Per 7826.0100(A),municipal utilities are exempt from these requirements. However,the ERMU Commission adopted a number of parts of this chapter as a Distribution Reliability Standard policy requiring annual reporting on system reliability. Wade Lovelette presented the 2014 Electric Reliability Report. In 2014, our reliability numbers remained excellent. The reliability index numbers reflect the condition of our robust electrical system as well as the superb response time from our local line crews. This also reflects the local accountability, long term visioning on the system design, and ongoing system maintenance. There was further discussion. The Commission requested staff bring back a comparison of our utility with other public power utilities in our region. 5.3 Performance Metrics Update Theresa Slominski presented the Performance Metrics fourth quarter update. Staff is on target for all metrics except one;the CAIDI reliability metric. CAIDI is the average outage duration, or average restoration time.

At the close of the fiscal 2014 year, and completion of the audit,the final score card will be evaluated and presented to the Commission for awarding the related incentive compensation in 2015. John Dietz had a question on what percentage the bonus would be based on the preliminary score card.
