Friday,March 29,Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT)will temporarily
close all main lanes of the Loop 288 underpass at Interstate 35E. This closure will
allow crews to safely deconstruct the existing bridge on the southbound side of the
I35E bridge over Loop 288, and to place drainage across Loop 288 on the
northbound side. Weather and contractor scheduling may impact the plan, but
TxDOT expects to reopen all lanes by 6:00 a.m. Monday, April 1. TxDOT will
have signed detours for traffic on Loop 288,Lillian Miller Road and both Frontage
Roads. Staff contact: Stephanie Yates, Public Affairs
B. Work Session on Homelessness— Staff has been working closely with the United
Way of Denton County (UWDC) and non-profit providers following the work
session presentation from the Shelter Planning Workgroup in December 2018.
Staff is developing options to expand the service level of the current shelter
environment as well as other options to strengthen the housing crisis response
system for Council consideration. Staff had tentatively scheduled the work session
for April 16, 2019; however, the work session has been moved to May to allow
time to meet with key stakeholders,the county,and follow-up with the workgroup.
We appreciate the patience and flexibility as staff prepares for this work session.

C. Unauthorized Curb Paint- Community Improvement Services (CIS) has received
complaints regarding painted curbs in front of private residences along West Oak,
Marietta, Jagoe, and Norma. Staff has researched the reported curb painting and
confirmed that the paint was not applied by City staff or contractors. Since the
curb paint was applied without City permission and could cause confusion
between efforts the City has in place to paint curbs near fire hydrants and for other
safety purposes, CIS will notify residents with the attached courtesy letter that
arrangements have been made for a City contractor to cover the unauthorized curb
paint. The letter will be sent out on Monday, April 1. The contractor will first
address painted curbing along West Oak Street in April and will then move to
Marietta, Jagoe, and Norma once the work on West Oak Street is completed. CIS
has identified 34 total properties with unauthorized curb paint. Attached are
example photos of the unauthorized curb paint that has been identified. Staff
contact: Brad Lahart, Fire and Rachel Wood, City Manager's Office
D. Animal Services 50+ Cat Rescue Status — On March 25, 2019, Animal Services
was contacted regarding a property that was suspected to be housing multiple cats.
After Denton Animal Services (DAS) assessed the property, staff collaborated
with the Denton Fire Department and the Humane Society of North Texas(HSNT)
2
on the effort to safely start removing the animals. HSNT provided an air-
conditioned truck for safe transport of the animals. As of March 28, 59 cats have
been removed from the home. HSNT has rescued 39 cats and DAS rescued 20.
Due to poor health conditions, 3 cats have been humanely euthanized. The
remaining 17 cats are at the Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center and
are being assessed and treated by a Veterinarian. Staff is continuing to remove cats
from the property that are in the walls and attic. Partnering with HSNT has been
critical to address the immediate needs of the animals. This is a great example of
collaboration between agencies to best help the people and animals in the situation.
Our goal is to continue to remove all animals from the property as quickly as
possible, assess their condition and help them find a new home. Once the cats are
rehabilitated, they will be available for adoption. Staff contact: Tiffany Thomson,

E. Denton Public Library wins Texas Library Association Branding Iron Award —
The Texas Library Association (TLA) announced that the Denton Public Library
has won the 2019 Branding Iron Award for Advertising. The award, which
recognizes the best creative marketing and public relations projects in Texas
libraries, was given for the "Libraries Rock" video that helped promote Denton's
2018 Summer Reading Challenge. The Denton Public Library award entry will be
highlighted in the summer issue of Texas Library Journal. Librarian Kerol Harrod
wrote a parody of Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock," transforming the classic
1980s hair-band song into "Libraries Rock." Mr. Harrod played the guitars and
sang the song, former Library Assistant Abdon Gonzalez played the drums, and
City of Denton Wastewater Lab Manager Fritz Schwalm played the bass guitar.
The song was recorded by Mr. Schwalm in his home recording studio. Through a
partnership with Denton Television (DTV), a video was produced of the entire
song and then condensed into a one-minute commercial. The library achieved
record success in its Summer Reading Challenge in 2018, with 7,518 people
signing up, surpassing the previous signup record by almost 500 people. Watch
the"Libraries Rock"video on the City of Denton YouTube channel. Staff contact:

F. Update on Safe Routes to School Grants—On December 5,2018,Council Member
Briggs requested information on the status of the Safe Routes to School-related
grants the city has received to construct sidewalks: the Transportation Alternatives
Set-Aside (TASA) and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
grants. The CMAQ grant will fund sidewalks on Swisher Road to serve Pecan
Creek Elementary and on Emerson, Brookfield, and Hanover to serve students at
Wilson Elementary. The total value of the CMAQ sidewalk project is $505,050
with the City contributing $100,284. The TASA grant will fund sidewalks on
Stuart Road to serve Ginnings Elementary and on Audra and Mulkey to serve
students at Lee (Alexander) Elementary. The total value of the TASA sidewalk
project is $1,006,917 with the City contributing $190,577. Both projects are
currently expected to be completed in July 2020. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh
G. Pedestrian Access to Proposed Grace Like Rain Site—At the March 19,2019 City
Council meeting, Council Member Hudspeth requested information on the ability
for pedestrians, particularly students, to cross East McKinney Street should the
3
Grace Like Rain organization construct a facility across from Ryan High School.
Generally, the impact of single developments on the surrounding area are
discussed during the pre-development process, usually as a concept plan or site
plan is reviewed. It is during this time the City can gauge what the pedestrian
impact might be from a new development and whether there are suitable facilities
to convey that pedestrian traffic across roadways. If facilities are insufficient, the
City can determine how to address those pedestrian safety issues,the cost of those
improvements, and whether the cost of those improvement should be shouldered
by the developer. When Just Like Rain enters pre-development discussions, they
will follow the same process of evaluation. There is a crosswalk and pedestrian
signal at the main Entrance to Ryan High School that allows safe passage to the
south side of East McKinney Street. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager's
Office
H. Pedestrian Access for Guyer High School — On March 8, 2019 Council Member
Armintor and Mayor Pro-Tem Ryan inquired as to how safe pedestrian access will
be provided for students to walk to Guyer High School during the Teasley street
construction project. This project has entered a dormant stage while TxDOT,who
manages this roadway and the associated right-of-way, procures a new contractor
after the previous contractor left the project. Staff previously reached out to
TxDOT to request that a temporary pathway be provided for students to walk to
school despite the construction and received notice from TxDOT this week that
they would provide a temporary path on the west side of Teasley. TxDOT has
begun clearing equipment and dirt to prep the areas where a temporary path will
be provided. TxDOT has also committed to holding utility contractors who will
be working in the construction area accountable for maintaining a clear walking
path past their work zone. At this time, TxDOT has not indicated how far north
this temporary walking path will extend, though city staff will communicate that
information to the Council as soon as TxDOT has provided it. Additionally, staff
will continue to monitor the condition of the temporary path and communicate any
problems or issues we observe to TxDOT. We are also exploring our ability to
use City resources to help in this effort. Once the temporary path is complete, staff
will ensure that Denton ISD and Guyer High School administrators are aware of
the location of the path so that they may communicate that information to students.
Further updates will be provided in a future Friday report. Staff contact: Ryan
Adams, City Manager's Office
I. Storm Impact on Electric Service—A strong storm moved across the Denton-area
last Sunday, March 25, 2019. Despite the severe storms, there were no major
electric service outages or feeder trips. In fact, the only storm related outage was
from a tree limb that fell on a service line, impacting just one customer. Staff
contact: George Morrow, Denton Municipal Electric
J. Static Sign Notifications for Upcoming Construction — A question was posed to
staff about the feasibility of using static signs to notify motorists as they drive
through areas of upcoming construction. Currently, staff does not recommend
using static signs to notify drivers of upcoming projects as this type of signage is
not an effective method of notifying drivers. These signs create visual clutter and
can be a distraction for drivers. Static signs must be sized to appropriately notify
4
drivers of their content, giving the driver time to read and process the information
without interrupting the driver's ability to maneuver a vehicle. This means that
large signs would need to be placed along busy arterials, collector or streets near
proposed construction projects. Since refining and expanding our construction
communication strategy over the last year, staff has not received any requests for
additional signage regarding upcoming projects. Digital message boards are
currently used on larger projects(e.g. Spencer Road/Mayhill Road)to alert drivers
of upcoming changes in traffic patterns, detours, and closures related to projects
and we are working on procuring additional signs was well as asking contractors
to use them. Additionally, the City has partnered with `blaze' app to improve
communication with residents/citizens electronically, regarding current(existing)
and future closures, detours, etc. within the City of Denton. Staff contact: Jessica
Rogers, Public Affairs
K. Congestion at Mayhill and Spencer — Staff has been made aware of issues with
heavy congestion and traffic signal timing at the intersection of Mayhill and
Spencer. Motorists have reported wait times in excess of 10 minutes to proceed
through the intersection and these long wait times have been confirmed by City
staff. While staff was able to adjust the timing of the intersection, the congestion
resulting from the active construction project on Mayhill has continued with the
corresponding long wait times. Staff has asked that the contractor open the new
northbound lanes (beginning just north of Edwards Road) of Mayhill for traffic.
This will allow motorists to utilize the Spencer/Mayhill signal in its permanent
configuration and markings, easing the congestion. Additionally, the contractor
will open the right turn lane at the intersection to further help with the northbound
congestion. The contractor has committed to making these changes within three
weeks, though staff is pressing for an accelerated schedule. Going forward, staff
is working on a fiber connection to the signals so that any future timing issues can
be reported in real time, further reducing any delays in repairs. Staff will continue
to monitor the intersection throughout the duration of the Mayhill project. Staff

