So, so that, that will be helpful while Houston is out Do we have, anybody else on staff here for an update? 41 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:05:41.489 --> 00:05:44.410 Nope? 42 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_7" (3216551936_7) 00:05:44.910 --> 00:05:46.959 Instead of meetings. 43 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:52.750 That is on the agenda other day. Yeah. 44 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:05:53.250 --> 00:06:01.100 Thank you. Alright. 45 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:06:01.100 --> 00:06:13.839 Alright moving along, the next will be the elections. We have two seats for the executive committee, the chairman and the vice chairman as well, and I believe Tim's coming up for us. 46 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_6" (3216551936_6) 00:06:24.820 --> 00:06:37.739 As I said earlier, my name's Tim Drown. I'm an attorney for the board, and my job is to provide a legal counsel to you guys and to provide advise you on potential legal risks so you guys can make informed decisions. 47 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_6" (3216551936_6) 00:06:37.739 --> 00:06:57.739 And we're, you're about to vote on or make nominations for elections regarding the executive committee. And one of the things that the execu committee does is they assess civil penalties on, on citizens and people, and that's gonna get a little bit higher scrutiny than some of the other decisions that are made because we're taking funds from people. 48 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_6" (3216551936_6) 00:06:57.739 --> 00:07:19.909 And do process requirements apply, and one of the requirements of due process is a fair and impartial hearing, and I'm not suggesting, let me be abundantly clear that I'm not suggesting anyone in here would not be fair or impartial, but it does not matter what I know, it only matters what say an attorney could convince a judge. And if another attorney can convince. 49 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_6" (3216551936_6) 00:07:19.909 --> 00:07:45.649 Once the judge that the hearing wasn't fair and partial, then the judge could order that the funds be paid back. And so that's a risk. I'm not trying to convince you or sway your decision one way or the other or tell you to nominate or not nominate. That's not my role. My role is to advise you of the potential legal risk. So I'm just saying that is a legal risk. Now, what are some potential conflicts that can come up for a judge or someone who's trying to make that determination? 50 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_6" (3216551936_6) 00:07:45.649 --> 00:08:06.070 If they are associated with or know a person who could receive funds from that judgment or that determination, that would obviously be a conflict or if they provide information or know the witness or is a witness, that would obviously be a conflict as well. So that's. 51 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_6" (3216551936_6) 00:08:06.570 --> 00:08:16.750 Risk that exists, and I'm I'm not again not trying to sway anybody, just telling you that that's a risk. So that's all my only comment. 52 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:08:16.750 --> 00:08:23.989 Thank you.

I forgot. Miss chair, vice chairman Henderson asked me to discuss this. We discussed it in the executive committee meeting and he asked me to mention it to the board. There are 14 consent agreements that have not been compliant. 149 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:18:03.919 --> 00:18:15.239 With and I am referring those to attorney John Smith for enforcement of those. 150 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:18:15.989 --> 00:18:17.989 What did I say? 151 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:18:18.489 --> 00:18:34.020 You know it's not a meeting what it's not a meeting if I don't get someone's name wrong. Alright, next. 152 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:18:34.020 --> 00:18:38.819 Next on the agenda is the legislative update. 153 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:18:39.569 --> 00:18:42.150 Who's doing that? 154 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:18:42.150 --> 00:18:46.640 Yeah, come on. 155 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:18:48.390 --> 00:19:05.279 Thank you for reminding me of that. While Tim is making his way up, I John is in the back. He was up front for the executive committee, but John, if you just wanna wave your hands so everyone. 156 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:20.670 Once I call him by the wrong name, now it's forever gonna be wrong. Alright. 157 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:19:20.670 --> 00:19:39.329 Okay. Tim Schwartz public utility commission. As far as the appointments go, I don't have anything new to share other than I talked to Russell, the chief Clerk at the Senate, Bluetonint Gilder McNally, who is not running again, but he's still. 158 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:19:39.329 --> 00:19:57.149 Making appointments right now, so I'm gonna reach out to him again. I approached speaker's office and mcnally's office about four or six weeks ago, but I don't have an update from them. I'm gonna follow up and, see if we can make something happen before the next meeting in October. 159 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:19:57.149 --> 00:20:13.829 Legislatively, we are having ongoing talks with TGA and we're gonna continue that this afternoon with TGA and 811 and I think the idea would be hopefully to have a draft of some kind of language to share with the board. 160 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:20:13.829 --> 00:20:29.780 That's the October meeting, but, we still have a lot of work to do. And that's my update. 161 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:20:29.780 --> 00:20:34.939 Any questions for Tim? 162 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:20:34.939 --> 00:20:38.290 How many actual vacancies are we? 163 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:20:38.290 --> 00:21:16.199 Well There's three vacancies, three open positions, and then there's several whose terms have expired. I have one five whose terms have expired and three vacancies. The good thing about terms that even though they've expired, you all get to continue to serve until reappointed. So that's not a real issue, but it'd be nice to get them reappointed because some of the terms haven't been expired for quite a while. 