Would them being a utility? Who would attend the training and how many? 45 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:07:34.940 --> 00:07:57.250 I will make that one for three, that we start out with three employees and if they happen to not have, if a excavator happens to not have, three employees, then we'll reduce it.

Do you have, do you have a, a preference on. 48 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:08:20.059 --> 00:08:44.309 My fear is they just pick three people out of the office to attend training that really don't have anything to do with the locating piece that is the reason that we're considering them today and I don't know how to distinguish of who needs to get it the best, the best course of action to get the best results. So I was gonna ask the rest of the members what they thought. 49 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:08:44.309 --> 00:08:49.679 Yeah, I'm good with a minimum of three, so basically is. 50 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:08:49.679 --> 00:09:14.419 To the operator's benefit or to the utilities benefit to select individuals that will impact damaged prevention. If not, then repetitive violations, then it'd be different than the training. So it's to their advantage to select individuals that will make an impact on damaged prevention for the utility. So I'm good with leaving it open for the utility to decide what three. 51 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_4" (3216551936_4) 00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:19.059 Yeah, I make a motion to follow the recommendation of training. 52 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:24.640 Just a second. 53 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:30.859 Chairman Humberville?

Raper, ok, now, Tim Drown. Tim Drown is making his way up. 85 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:43.760 If it's not you can sit next to the slide. 86 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:13:43.760 --> 00:14:04.259 Alright, my name's Tim Drown at the attorney for the board and I wanted to provide an update to the committee on a process that the staff plans to implement to address the outstanding civil penalties for underground damage. I know there's been just some discussion on trying to send those to the collection agency. 87 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:24.259 Or trying to write them off, but before we can do any of that, we have to have a hearing. And the reason we have to have a hearing is, well, two reasons. One, tennessee law requires it, and two, do process laws under the constitution require that before we take any funds from someone, we have to have a give them opportunity to be heard. So we're coming up with a process. 88 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:44.259 That's where it's gonna have to have two processes in the beginning, one to deal with the citations that have already been sent out and one process that's gonna deal with the citations going forward. And hopefully once we deal with the prior citations, we'll just have one process. And what we're planning envisioning is, and, and this is in the early stages, so we're still. 89 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:14:44.259 --> 00:15:14.959 Haven't hammered out the specifics yet. But what we're envisioning is when we send the citations out, it'll be like a parking ticket kind of, just like our normal citations, but the citation will have a notice of a hearing on there. So it already have a date, a time, it will advise them of all the legal requirements that need to be in there to to if they want to be heard, they can appear. And at that date, they'll have a hearing. We'll also send out notices for the prior ones as well for hearings. And so we're gonna work through all these and on that date. 90 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:15:14.959 --> 00:15:34.959 Date, there will be a hearing. If NO one appears, then the administrative law judge can enter an order of default. And at that point, we can record them as accounts receivable and we can send them to a collection agency or if we can't collect, we can write them off. If they do appear, then we, then ALJ can have a hearing, can hear all the evidence. 91 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:54.959 And all the information and then they can enter enter an order. If the ALJ finds that the citation is valid, then the ALJ can enter an order ordering the payment of the funds, and we can send it to a collection agency at that point or eventually write it off if we need to. Another option is we can negotiate. Also, maybe they come in and say, hey. 92 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:15:54.959 --> 00:16:31.859 I can pay this much today, here's some money, and, and we can take that. So we have some opportunities there by setting these hearings. The main thing that this is going to help us do is move these forward because right now we're issuing these citations and some of these are just sitting there and we're not able to collect. And so we need some way to either send them to a collections agency or write them off, and this gives us the ability to do that. So it's going to allow us to have these citations come to a conclusion. So that's what the staff's planning on doing. Is there any questions? 93 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:16:31.859 --> 00:16:48.780 Yeah, we've been talking outstanding balance for a while, so I want to make sure that again the process that you're speaking of now that this is an ongoing process, so is this what you're saying now and is this our consistent process moving forward? 94 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:16:48.780 --> 00:17:18.650 Our goal is, we can still look for informally to try to call them up and get them to pay, but our for our goal is, is to have one process that gets these things moving to some sort of conclusion. So whether that is we send it to collection agency and we're able to collect, they appear and they go ahead and pay the money or when we determine we're not able to collect and we write them off. So there's going to be, we will, we have those options where right now we don't have those options because we not we're not having a hearing. Does that make. 95 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:17:18.650 --> 00:17:23.650 Yeah, I just want to make sure we have a, again, whether it's a documented process, whatever something that is. 96 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:25.150 Yes, we're gonna have that. 97 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_1" (3216551936_1) 00:17:25.650 --> 00:17:46.650 We're yes, we're gonna have a documented process. That's what we're working on, and so we're gonna have to address legal requirements such as notice, how we're gonna send these citations out, what the citations are gonna say. We haven't worked through all that, but I wanted to give you guys an update of, hey, this is what we're planning on doing as opposed to waiting and saying hey we're already doing it. I just want to keep you guys informed on what, what staff is planning on doing. 98 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_3" (3216551936_3) 00:17:46.650 --> 00:17:48.150 Okay, NO, thanks for the update. 99 "DGS-Nashville-2.201-AJB Hearing Room/speaker_2" (3216551936_2) 00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:59.260 And Tim, for the, there will also be a similar process for the older ones.

So the 1st thing goes out. For the older ones, we're gonna have to just send out another notice, so a letter or something. We we've gotta figure out how we're gonna send that out, but we'll do those for the older older ones saying, hey, we're gonna have a hearing on this date. And if you want to be heard, you can appear if you don't want to be heard, I don't know what I'll say exactly, but then an order of default maybe entered, and that'll allow us for those old ones to move them forward as well.
