Meetings Continued from Cl only will be taken at the formal meetings. Kimball said utility officials, lawyers and others who have an' interest in the items on the agenda will be encouraged to attend the workshops so that they can be questioned by commissioners. "Right now, we can't ask any questions of them until the formal meeting where we're expected to make the final decision," he said. "That doesn't give us a great deal of time to study the issues when we have questions." jThe new meetings are not expected to cause the commission any problems with the open-meeting law, according to Neal Beets, chief counsel to the commission, and Steve Twist, chief assistant state attorney general. Both said they have reviewed the meeting format and as long as the nieeting notices are posted 24 hours irt advance of each session and discussion is limited to agenda items, they will comply with the law.

tI think the meetings will be a big help to the commission by giving them an opportunity to discuss issues with the staff, the 'parties and others," Beets said. "It's going to lead to a better decision-making process."