L. Early Voting During Arts&Jazz Festival—The Denton Civic Center will serve as
one of four Early Voting polling locations in the City of Denton for the May 4
municipal election. The Early Voting period for the 2019 municipal election is
April 22-27 and April 29-30. During the Early Voting period, registered voters
may vote at any polling location in Denton County(a full listing of those locations
can be found online at: https://www.votedenton.com/wp-
content/uploads/2019/03/0519_Early Voting Locations_v2.pdf). Because Early
Voting coincides with the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival, which will be held in
Quakertown Park April 26-28 with activities scheduled in the Civic Center, the
Civic Center will be closed as an Early Voting polling location on Saturday,April
27. To make other Early Voting polling locations located in the City of Denton
more accessible on April 27, DCTA has graciously agreed to develop vouchers
that can be used on any DCTA route to access polling locations free of charge
(vouchers will only be valid for use on April 27). DCTA confirmed that the other
Early Voting locations in the City of Denton are within 1-2 blocks of a DCTA stop
(other Denton Early Voting polling locations can be found online at:
https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/residents/make-a-difference/vote). Final
5
plans for the distribution of these vouchers are currently being developed, staff
will provide updates on Early Voting vouchers in the April 5 Friday Report. Staff

Re: Painted Curbs on W. Oak Street
Homeowner:
Community Improvement Services has identified unauthorized curb painting in front of your
address. Our research indicates that the City did not authorize the painting of this curb; meaning
under City code, the unauthorized curb paint is considered graffiti. City regulations only allow the
painting of address numbers on curbs in front of residential homes,along with any official markings
made by the City or City contractors.
The curb in front of your property has been painted yellow. Our office plans to remedy this by
arranging a City contractor to visit West Oak Street between April 8 and April 12 to paint over the
yellow curbs. This is simply a courtesy notice informing you about the work to be performed.
If you have any questions about the planned work, feel free to contact me using the information
below. If you have questions about legal markings on public property, you can contact the Capital
Projects Traffic Operations Division at(940) 349-8462.
Cordially,