164 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:21:16.199 --> 00:21:17.449 Thank you. Yes. 165 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:21:17.449 --> 00:21:17.949 Sure could. 166 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:21:17.949 --> 00:21:27.949 Could you elaborate a little bit more on the talks with TGA and about about the legislate that you're having with them and kind of what that, what those discussions are? 167 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:21:28.449 --> 00:21:30.449 As much as you can. Sure. 168 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:21:30.449 --> 00:22:04.030 Sure. So from the commission's perspective, we are looking, we're kind of, we liked the, the statue that Indiana has. So we were kind of modeling what we were gonna recommend based on what Indiana has and it's gas specific, but they do have an executive committee, kind of like the one that the damaged prevention board has, very similar in structure. But what we envision is is kind of two fold. 169 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_6" (3216551936_6) 00:22:04.030 --> 00:22:04.530 It would. 170 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:22:04.530 --> 00:22:18.149 We would continue to have this board, but also have a gas specific board that dealt because of the volume, there's gonna be so much volume if it one's permissive, which is this permissive complaint. 171 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:22:18.149 --> 00:22:42.920 Driven program, and then what we are proposing, like what Indiana has is a mandatory review of these damages and making that gas only. And that's kind of what we're looking at and then I know TJ is looking at it and we're gonna hear from them this afternoon and kind of get their thoughts on what, what they're thinking. 172 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:22:49.979 --> 00:22:52.260 Any other questions? 173 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:22:54.800 --> 00:22:56.050 Thank you Tim. 174 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:22:56.050 --> 00:23:11.419 Sorry, not to step on Tim's toes, I wanted to make sure that Tim had an opportunity to answer questions. Craig Ingram Tennessee 811. Tennessee 811 plans to move forward with the legislative items that were approved in concept of past enforcement board meetings. 175 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:23:11.419 --> 00:23:28.540 And we're continuing to work with the stakeholders involved to try to address some of the concerns that existed last time around. So much like the mandatory reporting side of the legislation, it's a work in progress and we'll keep you updated to future meetings. 176 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:23:28.540 --> 00:23:38.819 Thank you, Craig. Next on the agenda is Craig again, update on Tennessee 811. 177 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:23:38.819 --> 00:24:04.619 Thank you. So you got the training report as usual, I think that it largely speaks for itself. I will note that in some of our recent months, of particular note is July where we had 26 folks that completed training in the month. We're actually starting to see that more people complete training with the three people ordered to training instead of one person, and. 178 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:24:04.619 --> 00:24:21.149 I'm Glad to see that some people are moving forward and complying with the training order. So that brings us up to 81 individuals trained for the year so far and as of the time of this report, we had totaled 1111 folks in total that have gone through training. 179 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:24:21.149 --> 00:24:25.479 Any questions? 180 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:24:25.479 --> 00:24:26.729 Hey Craig. 181 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:24:27.229 --> 00:24:42.229 Milton Henderson. Craig in the executive board meeting this morning, we had some conversation around individuals showing up for training. Can you kind of provide a little bit of context around individuals that you are seeing that are coming to training? 182 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:24:42.229 --> 00:24:54.619 Is it kind of the individuals that are not involved? Individuals, they're just sending somebody just to fill a seat or individuals that are, I guess part of damaged prevention. 183 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:24:54.619 --> 00:25:20.909 I would say that it's a mixed bag. Part of it is that we don't have a lot of insight into the particulars of any given case, why they were found in violation, what the dynamics were. We are aware of the root cause attached to that complaint when they were found in violation, but again, not much more detail than that. So we don't really have the insight to be able to say, ok, this person was directly involved unless they proactively just kind of share their story with us. 184 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:25:20.909 --> 00:25:37.199 That being said, I feel like it's, it's kind of wide ranging. Sometimes it is equipment operators, it's a mix of labors and crew leaders. It's office staff who put in locate requests. There's a surprising number that. 185 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:25:37.199 --> 00:25:57.199 Agree to the consent agreement to send three people through training and then do not have three employees because they're a sole proprietor or just a really small family business and so then we have to kind of coach them through, ok, you need to reach back out to the public utility commission, communicate the nature of your staffing limitations, if you will, that kind of thing. 186 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:25:57.199 --> 00:25:59.869 So that's been our experience thus far. 187 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:25:59.869 --> 00:26:07.420 Thank you. 188 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:40.229 Well it's good to hear that it is kind of a balance. I was, I was starting to worry after this much time that it was gonna be more lopsided, so it's good that we've got a lot of operations involved too. Thank you. Any other questions for Craig?

