2/20/2025  R Nazario

This morning a subcommittee meeting was held for  HF 241   A bill for an act relating to utilities commission member attendance at hearings and informational meetings, was held and I had a chance to view the meeting online.

I didn’t think about recording the mtg until almost the end.  I captured an audio clip as Chairman Holt was giving his final comments.

He spoke after all the landowners, a lobbyist and his colleagues.  All were in favor of the passage of this bill.

Subject Matter:  IUC Commissioners are not Attending the Informational Meetings and many times during the phase 1 Fort Dodge hearings they were MIA, Missing in Action/ABSENT!

Rep Holt mentions hearing about the commissioners absence from informational meetings directly from Speaker Pat Grassley.