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Denton Municipal Electric Receives 2018 APPA Reliability Award
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Informal Staff Report is to provide a high-level summary of Denton
Municipal Electric's recent award given by the American Public Power Association (APPA) for
achieving Excellence in Reliability for 2018. This award is given to APPA participating utilities
who are in the top quartile compared to data collected by the United States Energy Information
Administration (EIA). As a collaborative piece with this award, the APPA has provided Denton
Municipal Electric's 2018 Annual Benchmarking Report which is generated from data input into
eReliability and from the EIA.
DISCUSSION:
The EIA collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to
promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its
interaction with the economy and environment. One of the many databases maintained by this
organization records reliability data reported by electric utilities through submittal of Form EIA-
861 —Annual Electric Power Industry Report.
Denton Municipal Electric (DME) participants in the APPA's eReliability program.
"eReliability" is a web-based service that collects, categorizes, and summarizes outage data for
460 participating public power utilities. However, only 277 utilities are included in the analysis
based on those utilities who verified their data and experienced two or more outages in 2018.
The complete 2018 Annual Benchmarking Report, which is attached to this ISR, provides the
computed values of key indices for DME as well as comparisons to 1) eReliability data, 2)
utilities in the associated region (Region 4) that DME is included within, and 3) comparisons
with utilities of similar customer size. Items 2 and 3 are extracted from the Annual Electric
Power Industry report.
There are five (5) key indices used to track how an electric utility is performing in relation to
reliability. These indices (along with their definitions), as well as DME's ranking compared to
average eReliability in input, Region 4, and finally to utilities with the same customer size:
• System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI): average interruption duration
(in minutes) for customers served by a utility system during a specific time period.
DME SAIDI 56.20
Average eReliability SAIDI 202.45
SAIDI for Utilities in Region 4 767.77
SAIDI for Utilities of the same Customer Size 213.61
10
Date: March 29,2019 Report No. 2019-059
• System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI): average number of instances
a customer on the utility system will experience an interruption during a specific time
period.
DME SAIFI 0.832
Average eReliability SAIFI 0.954
SAIFI for Utilities in Region 4 0.653
SAIFI for Utilities of the same Customer Size 1.0829
• Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI): average duration (in
minutes) of an interruption by customers during a specific time frame.
DME CAIDI 67.58
Average eReliability CAIDI 180.75
CAIDI for Utilities in Region 4 733.11
CAIDI for Utilities of the same Customer Size 139.73
• Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI): average number of
times a customer of the utility system will experience a momentary interruption.
DME MAIFI 0.0544
Average eReliability MAIFI 0.2938
MAIFI for Utilities in Region 4 0.1108
MAIFI for Utilities of the same Customer Size 0.4612
• Average Service Availability Index (ASAI): a measure of the average availability of the
sub-transmission and distribution system that serve customers.
DME ASAI 99.99%
Average eReliability ASAI 99.96%
ASAI for Utilities in Region 4 99.85%
ASAI for Utilities of the same Customer Size 99.96%
A review of DME for all of the indexes, when compared to eReliability, Region 4, and of
other utilities of the same customer size show DME's performance is rated higher for
ALL values in every ranking with the one exception of SAIFI for utilities in Region 4.
CONCLUDING REMARKS:
DME's engineering and operational staff place a high degree of importance in its delivery of
service to the citizens of Denton, Texas. This service is provided through several proactive
actions.
• Tree trimming.
• Feeder sweeps.
11
Date: March 29,2019 Report No. 2019-059
• Planned/Scheduled outages including comprehensive communications with customers
who may be affected.
• For unplanned outages, commitment to restoration deployment — even after normal
workhours. Restoration target of thirty-minutes or less when DME is on site.
• System planning and design that accounts for service contingencies to restore power to as
many customers as possible while enabling isolating damaged area(s).
• Continual monitoring of system expansion and loading to detect potentially weak
components.
• Flexibility to adjust required actions to facilitate restoration.
• 24/7/365 System Operations to respond to outages in real time.
These actions, plus more, have shown to be beneficial to Denton in the prevention or response to
incidents that have the potential to lessen service. The value and importance of these actions can
be quantified as was shown in the award and benchmarking report.

