Under "FY 2011 Accomplishments" in the City Manager's Budget Message

"Accomplishments" have a special meaning to the City Manager, apparently.  The gas line mentioned here and the FMPA issue are open items still in dispute - and according to the City Attorney, currently requiring money to defend the city's position.

Check out the last sentence: "Slowly, and without a lot of fanfare, the City has increased system reliability and improved performance."  Anyone else have a problem with this statement as it relates to the electric utility?  How many small animals have caused recent citywide outages?

Why are these "accomplishments" listed under the heading "Energy Conservation Program?"
