A
A
Good
morning
this
is
chairman,
french
and
I
am
convening
the
regular
business
meeting
of
the
kansas
corporation
commission,
scheduled
for
thursday
january
28th
at
10
a.m.
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues,
commissioner,
keane
and
commissioner
duffy
at
this
time.
We
have
a
consent
agenda
and
we
have
one
noticed
item
and
we
have
an
employee
recognition
event
as
well.
A
A
C
A
D
Good
morning,
commissioners,
good
morning
on
december,
30,
2020
average
kansas
metro
filed
his
2021
advent
tax
surcharge
request.
Every
metro
requested
a
surcharge
of
4.9
million
dollars,
which
is
an
increase
of
2.7
from
last
year's
writer.
The
proposed
surcharge
would
be
in
effect
during
the
period
of
february
2021
through
january
2022.
D
The
proposed
adverb
tax
surcharge
writer
factor
would
increase
kansas
residential
customer
bills
by
83
cents
per
month,
and
that
is
9.96
annually,
based
on
the
average
residential
customer
staff,
have
reviewed,
evergy,
metro's,
2020
ad
alarm
tax
statements
in
support
of
the
ad
valorem
tax
expense
claimed
in
the
application,
and
the
tax
statements
match.
Those
in
the
application
staff
recommends
approval
of
the
surcharge,
and
I
will
stand
for
questions.
A
E
D
Yeah,
I
think
I've
had
all
of
these,
so
I'm
here
like
every
day
but
yeah.
I
think
this
is
the
last
one
I
have,
I
think,
there's
some
ad
valorem
for
some
co-ops
that
don't
have
kcc
jurisdictional
residential
customers,
so
we
won't
notice
those.
I
believe,
but
this
will
be
the
last
one
I
believe
for
the
year.
D
A
A
A
E
B
B
B
G
G
So
when
I
was
asked
this
morning
to
think
of
some
words
to
say
about
bill
first,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
and
I'm
glad
to
do
it
and
it
wasn't
very
difficult
to
come
up
with
some
nice
things
to
say
so.
You
know
bill
just
a
few
things
here,
but
you
know
bill
is
extremely
hard
working
and
I
mean
he
he
never.
He
absolutely
never
turns
down
a
request
or
an
assignment
or
a
challenge.
G
G
Not
I
mean
you
all
know
this,
but
bill
is
an
actively
licensed
cpa,
which
is
a
designation
that
he
goes
to
great
personal
expense
and
time
to
to
continue
to
maintain
that
designation
and
and
we're
the
sort
of
lucky
side
beneficiaries.
Of
that
you
know,
bill
is
obviously
dedicated.
He
cares
deeply
about
his
work.
G
You
know
I
I
I
won't
echo
this
the
comments
of
commissioner
duffy,
but
it's
accurate.
You
know
he
he's
always
willing
to
help
others
learn.
I
can
assure
you
that
there
is
not
a
purchase
gas
adjustment,
audit
or
an
energy
cost
adjustment
audit
that
has
occurred
in
the
last.
You
know,
18
years
that
didn't
have
bill's
fingerprints
on
it
in
some
form
or
fashion.
G
We
all
today,
we
all
use
the
indexing
and
organizational
methods
that
bill
has
taught
us
through
those
audits
and
and
that's
because
it's
best
in
class
and
nobody's
come
up
with
a
better
one.
So
and
then
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
going
to
come
at
great
personal
cost
to
bill,
and
so
I'm
I'm
sorry
bill
bill
is
also
our
resident
small
water
utility
expert.
G
You
know
is
a
distinction
that
has
come
at
at
the
cost
of
many
days
spent
in
the
trenches
working
on
these
on
these
small
cases,
and
anybody
that's
had
any
experience
with
those
knows
how
difficult
they
can
be
and
that's
why
we
assign
bill
to
those
cases
because
they
take
dedication
and
time
and
and
and
care
and
and
bill
has
all
of
those
things
so
anyway,
I
can't
think
of
anything
else.
Thank
you
sincerely
for
the
last
20
years
of
your
work.
G
A
B
I
did
not
know
that
that
bill
did
the
water.
I
was
asked
from
kdhe
who
who
did
our
water
audits,
because
they
were
so
impressed
at
the
level
of
deep
detail
and
didn't
realize
that
we
had
somebody
really
doing
that
now.