Denton Municipal Electric
Funded by a grant from the Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments (DEED) Program, the
eReliability Tracker Annual Report was created by the American Public Power Association (the
Association) to assist utilities in their efforts to understand and analyze their electric system. This report
focuses on distribution system reliability across the country and is customized to each utility. The data
used to generate this report reflect activity in the eReliability Tracker from January 1, 2018 to December
31, 2018. Note that if you currently do not have a full year of data in the system, this analysis may not
properly reflect your utility's statistics since it only includes data recorded as of February 18, 2019;
therefore, any changes made after that date are not represented herein.
I. General Overview
Reliability reflects both historic and ongoing engineering investment decisions within a utility. Proper use
of reliability metrics ensures that a utility is not only performing its intended function, but also is providing
service in a consistent and effective manner. Even though the primary use of reliability statistics is for self-
evaluation, utilities can use these statistics to compare with data from similar utilities. However,
differences such as electrical network configuration, ambient environment, weather conditions, and
number of customers served typically limit most utility-to-utility comparisons. Due to the diverse range of
utilities that use the eReliability Tracker, this report endeavors to group utilities by size and region to
improve comparative analyses while reducing differences.
Since this report contains overall data for all utilities that use the eReliability Tracker, it is important to
consider the effect that a particularly large or small utility can have on the rest of the data. To ease the
issues associated with comparability, reliability statistics are calculated for each utility with their respective
customer weight taken into account prior to being aggregated with other utilities. This means that all
utilities are equally weighted and all individual statistics are developed on a per customer basis.
The total number of active utilities for 2018 are 460. The aggregate statistics displayed in this report are
calculated from 277 utilities that provided or verified their data and experienced more than two outages in
2018. Also, utilities that experienced no outages this year, or did not upload any data, will have None/Null
values in their report for their utility-specific data and were not included in the aggregate analysis.

This report separates utilities into groups of equal numbers of utilities according to their number of
customers served. As seen in Table 1, the customer size distribution of utilities that use the eReliability
Tracker is split into five distinct customer size class groups of approximately 92 utilities per group.
Your utility belongs to customer size class 5 and region 4.
Table 1
Customer size range per customer size class
Class 1 0-1,337
Class 2 1,338 - 3,003
Class 3 3,004 - 6,679
Class 4 6,680- 12,262
Class 5 12,263 -650,000
Since the utilities considered in this report represent a wide variety of locations across the United States,
each utility is also grouped with all others located in their corresponding American Public Power
Association region. Figure 1 shows the number of utilities using the eReliability Tracker in each
Association region and Figure 2 displays the Association's current United States map of regional divisions.

II. IEEE Statistics
When using reliability metrics, a good place to start is with the industry standard metrics found in the IEEE
1366 guide. For each individual utility, the eReliability Tracker performs IEEE 1366 calculations for
System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption Frequency Index
(SAIFI), Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI), Momentary Average Interruption
Frequency Index (MAIFI) and Average Service Availability Index (ASAI).
When collecting the necessary data for reliability indices, utilities often take differing approaches. Some
utilities prefer to include information as detailed as circuit type or phases impacted, while others include
only the minimum required. In all cases, the more details a utility provides, the more practical their
analysis will be. As a basis for calculating these statistics in the eReliability Tracker, the following are
required:
- Total number of customers served on the day of the outage
- Start and end date/time of the outage
- Number of customers that lost power
Due to the differences in how some utilities analyze major events (MEs) relative to their base statistics, it
is important to note how they are calculated and used in this report. An example of a major event could be
severe weather, such as a tornado or thunderstorm, which can lead to unusually long outages in
comparison to your distribution system's typical outage. In the eReliability Tracker and in this report, the
Association's major event threshold is used, which is a calculation based directly on outage events, rather
than event days. The major event threshold allows a utility to remove outages that exceed the IEEE 2.5
beta threshold for events, which takes into account the utility's past outage history up to 10 years. In the
eReliability Tracker, if a utility does not have at least 36 outage events prior to the year being analyzed, no
threshold is calculated; therefore, the field below showing your utility's threshold will be blank and the
calculations without MEs in the SAIDI section of this report will be the same as the calculations with MEs
for your utility. More outage history will provide a better threshold for your utility.
Your utility's APPA major event threshold is 0 (minutes)'
The tables in this section can be used by utilities to better understand the performance of their electric
system relative to other utilities nationally and to those within their region or size class. In the SAIDI
section, indices are calculated for all outages with and without major events; furthermore, the data are
broken down to show calculations for scheduled and unscheduled outages. For each of the reliability
indices, the second table breaks down the national data into quartile ranges, a minimum value, and a
maximum value.
1 If there is no major event threshold calculated for your utility,these fields are left blank and the calculations in this report including Major Events and excluding
them will be the same.Your utility must have at least 36 outage events recorded in the eReliability Tracker in order to calculate a Major Event Threshold.

