seconded. All voted in favor. The motion passed unanimously.
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. Robert Rautio stated that emergency calls
in the city had decreased from a critical level and that no staff was
currently out on COVID related cases. Robert Rautio stated AA was
approaching 90% of its staff vaccinated and that PPE levels were
good.
iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported that he
met with Alderman DeLucia to develop a similar reporting form as
the fire departments and as of month NPD’s call volume had
returned to normal. Chief Daley thanked American ambulance and
Norwich Fire Department for their assistance with the tragedy on
Mckinley Avenue. Chief Daley reported NPDC continued to research
CAD RMS systems and options and meeting with vendors. Chief
Daley stated the fire departments should expect to be brought in the
following week. Chief Daley reported in the past month had ‘fishing
with a cop’ and ‘coffee with a cop’ community events which were
well received. Chief Daley stated NPD was looking forward to a gun
buy-back event in June and National Night Out the first Tuesday in
August.
iv. Emergency Management Update: Chief Keith Wucik reported that
EM made arrangements with Uncas Health District to store some
supplies of their PPE and they were looking at quotes on turning
parts of headquarters in a secondary Emergency Operations Center.
Chief Wucik reported the FEMA mobile vaccine unit would be
returning the 26 and 27th to provide second vaccine doses. Chief
Wucik stated that EM had been collecting Red Cross shelter kits that

with city hall, hopefully in time for their yearly events. Chief Jencks

fair amount of the Taftville members had been vaccinated. Chief
Jencks reported that he had recently attended some citizen
meetings in regards to vandalization at the Taftville park and that
members had to clean graffiti off of the park the night prior. Chief
Jencks has spoken with city manager and mayor about placing a
camera on the firehouse directed at the park to help in identifying
the perpetrators in the ongoing problem, as it was believed to be a
select small group of individuals.
● Yantic: Chief Bill Eyberse reported 44 calls for the past month
and no current COVID cases. Chief Eyberse stated that Occum’s
PPE levels were well and that about 62% percent of members were

throughout the summer and that he was working hand-in-hand
with the fire marshal office to provide safety. Chief Eyberse stated

ensued regarding state reporting.
● Occum: Deputy Chief Scott Egert reported 46 responses for the

sheet rocker coming in the next day to put everything back
together. Chief Milton discussed the EGP OSHA review.
● Laurel Hill: Chief Aaron Westervelt reported that the rock
retaining wall repair at the firehouse was ongoing and should be
finished up in the next few weeks. Chief Westervelt stated that
they should be meeting with the contractor and city engineer to
finalize plans for the remaining half of the wall. Chief Westervelt
reported that the UTV was still out of service as they received a
part which then failed so a new part had to be ordered which led
to another problem being discovered when it was installed. Chief
Westervelt stated that all should be fixed and that the UTV should
be returned the next day after being without it for over a month.