So just that update from Tim around the process. 231 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:33:08.180 --> 00:33:08.930 This process. 232 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:33:16.199 --> 00:33:17.949 No deadline to work it out. 233 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:33:17.949 --> 00:33:29.949 Yeah, but we can you know in the package you you're telling us what the outstanding balance is and nothing else.

Okay, so we'll put an update on the new hearing process. Yes. Okay. All right. 235 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:56.516 Anything else? Next on the agenda is a public comment. Is anyone in the public that'd like to make comments? 236 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:33:56.516 --> 00:33:59.300 I have a question. 237 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:33:59.300 --> 00:34:00.894 Go ahead. 238 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:34:00.894 --> 00:34:29.339 I was un I'm unable to hear the board members. I think that's who is I can't hear, I can hear the staff members very loud. It's distorted, but I the only way I know that the board members are saying something is that it's kind of obvious when a staff member is responding to there's a period of silence and then the staff members said something that's obviously response to something they've heard, but I can't hear it over this Webex. 239 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:34:29.339 --> 00:34:44.579 But I'm calling about the fact that there was a complaint file against the excavator.

Is anybody there? 241 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:35:00.032 --> 00:35:02.875 Yes sir.

I'm with T Pok staff. 244 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:35:08.735 --> 00:35:35.069 I've talked to you before, as a matter of fact Stacey, but my question is the excavator who came over to my house last December, to find the water leak that was caused by Dixon electrics installation of fiber optics was ratted out to you guys by the very subcontractor who caused the damage. 245 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:35:35.069 --> 00:35:54.359 I mean I'm just I'm just amazing appall that you guys would keep him under investigation for six months based on a, a bogus claim, which is facially bogus. 246 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:35:54.359 --> 00:36:06.199 I so I'm asking what's the, what is the result of this is what I'm asking. What's the conclusion? 247 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:07.449 Do you have the. 248 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:36:09.375 --> 00:36:11.294 Go ahead.