System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI)
SAIDI is defined as the average interruption duration (in minutes) for customers served by the utility
system during a specific time period.
Since SAIDI is a sustained interruption index, only outages lasting longer than five minutes are included in
the calculations. SAIDI is calculated by dividing the sum of all customer interruption durations within the
specified time frame by the average number of customers served during that period. For example, a utility
with 100 customer minutes of outages and 100 customers would have a SAIDI of 1.
Note that in the tables below, scheduled and unscheduled calculations include major events. Also note
that wherever major events are excluded, the exclusion is based on the APPA major event threshold.

System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI)
SAIFI is defined as the average number of instances a customer on the utility system will experience an
interruption during a specific time period.
Since SAIFI is a sustained interruption index, only outages lasting longer than five minutes are included in
the calculations. SAIFI is calculated by dividing the total number of customer interruptions by the average
number of customers served during that time period. For example, a utility with 150 customer interruptions
and 200 customers would have a SAIFI of 0.75 interruptions per customer.

Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI)
CAIDI is defined as the average duration (in minutes) of an interruption experienced by customers during
a specific time frame.
Since CAIDI is a sustained interruption index, only outages lasting longer than five minutes are included in
the calculations. It is calculated by dividing the sum of all customer interruption durations during that time
period by the number of customers that experienced one or more interruptions during that time period.
This metric reflects the average customer experience (minutes of duration) during an outage.

Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI)
MAIFI is defined as the average number of times a customer on the utility system will experience a
momentary interruption.
In this report, an outage with a duration of less than five minutes is classfied as momentary. The index is
calculated by dividing the total number of momentary customer interruptions by the total number of
customers served by the utility. Momentary outages can be more difficult to track and many smaller
utilities may not have the technology to do so; therefore, some utilities may have a MAIFI of zero.

Average Service Availability Index (ASAI)
ASAI is defined as a measure of the average availability of the sub-transmission and distribution systems
that serve customers.
This load-based index represents the percentage availability of electric service to customers within the
time period analyzed. It is caclulated by dividing the total hours service is available to customers by the
total hours that service is demanded by the customers. For example, an ASAI of 99.99% means that
electric service was available for 99.99% of the time during the given time period.

2018 Energy Information Administration (EIA) Form 861 Data
Form EIA-861 collects information on the status of electric power industry participants involved in the
generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric energy in the United States, its territories, and
Puerto Rico.
EIA surveys electric power utilities annually through EIA Form 861 to collect electric industry data and
subsequently make that data available to the public. In 2014, EIA began publishing reliability statistics in
their survey from utility participants; therefore, the Association included EIA reliability statistics in this
report for informational purposes. Please note that the following data includes investor-owned, rural
cooperative, and public power utilities that were large enough to be required to fill out the full EIA 861, not
the EIA 861-S form (for smaller entities). In addition, since the collection and release of EIA form data lags
by more than a year, the data provided here is based on 2017 data only. Therefore, it is suggested that
the aggregate statistics contained herein be used only as an informational tool for further comparison of
reliability statistics.
In the table, if an entity calculates SAIDI, SAIFI, and determines major event days in accordance with the
IEEE 1366-2003 or IEEE 1366-2012 standard, they are included under the "IEEE Method" columns. If the
entity calculates these values via another method, they are included under the "Other Method" columns.
For more general information on reliability metrics you can see the Association's website at
http://publicpower.org/reliability. Although EIA collected other reliability-related data, the tables below only
include SAIDI and SAIFI data. The full set of data can be downloaded at this link:

