One of the tickets was an emergency <br />locate and one was a boundary survey. One of our locators, Jeff Murray, <br />put on a locating training (in house) for the field crews. Everyone <br />benefitted from this. He did a great job! <br />2. The Metering Department continues with weekly and monthly substation <br />checks, changing out meters to the radio read meters, and doing the <br />monthly power bill. <br />3. The Security Systems Department had a total of 47 phone contacts, S <br />personal visits, 5 systems quoted, 8 sales made, 12 installs completed and <br />22 service calls for the month of January. <br />4. Map books continue to be updated daily as crews add or change items in <br />them. We are getting ready for printing a new edition. <br />5. Power Plant staff has performed the monthly run of the generators and <br />everything looked good. <br />6. Staff continues work on the written lock-out tag-out procedures for each <br />piece of equipment in the power plant. Steve Zeimer is also working on <br />the testing of the sensors on each generator and getting them set to specs. <br />
