, 2002.