I
know
so,
but
I
won't
share
your
name.
Okay,
you'll
remain
incognito
on
that
all
right,
but
good
to
know.
A
F
Well,
it's
nice
to
work.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
no!
Okay,
it's
nice
to
work
at
the
commission
all
these
years.
It
doesn't
feel
like
20
years
at
all,
but
it's
just
so
nice
to
be
able
to
work
with
so
many
other
people
who
we
we
train,
everybody
we
we
get
to
share.
I
get
to.
I
get
other
people
as
as
resources,
so
it's
nice
to
go
talk
to
somebody
else
and
find
out
what
their
opinion
is
or
how
they
do
it
or
something
or
ask
for
help
from
them.
A
F
F
H
D
A
All
right:
well,
let's
move
on
to
sherry,
sherry
eisenberg.
I
understand
this
is
your
five
year,
so
you're
gonna
have
you
know
15
more
to
get
to
the
bill
celebration,
but
I
I
no
doubt
we'll
get
there,
but
we
are
here
to
recognize
your
five
years.
You
came
to
us
here
at
the
kcc
in
2016,
in
your
current
position
with
ca
pacp
as
a
program
consultant
and-
and
let
me
just
say,
it
is
really
important
to
have
good
resources
like
you
in
those
positions,
because
that
that
is
our
connection
to
the
public.
A
I
can't
think
of
a
more
vitally
important
thing,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
all
serve
the
people
of
kansas,
and
so
it's
really
important
to
have
a
connection
to
them
and
also
to
communicate
to
them.
You
know
what
we're
doing
here
and
and
what
our
utilities
and
regulated
industries
are
doing.
So
thank
you
for
your
five
years.
I'm
going
to
turn
it
to
commissioner
keane
first.
If
he
has
any
comments.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
sherry.
I
would
echo
all
the
sentiments
expressed
by
chair
french,
maybe
say
the
same
thing
slightly
differently,
not
better
just
differently
that
to
me
of
the
division
that
you're
a
part
of
here,
consumer
public
affairs
and
consumer
protection,
that
is
the
public
face
of
the
commission
to
so
many
people.
It's
the
it's
the
primary
contact
point
with
the
commission.
E
For
so
many
reasons-
and
I
I
I
know
we're
all
all
of
us
throughout
the
commission-
and
certainly
the
commissioners-
are
grateful
for
all
the
contributions
that
this
division
generally
and
you
specifically
make
to
that
outreach
effort.
It's
it's
very
important,
as
chair
french
indicated
here,
to
serve
the
public
and
I
think,
through
your
activities,
you
demonstrate
that
that's
what
your
commitment
is
too.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
service
here.
B
B
B
Those
are
things
that
are
hallmarks
of
customer
service
and
I
know
linda
has
instituted
that
among
all
of
you,
but
I
just
your
joyous
expression
has
stayed
with
me
and
I
really
I
I
was
like
just
shocked
in
a
good
way
and
I
was
so
excited
that
you're
on
the
team
and
linda
has
shared
that
you
were
a
very
good
ad.
So
again,
thank
you
and
I'm
glad
you've
reached
your
five
years
party
time.
So
thank
you
very
much.
H
H
What
I
admired
my
admire
most
about
sheri
is
how
she
deals
with
people,
whether
it's
on
the
phone
at
a
public
hearing
or
another
event,
she's
very
kind,
she's
patient,
and
she
really
has
a
sincere
desire
to
help
people
and-
and
it
really
shows
it
comes
through
in
her
interactions
with
with
our
consumers
and
she's,
also
very
helpful
to
other
team
members
anytime.
Someone
has
a
question
or
needs
help,
or
something
needs
to
be
done.
She's,
she's,
right
there
ready
to
help
and
in
any
way
she
can
so
on
behalf
of
our
entire
staff.

C
C
A
Thank
you,
sherry
and
congratulations
to
both
you
and
bill
and
really
a
big.
Thank
you
to
you
and
bill
for
being.
Here
I
mean
the
service
recognition
is,
is
well
and
good,
but
it
it
indicates
that
you've
stuck
with
us
and
and
you've
been
good
public
servants
for
all
that
time,
and-
and
we
really
do
thank
you
for
that.
So
thank
you
again.