Analysis of Miles of Line and Interruptions
Benchmarking metrics were created to help utilities explore the relationship between outages,
overhead/underground line exposure, and customer density. More specifically, by using interruptions per
overhead/underground mile of line and customers per mile utilities can benchmark reliability against
system characteristics along with the customer normalized metrics included in the rest of the report.
These system topography-related metrics can be helpful in understanding, for example, utility reliability
against weather and animal-related outages relative to similarly dense and exposed utilities.

III. Outage Causes
Equipment failure, extreme weather events, wildlife and vegetation are some of the most common causes
of electric system outages. However, certain factors, such as regional weather and animal/vegetation
patterns, can make a different set of causes more prevalent to a specific group of utilities. The following
sections of this report include graphs depicting common causes of outages for your individual utility, all
utilities in your region, and all utilities using the eReliability Tracker. The charts containing aggregate
information are customer-weighted to account for differences in utility size for a better analytical
comparison.
For example, a particularly large utility may have a large number of outages compared to a small utility; in
order to avoid skewing the data towards large utilities, the number of cause occurrences is divided by
customer size to account for the differences. In the figures below, the data represent the number of
occurrences for each group of 1000 customers. For instance, a customer-weighted occurrence rate of"1"
means 1 outage of that outage cause per 1000 customers on average in 2018.
Note that the sustained outage cause analysis is more comprehensive than the momentary outage cause
analysis due to a bigger and more robust sample size for sustained outages. Regardless, tracking both
sustained and momentary outages helps utilities understand and reduce outages. To successfully use the
outage information tracked by your utility, it is imperative to classify and record outages in detail. The
more information provided per outage, the more conclusive and practical your analyses will be.
Sustained Outage Causes
In general, sustained outages are the most commonly tracked outage type. In many analyses of sustained
outages, utilities tend to exclude scheduled outages, partial power, customer-related problems, and
qualifying major events from their reliability indices calculations. While this is a valid method for reporting,
these outages should be included for internal review to make utility-level decisions. In this section, we
evaluate common causes of sustained outages for your utility, corresponding region, and for all utilities
that use the eReliability Tracker. It is important to note that in this report, sustained outages are classified
as outages that last longer than five minutes, as defined by IEEE 1366.

