A
A
A
So
I'm
going
to
just
start
by
recognizing
the
first
two
that
have
10
years,
suzanne
bellandran
is
on
and
kenny
sullivan.
I
see
has
just
popped
up.
I
do
appreciate
you
guys.
Turning
on
your
cameras,
it's
not
required,
but
we
like
to
see
you
and-
and
I
just
want
to
briefly
run
through
your
histories
with
the
state,
to
recognize
that
suzanne,
you
did
start
with
the
department
of
labor
as
a
program
specialist
in
2011.
A
We
will
now
move
to
kenny
sullivan
kenny
started
with
kcc
in
2011
as
a
petroleum
industry.
Regulatory
technician
in
the
dodge
city
district
and
was
promoted
to
an
environmental
scientist.
3
in
2014
became
a
geology
specialist
in
2015
and
then,
since
2021
he's
been
the
professional
geologist
supervisor
for
district
1..
So
for
both
of
you,
we
we
thank
you
for
your
10
years
of
service.
Hopefully
we'll
see
you
on
the
20
and
30-year
list
at
some
point.
I
think
that
you
probably
have
some
service
time
pins
in
the
mail.
A
If
you
haven't
already
received
them,
we
obviously
can't
hand
them
to
you
today
virtually
but
look
forward
to
that.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
We
will
now
turn
to
paula
murray
paulie.
If
you
want
to
turn
on
your
camera,
you're
welcome,
but
you
don't
have
to.
We
are
recognizing
paula
for
20
years
there
she
is
paula
started
at
the
kcc
as
a
secretary
2
in
2001
in
wichita
and
in
2001.
A
Her
position
was
reallocated
to
become
a
senior
administrative
assistant
and
then
in
2006,
paula
was
promoted
to
an
administrative
specialist
and
then
2011.
She
was
promoted
to
her
current
position
of
legal
assistance
and
so
paulo.
We
do
want
to
recognize
you
for
your
20-year
20
years
of
service
time.
That
is
a
lot
of
dedicated
service
to
the
state
and
look
forward
to
more
time
with
you.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Paula.
A
So
at
this
time
we
have,
we
have
wrapped
up
service
recognitions
and
we're
going
to
move
into
the
commission's
organizational
meeting.
The
first
item
on
the
commission's
annual
organizational
meeting
agenda
is
the
review
and
approval
of
our
schedule
of
commission
meetings
for
the
next
calendar
year.
2022
commissioners,
you
have
seen
the
presentation
of
those
the
meeting
schedule.
B
B
This
is
a
herculean
effort
of
sorts,
because
it's
a
culmination
not
only
in
some
of
the
internal
events
that
are
important
to
the
commission,
but
some
of
the
external
activities
that
we
do
within
network
iogcc
and
the
like,
and
to
amalgamate
all
of
those
things
and
work
through
what
I
think
this
is
by
my
camp.
Third,
the
third
incarnation
of
this.
It
takes
quite
a
bit
of
work
and
quite
a
bit
of
patience
as
well,
so
sally.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
reference.
Thank
you,
chair
french.
A
With
that,
if
there
are
no
questions,
I
suppose
I
can
go
ahead
and
move
that
we
adopt
the
meeting
schedule.
Is
there
a
second
for
that
motion?
Second,
if
there
is
no
discussion
on
the
motion,
those
in
favor,
please
vote
aye,
hi
hi
for
our
next
item.
We
have
review
of
bylaws.
I
don't
believe
there
are
any
proposed
changes
to
the
bylaws,
so
I
will
just
pause
briefly.
A
If
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
about
the
bylaws
hearing
done,
we
will
move
on
to
review
of
the
mid-year
budget
report
for
fiscal
year
22..
I
believe
commissioners
have
all
received
that
in
their
packet
and
again
this
is
not
an
approval
item.
It
is
simply
a
review,
but
this
is
an
opportunity
if
there
are
any
questions
to
ask
them,
so
I
will
again
pause
briefly.
A
I
hear
no
discussion
or
questions
on
the
review
of
the
mid-year
budget.
Next,
we
have
what
is
listed
as
review
and
approval
of
an
updated
commission,
organizational
chart
and
internal
operating
policies
and
plans.
However,
I
think
the
the
approval
part
of
that
is
an
error.
We
actually
have
no
changes
to
our
org
chart
and
no
no
proposed
changes
to
internal
operating
policies
and
plans
at
this
time.
So
I
will
again
just
pause
briefly.
Commissioners:
you've
had
the
opportunity
to
review
these
items.
A
There
are
no
changes
to
adopt,
but
if
you
have
any
questions
or
comments,
now
is
your
time
all
right
hearing
none!
Let
us
move
to
our
final
item,
and
this
is
election
of
a
commissioner
to
serve
as
the
chairperson
until
our
next
organizational
meeting,
and
at
this
time
I
would
entertain
a
motion
and
in
fact
I
would
be
happy
to
make
a
motion.
If
there's
no
objection,
I
would
move
that
we
elect
commissioner
dwight
keane
to
be
the
chairperson
of
the
kansas
corporation
commission.
I
second,
the
motion:
is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion?
C
A
B
B
B
And
transportation
or
motor
carrier
matters,
we
will
continue
regulating
the
commercial
trucking
industry
in
a
manner
that
ensures
maximum
public
safety,
while
also
enabling
the
essential
commerce
that
relies
upon
and
utilizes
these
important
commercial
trucking
resources
in
the
energy
division.
We
will
continue
to
more
effectively
focus
on
its
important
energy
conservation
and
public
education
missions.
B
Certainly
in
the
case
of
inclusiveness,
within
the
bounds
of
the
kansas
open
meetings
act,
we
collectively
share
many
important
responsibilities
significantly,
including
the
optimal
utilization
of
our
most
important
resource,
our
personnel
resources.
In
addition,
we
share
an
important
responsibility
and
our
goal
to
effectively
allocate
and
manage
our
skates.
Our
scarce
fiscal
and
budgeted
resources.
A
You
and-
and
I
I
certainly
can
say,
I
think
those
were
fantastic
remarks
and
and
from
my
perspective
I
I
I
think
you
do
speak
for
all
of
us.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
we
look
forward
to
the
next
year
of
working
with
you
at
this
time.
I
have
no
further
items
listed
on
today's
meeting
agenda
so
if
there
is
no
additional
business
to
come
before
us
this
morning,
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn.
