Dyersburg Electric System President and CEO Jimmy Williamson reported to members of the Power Board at Friday's meeting that cameras have been ordered for all the intersections in town. A larger order takes advantage of a better price, with Williamson stating that DES employees have already begun installing the equipment to the intersections requiring them most.

The cameras are installed to detect cars as they approach the intersection and allow the light to keep traffic moving efficiently.

Williamson said the intersection at Lake Road and the Highway 51 Bypass should be repaired by Monday, Aug. 18, with workers stringing the lights Sunday morning when traffic patterns are lighter.

The light at Highway 20 and the bypass will be the next repaired, with intersections then addressed by their condition and traffic patterns in the area.

Power Board members present at the meeting included Walt Bradshaw, Dwight Hedge, Rawlin Fowlkes and Dennis Moody. Others present included attorney John Lannom, secretary Robbie Richards, DES Vice President of Human Resources Patsy Roark, and DES Vice President of Construction and Maintenance Robert Smith.

Power Board members gave Williamson permission to charge off $2,041.84 of bad debts in the monthly report so collection efforts can begin. They also approved recoveries of $21,024.21 for heat pumps from TVA.

Also at the meeting, Williamson reported:

* Dyersburg Electric System will have its identity-theft program ready for approval by the September board meeting. With board approval, the program should be in place before the Federal Trade Commission's deadline of Nov. 1.

* cash and audit reports are expected next week.

* approved an accident report for Jack Golio for a scratch on his inner right thigh, which required a tetanus shot. No lost time was reported for the accident.
