Absent: Commissioner Bergin - 1 Excused: None. The Chair directed the Commission to proceed to the next order of business, Communications. CHR. ADAMS: Moving in to Communications, we have our Communication 6.1 which has to do with proposed submission, and approval protocol, and timeline First Reading Report and Second and Final Reading. Is there any discussion on this? Okay, then I will start. The purpose of this particular communication is to talk briefly about the scheduling of the Commission's work in May and June essentially, so by our rules, there is a First Reading Report that is prepared by our Analyst prior to our meeting that would be considering those items that have made it through First Reading prior to our considering that for Second Reading. So you will notice that in this particular agenda we had no Second Reading items so even though we had had some things that had gone through First Reading. So the idea is that we will... we have some new proposals for Initial Approval and we have some items that made it through Initial Approval in our previous regular meeting that we will be considering for First Reading in our May Meeting, we will then consider the remainder of those things, those Initial Approvals that have made it through Initial Approval here for First Reading in the May meeting. We will then between that meeting date and our June, one of our June meetings, where we receive a First Reading Report and will report on all of the items that we have considered and have voted on twice and have approved through First Reading. And so that is what our rules call for. Given that, we have then looked at the timelines associated with the meetings. The idea being that May 17th which we had chatted about previously, would be an opportunity for us to have our next, or to have our May regular meeting and then we would have two meetings in June, when the purpose of that would be to have the First Reading Report between the May 17th meeting and the first June meeting which for the sake of argument we could say is Friday the 7th. We would then have the opportunity at that point to consider all of those items for Second Reading, Second and Final Reading. We then would take whatever has made it through that and develop the Final Report which we would then as a body approve, that would then go back to, which would then be Page 24
