A state panel is expected to nominate candidates for two spots on the Florida Public Service Commission after conducting interviews Aug. 28 in Miami.

The Florida Public Service Commission Nominating Council last month chose 16 applicants to interview for the positions, including former state Rep. Dave Murzin, R-Pensacola, PSC member Julie Brown, and term-limited state Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City.

The nominations will go to Gov. Rick Scott, who will make the two appointments to four-year terms on the utility-regulatory commission.

The current terms of Brown and Commissioner Eduardo Balbis will expire in January. While Brown is seeking reappointment, Balbis decided against applying for another term.

The Aug. 28 meeting will start at 10 a.m. at Miami International Airport Hotel, according to a notice issued Monday.
