PUC Public Engagement scrutiny!
May 14th, 2019
Looks like the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is under scrutiny, that the Office of Legislative Auditor is reviewing its “public engagement.” From the Office of Legislative Auditor:
*****************************************
The Minnesota Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) is seeking input about the Public Utilities Commission’s public engagement processes.
Date: Friday, May 31, 2019
Time: 10:00-11:00 AM
Location: State Office Building, Room 10, 100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155
OLA is beginning a program evaluation of the Public Utilities Commission’s public engagement processes. To help us shape the evaluation, we invite you to share with us your experiences with Public Utilities Commission’s public engagement processes. At this stage in our work, we are still refining the scope of the evaluation and our preliminary research questions, which are:
- What are the Public Utilities Commission’s rules for public participation?
- To what extent does the commission enforce those rules appropriately and consistently?
- How do the commission’s rules affect the extent to which the public can participate in the commission’s decision-making processes?