Momentary Outage Causes
The ability to track momentary outages can be difficult or unavailable on some systems, but due to the
hazard they pose for electronic equipment, it is important to track and analyze momentary causes. In this
section, we evaluate common causes of momentary outages for your utility, region and customer size
class as well as common causes for all utilities that use the eReliability Tracker. Please note that only
outages lasting less than five minutes are classified as momentary, as defined by IEEE 1366.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
On March 4, 2019, City Council requested a staff report on a recent visit and tour of Austin's
Sobering Center by City staff and United Way of Denton County(UWDC) staff.
BACKGROUND:
On January 18,2019,staff sent out Informal Staff Report#2019-007 with research and information
on sobering centers located in Austin, other cities in Texas, and other areas around the country.
In February,while City staff and UWDC staff were in the City of Austin attending the 2019 Denton
County Days, a team took the opportunity to visit and learn more about Austin's new sobering
center.
DISCUSSION:
The Sobering Center serving Austin and Travis County recently opened in Oct. 2018. The Center
is a Limited Government Corporation (LGC) nonprofit that receives financial support from
the City of Austin and other state grant programs. The Center receives annual funding of$2.8
million with approximately $1.75 million from the City of Austin and additional state funding for
cost reimbursement related to referral services to sober living programs and educational outreach
programs. In addition, Travis County provides the facility for The Center. It utilizes a renovated
space previously occupied by the medical examiner's office.
Staff with The Sobering Center were open with sharing insights and lessons learned during their
first months of operations. The following provides a recap for what was learned:
• Purpose: The Sobering Center is a physically safe place for acutely intoxicated persons to
be cared for while they sober. It is meant to provide publicly intoxicated persons an
alternative option to incarceration and the emergency room. It is not a treatment center and
does not provide treatment services; however, clients can get advice about their substance
use and be directly connected to individual services they might need to help them reduce
or eliminate their substance abuse.
• Clients Seen: The typical length of stay is 4 to 6 hours and just over 90% are under the
influence of alcohol as compared to less than 10%resulting from drug use.
Staff at The Sobering Center shared that a small minority of patients served are
experiencing homelessness. They shared that approximately less than 16% of patients
seen are experiencing homelessness while 10-15% are college students where it is higher
when college is in session. The remaining patients are from the general population.
• Client Intake: Individuals may only be referred and transported to the facility by law
enforcement or emergency medical services. It is not a place where friends or family
members can bring someone to sober up. If the individual is in commission of another
30
Date: March 29, 2019 Report No. 2019-060
crime (i.e. assault or DWI) then they are not eligible for admission to the center and the
officer will take the individual to jail.
• Unclear Authority: Current state law is not clear what authority an officer has to release
an intoxicated individual to a sobering center or alternative care. There is state legislation
that The Center is advocating for during this 86th Legislature that seeks to clarify and
expressly state this authority. Rep. Celia Israel(HD 50) filed House Bill 830, a companion
to Senate Bill 306 by Sen. Kirk Watson (SD 14), to clarify the law that an officer may
divert an intoxicated individual to a sobering center in lieu of arrest or transport to the
emergency department. Austin, Houston, and San Antonio provide a place for individuals
to recover from intoxication in a safe and secure environment and are considered a
responsible and cost-effective solution. The Center supports this legislation because it
protects police officers and allows them to continue to use The Center as an alternative to
a county jail cell or emergency room. If enacted it would expressly allow peace officers, in
lieu of arresting an individual, to release that individual into alternative care under specific
situations.
• Scale of Operation: The Sobering Center was developed with space for 40 beds.However,
staff communicated that this is more beds than needed and sometimes makes it more
difficult to manage the space and patients. On average, there are about 40 patients a week
with 3-4 patients per day and during peak days, Thursday—Saturday, 7-10 patients may be
seen per day.As of Feb. 28,2019,The Center reports serving 1001 patients since it opened.
• Partnerships: Staff at The Center shared that they are working to strengthen their
partnerships with the hospitals and see this as a key element to increasing the effectiveness
of their program. They are researching the option to purchase, staff, and develop
procedures for a vehicle to transport patients from the hospital to the sobering center after
they have been evaluated by a physician and medically cleared of any illnesses or injuries.
If there is no medical reason for the patient to remain in the hospital, the patient could be
cleared and transported to the center to recover and sober up.The Center is also considering
a partnership with the local mental health care provider or adding a Psychiatric Tech
position to its own staff to address mental health issues seen in patients.
CONCLUSION:
The Sobering Center serving Austin and Travis County provides a temporary safe place for
individuals to sober up as an alternative to incarceration or emergency rooms. The collaboration
of law enforcement, fire/EMS,jail, and hospitals is critical to the success of the program and try
to achieve cost savings for each of the entities. While discussing center utilization rates, sobering
center staff highlighted the need to fully understand the impact of intoxication arrests,
incarceration rates, emergency room visits, and other community data to determine if a sobering
center is needed, and at what scale. In addition, while sobering centers have a targeted focus to
support the immediate medical need for individuals to sober up from an intoxication experience,
sobering center staff discussed the need for equal investment in community outreach and
education, screening, and referral/placement to treatment resources and sober living programs for
substance abuse.
