The Cleveland Board of Public Utilities in a recent meeting approved a long list of items. Among those items, a resolution was approved authorizing Cleveland Utilities to direct the TVA Fiscal Year 22 Pandemic Relief Credit funds toward CU’s Distribution Automation Project. Also approved was a $56,150 purchase order to CMS Utility Services for an additional pole rack system at the Harrison Building. The racks store various length poles in a more organized and safe manner. CMS was the only bidder for the project, however they are the same company that provided the first pole rack system purchased for the property. Also approved was a $64,088 purchase to Irby Utilities for 12 S&C TripSavers, which are overcurrent protection devices. Several of these devices have been deployed in the field for four years, which have proven to reduce the number of permanent power outages and improve reliability in the areas they have been installed.

Concerns that vaccinated Tennesseans could be denied access to monoclonal antibodies in order to conserve the life-saving drugs for unvaccinated people are subsiding as the number of new COVID-19 cases across the state declines.
The federal government recently changed how it allocates monoclonal antibodies after seven states with high levels of COVID-19 and low vaccination rates — including Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama — accounted for 70% of the nation’s monoclonal antibody orders. Tennessee was leading the nation in new COVID-19 cases per capita at that time.
As a result, the Tennessee Department of Health recommended that in the case of a shortage, providers follow National Institutes of Health guidelines, which call for those drugs to be conserved for people who are not fully vaccinated and at high risk of progressing to severe COVID-19 over those who are at high risk and fully vaccinated — with the exception of people with weakened immune responses, such as organ transplant recipients and patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Tennessee received around 1,000 fewer doses from the federal government this week compared to last, according to Piercey, but she said demand for the drugs is down as well.
Statewide coronavirus hospitalizations peaked at 3,831 on Sept. 9. As of Tuesday, 2,636 patients were hospitalized in Tennessee due to COVID-19.
Tennessee reported 103 new COVID-19 deaths Wednesday, surpassing 15,000 total deaths since the start of the pandemic.
