Below is the link for the report from David Eggleston the Rate Payer Representative for Connecticut
Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative (CMEEC).
CMEEC Report
Upon a motion of Ald. Singh, seconded by Ald. Burto, on a roll call vote it was unanimously voted to
accept the following report from the Appoint/Reappointment Committee regarding several
reappointment/ appointments.
CITY MANAGERS REPORT
To: Mayor Nystrom and members of the City Council
From: John Salomone, City Manager
Subject: City Manager’s Report
Date: February 22, 2022
Meetings attended were with State representatives and legislators, Southeastern Council of Governments (SCCOG),
South Eastern Transit Authority (SEAT), Connecticut Conference of Municipalities Board Meeting (CCM), NPU‐City
Coordination meeting, Region 4 Emergency Support, FEMA, Bond Conference and signing, and the second Goal Setting
Session.
The City completed the sale of $145,000,000 General Obligation Bonds. The process began over a year ago and was
supported and approved unanimously by the members of the City’s Personnel & Pension Board, Board of Education,
Public Utilities Commission, and City Council. It was then approved by a two to one margin by voters in November 2021.
After the approval by the voters, the plan was reviewed by the State of Connecticut’s offices of Policy & Management
and Treasury prior to the city being able to move forward with the transaction. The State finished this process on
January 27, 2022. Standard & Poor’s gave Norwich a stable outlook for its existing general obligation debt and AA long‐
term rating. The syndicate of underwriters working on the city’s POB sale garnered a massive amount of interest in the
bonds – with investor orders over four times the number of bonds available. This competition for the bonds enabled the
City to get a very competitive total interest cost of 3.4 percent despite the recent surge in interest rates. By issuing the
POBs, the City (including the Board of Education and Department of Utilities), will pay a total of $13.7 million in fiscal
year 2022‐23 in pension fund, pension reserve fund, and POB debt service rather than $16.7 million in pension fund
contributions if the city had not issued POBs.