And. 251 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:36:21.892 --> 00:36:25.142 Also sir, if you could state your name for the record. 252 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_5" (3216551936_5) 00:36:25.142 --> 00:36:25.692 Sorry James. 253 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:36:25.692 --> 00:36:34.949 Henry Jane. Victory Tennessee. Yeah. 254 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:36:34.949 --> 00:36:51.479 So now the guy doesn't want to do any work on my farm because he thinks he's gonna be ratted out even though what he did was in compliance with your regulations as I read them. So I'm trying to find out what you guys His name was Jason Albert. 255 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:36:51.479 --> 00:36:59.552 26 004I don't have the case number. 256 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:36:59.552 --> 00:37:05.213 Okay, oh, bear with me just 1 s this. 257 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:37:05.213 --> 00:37:06.717 Should find it. 258 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:37:06.717 --> 00:37:13.956 This was actually on today's agenda for the executive committee meeting. 259 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:37:13.956 --> 00:37:25.950 Okay, I couldn't hear enough of that to tell, and I can't find the case number, but you found it, right? Yes. Okay, what's the disposition of this case? 260 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:37:25.950 --> 00:37:47.294 The executive committee heard it this morning at their meeting at 10:00 and that is file number EB 0004 and, they decided that one will be administratively closed. Okay. So that, that complaint is closed. 261 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:37:47.294 --> 00:38:03.239 It's amazing to me that the guy would be in Spence for six months waiting for an outcome of something that could cost him nearly a thousand dollars I mean just as Delayed is justice denied. There's NO, there's NO excuse for that. 262 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:21.870 If you guys can't adjudicate these any faster than that, then you need to get out of this business because waiting five or six months now I can't get anybody over here. Everybody's afraid to come over here that's gonna be ratted out and I've got trees that need to be planted and dug up this fall. 263 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:38:21.870 --> 00:38:38.160 And words out that that contractors are using the your reporting system against other competitors. So let me put it that way. I've seen it with my own eyes. 264 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:38:38.160 --> 00:38:56.040 So anyway, it's it's from my perspective, I don't know what goods you think you're, you guys are doing because the guy that, that you adjudicated today was over here 6 December at the request of the utility. 265 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:38:56.040 --> 00:39:14.640 The find the water leak that their fiber off the con subcontractors last July and to keep from having to pay for it, the subcontractor claimed that the guy who dug it up and found the leak. 266 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:39:14.640 --> 00:39:31.740 Because whereas we have the records from the water department that show that the leaks started in July and ended on 8 December. So it's. 267 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:39:31.740 --> 00:39:47.399 So who am I supposed to call now to get work done over here since they're now afraid that they're going to get a thousand dollar time if they dig on my property? 268 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:39:47.399 --> 00:40:06.690 I'm not entirely sure how to answer that question. The best, the only advice that I can say is that the way the law is written is it is a complaint based system and anyone can file a complaint under the the way the the law reads and it. 269 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:40:06.690 --> 00:40:34.293 It's on the website, I think you've already mentioned you've read and they can file the complaint, whether it's a utility, it's against a utility or against a contract or against a homeowner. And if there was damage that occurred or NO notifications made, those are our, actual complaints that can be filed and there is a due process and it does unfortunately take time for the investigators to get the. 270 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:40:34.293 --> 00:40:54.679 You didn't get the iron that the subcontractor who did the damage, he also didn't file, is the one who reported the guy who dug it up and found the problem, the problem. I mean you see the irony there? 271 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:56.929 I can't control. Why don't you. 272 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_7" (3216551936_7) 00:40:56.929 --> 00:41:02.832 System to be abused, that's what I'm saying. 273 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:41:02.832 --> 00:41:19.110 It it's it's you ought to adopt some kind of penalties for completely bogus complaints because this one, this whole purpose of this was to get out of paying for the damages. 274 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:41:19.110 --> 00:41:35.370 Done by the subcontractors, so I I don't know what to tell you other than this ain't working. 275 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:41:35.370 --> 00:41:53.220 I mean it maybe the way the law's written but then there's a poorly drafted law because I don't think you should be able to file a false police report or a false with the government agency. I don't think you should, I think that. 276 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:41:53.220 --> 00:42:08.820 That should always be subject to some kind of penalty if you file a false report, but anyway, that is. 277 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:26.490 It's a, it's it's it just create a big sneaking mess here at several several ways. It's cost me thousands of dollars and now the guy who has been doing our tree planting. 278 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:42:26.490 --> 00:42:42.720 And, working on offenses and so forth doesn't want to come over here anymore, so it's it's. 279 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:42:42.720 --> 00:43:03.090 The director related to the five months that the utility board sat on this without and and proposed the nearly a thousand dollar penalty that kept him awake, so. 280 "6158****91" (1547231744) 00:43:03.090 --> 00:43:30.314 Thanks a lot. I'm done talking to you guys because obviously you you've got a bureaucratic way of of dealing with what you've been handed and you only have to meet every six months or nine months or whatever it is, and whatever happens in the meantime aint your problem, so I get it. Well, thank you very much. I've set my peace. 281 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:53.770 Are there any other public comments? Nope. Nope. Don't see any. That concludes our agenda for this meeting. Is there a motion? 282 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:43:55.770 --> 00:43:58.770 I don't think we need a roll call vote for that one. 283 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:43:58.770 --> 00:44:03.210 Thank you for your time, everyone, and we'll see you in the next meeting.
