IV. Old Business:
a. COVID-19 Update: City Manager John Salomone reported that the city
was hovering at about 25 infections per 100,000 people, which was an
increase from the City’s low point but there had not been an increase post
the holiday season. City Manager Salomone stated that the council had
been meeting in chambers but not the individual boards and commissions
due to the room sizes. City Manager Salomone stated that city hall hoped
to return to normal functions the first or second week of May due to the
increased availability of vaccinations. City Manager Salomone noted the
city had also begun slowly expanding recreational activities.
b. Fire Service Monthly Report Process: Alderman DeLucia stated the
new report process was going well and should help expedite the meeting
process.
V. New Business:
a. CM’s Proposed Budget Feedback: Alderman DeLucia stated the City
Manager’s proposed budget had been sent out and he wished to hear from
members outside of the hearing. Alderman DeLucia stated the item would
remain on the agenda as the budget would not be voted on until June.
b. Department Updates:
i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott reported NPU moved to phase 2 of
their return to work plan with all operations personnel back to
normal and work office staff still working from home. Eric
McDermott stated that the NPU customer service centers were open
for appointments and that their leadership staff meet daily. Eric
McDermott reported a recent uptick in COVID cases among NPU
staff but their workforce was unaffected. Eric McDermott stated
their PPE was level sufficient that employees continued to receive
vaccinations. Eric McDermott reported that the reservoirs were at
full pond and that in March there was a break in the 8 inch main
that feeds the East side from 8th Street. Eric McDermotted stated
that the main would be shut down while NPU worked with the
railroad to schedule a repair as the main is underneath the tracks.
Eric McDermott stated the repair should be complete by the end of
May and that the 8 inch main that feeds the East side from Route 2
is still online. Eric McDermott stated that water pressure would not
be affected but that volume could be a concern during emergencies
so NPU was currently conducting flow testing and working with
Chief Montoya who has put a contingency plan in place.
ii. American Ambulance: Robert Rautio provided the following digital
report: In March 2021 we responded to 598 emergencies, 224 ALS
and 374 BLS, which is down significantly from our historical March
numbers. Our staff continues to receive vaccinations and as of this
writing we have nearly 80 providers who are fully vaccinated. We
are actively engaged with the Community Care Team and SMHA
trying to connect several residents with appropriate local services to
meet their needs. We have no staff currently out of work due to
COVID-19.
iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daly reported 1 COVID
case which put their total cases at 9 since the start of the pandemic.
Chief Daly stated the NPD continued to assist at food distribution
and vaccine sites. Chief Daly stated NPD was also assisting in
preparations for the FEMA vaccination trailer that would be coming
to the city in May. Chief Daly reported that NPD would likely open
the station in unification with city hall. Chief Daly reported three
new officers in field training, two in the academy, and that a few
officers had moved on from the department.
iv. Emergency Management Update: Chief Tracy Montoya reported
that grant funding was secured for secondary EOC, currently located
in a training room at fire headquarters. Chief Montoya stated he had
received quotes for computers, phone drops and wiring needed to
outfit the training room as a secondary EOC. Chief Montoya
explained that the secondary location would not replace the primary
EOC, provided by NPU, but would be used to augment the primary
EOC in a chance of a large scale incident or would be used in place
of the primary EOC in a lesser activation where fewer agencies
would be involved. Chief Montoya reported that he and Lieutenant
Kannas met with CERT leadership on expanding their role and
bringing them back onboard after COVID. Chief Montoya stated that
the FEMA mobile vaccination unit was scheduled to visit Norwich
on May 5th and 6th in the Saint Mary’s Church parking lot to host a
two day clinical site, with involvement from the state and Uncas
Health District.
v. Fire Department Updates:
● Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya reported that fire marshals had
recently been busy with an uptick of various brush fires as well as
gas calls and that NFD was working with NPU to determine a
cause. Chief Montoya reported other significant responses
included a house fire at 24 Otis Street, a vehicle fire at 92
Stonington Road and a vehicle into a building at 46 Rockwell
Street. Chief Montoya noted that the Squad A replacement was
cut from the original budget but was still a critical need and that
he had submitted an AFG request for its replacement. Chief
Montoya reported that recently radio surveys have begun to
recognize holes in Norwich’s radio system. Chief Montoya stated
the Director of Safety and Training position was offered to an
external candidate who would be starting on the 26th. Chief
Montoya reported that the two recruits in the fire academy were
entering the 10th week of the program and that graduation was
scheduled for May 26th. Chief Montoya stated that both fire
stations remained closed to the public and that the small parking
lot project was scheduled to begin in May. Chief Montoya
reported that outside training instructors had worked at the
station following COVID guidelines and protocols.
