UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO:FROM: <br />ERMU Commission Mike Tietz –Technical Services Superintendent <br />MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />February 8, 2022 6.1i <br />SUBJECT: <br />Staff Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None <br />DISCUSSION: <br />• In January, the locators processed 107 locate tickets. These consisted of 4 emergency <br />tickets, 70 normal tickets, 2 non-excavation tickets, 26 updated tickets, 1 cancellation, 1 <br />boundary survey and 3 locate meets. This resulted in a 40.6% decrease intickets from <br />the previous month and an 21.9% decrease fromthe prior January. The locators <br />continue to GPS and validate data for our electric GIS maps during the winter months. <br /> <br />• Electrical technicians completed 192 service order tasks, updated the power bill, <br />attended to customer meter issues and off-peak concerns. <br /> <br />• On January 20, staff ran generators #1, #2, #3 & #4. Engine #3 produced considerable <br />smoke within the power plant so I have decided to suspend its operation until further <br />notice. It may still be used if an emergency requires it. <br /> <br />• Mapping department experienced a setback after an unsuccessful integration with the <br />third-party vendor software we purchased in 2021. Staff will continue to utilize our base <br />ESRI products to provide mapping solutions for the field staff as we look for better ways <br />to tie our databases together. <br /> <br />• The substation apparatus technician has been getting quotes on the replacement relay <br />panel for the West substation and investigating communication equipment for the <br />substation. <br /> <br />• We received a quote from a vendor to replace the damaged interior in Truck #17 for less <br />than our insurance deductible. I am confident that this local vendor can repair the truck <br />in a timely fashion. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />108 <br />
