III. Citizen Comment: Brian Kobylarz 16 Hobart Avenue stated he had concerns regarding the use of ATVs within the city specifically in Mohegan Park and questioned if the state had developed enforcement regulations for ATV usage or if there was a way to prohibit their use in Mohegan park. Brian Kobylarz also expressed concerns over the recent Colonial Pipeline hack and questioned how prepared Norwich Public Utilities was in regards to cyber security. Brian Kobylarz questioned in regards to the recent master plan passed by city council for properties over 100 acres if solar panels would be warranted. Mayor Peter Nystrom responded to Brian Kobylzard that NPU currently generates power through hydroelectricity, not solar, but that they are looking into ways of utilizing non fossil fuels. IV. Unfinished Business: a. COVID-19 Update: City Manager John Salomone reported the city went below the red zone level in the past week with slightly below 15 infections per 100,000. City Manager Salomone stated that city hall was still planning to open on Monday May 24th and that he was expecting guidance from the governor's office regarding executive orders, hopefully on how the state will address hybrid to in person meetings. City Manager Salomone reported that he received guidance from the treasury department on the American Recovery Plan but it was not as specific as he expected so work needed to be done before staff could make recommendations on qualified projects and programs. City Manager Salomone stated the city should receive the first installment of the 21 million dollar funding as early as the following week. Discussion ensued regarding potential usage of the funds and methods for deciding projects. City Manager Salomone reported that the city continued to host vaccination clinics and that schools would be starting vaccinations for 12-16 year olds in the next few days. V. New Business: a. Traffic Control and Enforcement: Alderman DeLucia stated he had multiple conversations and a meeting with Chief Patrick Daley in regards to a recently published article and community concerns over a rash of recent traffic accidents and infractions. Chief Daley explained that the complaint process entailed calling the police department, the city manager's office or city council directly. Chief Daly stated that NPD studies traffic issues internally when a complaint is received where himself and a supervisor will inspect the area if they are unfamiliar with it and then assign an officer to do a traffic study which typically involves putting a speed detection device on the roadside to assist in developing an enforcement procedure. Chief Daly continued that a list of long-term problematic roads is maintained by the captain who will disperse officers multiple times throughout shifts to monitor the areas. Chief Daly explained that various social aspects were also contributors such as distracted driving which they have received grants for in the past from the DOT to use towards enforcement in areas where the most good can be done. Chief Daley stated that in response to the citizen comment, there was a general statute that addressed ATV usage on public highways and city ordinance 14-4 addresses ATVs and motorized vehicle usage within the park, however enforcement presented challenges. Alderman Mark Bettencourt asked about the possibility of putting in speed bumps on city side streets. Chief Daley responded that the city has not embraced the speed bumps in the past as there is an extreme amount of liability involved if an accident occurs and it is not a recommended practice per the manual on uniform traffic control devices. Chief Daly stated that the speed bumps can cause wipeouts for motorcycles and damage city plows he felt there were other traffic calming devices that should be utilized such as bump outs and chevron signage that should be considered before using speed bumps. b. Department Updates: i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott stated in response to the citizen comment that he could not comment specifically on NPU’s security practices however they do follow best industry practices. Eric McDermott stated NPU was on phase 2 of its return to work plan with most staff still working from home and in-home services resumed as well as the opening of the customer service center by appointment only. Eric McDermott reported following state guidelines NPU would start transitioning to phase 3. Eric McDermott stated that NPU’s PPE levels remained sufficient and had no current COVID cases among staff. Eric McDermott reported that all reservoirs were at full pond. Eric McDermotted stated that the water main which feeds the East Side from 8th street was still shut down due to the break and that NPU was actively working with the railroad to secure a permit to complete the work. Eric McDermott reported that NPU had submitted work drawings and are waiting on a response back from the railroad company. Eric McDermott stated work can only occur over the weekend and during that time 8th Street will be shut down entirely so they are working on detour plans and will coordinate will all affected agencies. Eric McDermott continued that currently East Side was being fed by the main on Route 2 however volume remained an issue so after completing a flow assessment all impacted hydrants had been re-color coated to match the available fire flows. Eric McDermott stated the previous day NPU had completed sprinkler testing at the AHEPA apartments which showed a large drop in pressure and volume. ii. American Ambulance: Robert Rautio reported for the month of April that AA responded to 672 emergency calls and had returned to their normal call volume.