Training outside instructors have come in following COVID
guidelines and protocols. Chief Montoya reported that in
accordance with new vaccinations and CDC changes NFD
released its own set of updated guidelines. See attached
addendum - incident statistics report.
● Taftville: Chief Timothy Jencks reported that one member was in
quarantine after returning from vacation with another member
possibly exposed at work but their positive case number still
remained at one. Chief Jencks reported that Taftville’s PPE level was
sufficient and that they had resumed in-person training at the
station with stringent guidelines. Chief Jencks stated Taftville would
also follow the lead of city hall for reopening business meetings.
Chief Jencks reported Taftville was working with the city finance
department to get the telephone poles removed from the middle of
their parking lot and to get the lights removed and returned to the
basketball court. Chief Jencks reported that Taftville responded to a
small fire on the roof of the Ponemah Mill complex that was quickly
resolved as well as an uptick in gas calls. Chief Jencks also noted
several recent social service referrals made in regards to healthcare.
See attached addendum - incident statistics report.
● Yantic: Chief Bill Eyberse reported no new covid exposures with
one new member gained from the Marine core and another member
lost to the Marine core. Chief Eyeberse stated Yantic would be
ramping up in person training that month and toward the end of
month they would start online training through Careercert. Chief
Eyberse reported that the gear extractor had been installed and they
were working to get membership trained. Chief Eyberse stated
Yantic had 800 portables at the station and would start testing
immediately. See attached addendum - incident statistics report.
● Occum: Deputy Chief Scott Egert reported no COVID exposures
or quarantine in the past month and noted a decrease in call over the
last few months. Deputy Chief Egert reported the replacement of
Engine 41 as a critical need and that Occum had started in person
training at the beginning of March. Deputy Chief Egert reported that
the station had received a new bulkhead door, hose testing and
updated heating. Deputy Chief Egert reported they successfully
moved Occum’s blood testing to PhsyicianOne which was much
more accessible for members and more compliant with NFPA
standards. Deputy Chief Egert stated Occum had two portables from
Chief Montoya and would conduct radio testing over the weekend to
find dead zones. See attached addendum - incident statistics report.
● East Great Plain: Deputy Chief Jerry Verant reported 60
incidents for the past month and no COVID impacts with several
members fully vaccinated and more signing up. Deputy Chief
Verant stated two members were attending Firefighter 1 courses
and that EGP had begun in-person training while maintaining
COVID guidelines and utilizing the outdoors as much as
possible. Chief Deputy Verant reported the asbestos abatement
and renovations at the firehouse were ongoing and that EGP
would also be conducting radio surveys in the area. See attached
addendum - incident statistics report.
● Laurel Hill: See attached addendum - incident statistics report.
c. 2020 Fire Study:
i. Discussion on the Automatic Response Recommendation:
Alderman DeLucia noted that a couple of recommendations were
made in the 1 and 2 priority levels that referred to structure fires in
where NFD would respond to the TCD town or volunteer district
where the incident was occurring and there would also be an
automatic aide response from the volunteer department into the
CCD for the same reported structure fire. Alderman DeLucia stated
he hoped in a continued discussion that the city manager and six
chiefs could get together to work on a recommendation or draft plan
on how the specific recommendations could be implemented. Chief
Jencks discussed the issues with the existing radio system and the
need to focus on the project. Alderman DeLucia discussed working
on more than one action item at a time and noted the high priority
number put on both recommendations by the consultant.
Discussion ensued. Chief Montoya stated dispatch should be
involved in conversations regarding automatic response
recommendations so that the adjustments can be made in a
productive way. Alderman Bettencourt agreed. Discussion ensued
on chiefs reviewing the recommendations and having counsel
meetings with the city manager.
VI. Public Safety items for future discussion: CM’s Proposed Budget Feedback
VII. Next Meeting: May 12, 2021, via ZOOM App, unless otherwise notified.
VIII. Adjournment: Upon a motion by Alderman Nash seconded by Alderman
Bettencourt, the meeting was adjourned at 8:11 PM. All voted in favor. The
motion passed unanimously.
Respectfully Submitted,
Katherine Rose
