Committee Members Absent: None. Administration and Staff Present: Mayor Peter Nystrom and City Manager John Salomone, City of Norwich; Robert Rautio, American Ambulance; Eric McDermott, Norwich Public Utilities; and Chief Patrick Daley, Norwich Police Department. Volunteer/Central Fire Departments and Others: Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya and Director of Safety & Training Mark Waters; East Great Plain: Chief Keith Milton; Laurel Hill: Deputy Chief Pete Clark; Occum: Chief Scott Egert; Yantic: Chief Bill Eyberse and Taftville: Chief Tim Jencks. Citizens Present: None. I. Call to Order and Quorum: President Pro Tem Joe DeLucia called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. There was a quorum present. II. Adoption of Previous Meeting Minutes: Alderwoman Tracey Burto made a motion to accept the December 8, 2021 meeting minutes. Alderwoman Stacy Gould seconded, with one change. Alderwoman Gould made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected. Alderwoman Burto seconded. All voted in favor. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Citizen Comment: Brian Kobylarz, 16 Hobart Avenue, discussed his concerns regarding the four new COVID-19 test sites being opened by Hartford Healthcare, such as location and administration logistics. Brain Kobylarz also noted his concerns on the safety of switching from drive-through to indoor testing and asked why the three locations suggested by city leaders fell within the same area of the CCD. Brian Kobylarz suggested utilizing the firehouses for testing sites as they are located throughout the city and have open air spaces where they house their trucks. Brain Kobylarz added that he would like to see the city reconsider a mask mandate as other cities in the state have done. Mayor Peter Nystrom responded that while the firehouses do have the amenities mentioned, some are located on main arteries in town where traffic is already congested so that may lead in itself to people not being able to access the firehouses as test sites. Mayor Nystrom continued that the sites were chosen for their proximity to a bus route and due to being used as testing sites previously with a good basis of volunteer resources. Mayor Nystrom stated the goal is to reach people with less means and ability to reach Dodd Stadium, but that they would take his recommendation into consideration if the firehouses are viable sites.  Chief Bill Eyeberse responded that he believes every fire department in the city is doing their best to keep COVID-19 cases out of their firehouses and opening them to the general public could cause an event that wipes out the firehouse personnel. Chief Eyberse stated the departments always want to be a part of the community but it is also a time for them to be somewhat isolated. Citizen comment was closed at 7:15PM. V. Unfinished Business: a. COVID-19 Update: i. Infection rates & trends - local/regional/statewide: City Manager John Salomone reported that COVID-19 infection rates increased drastically over the last month, with infection rates now exceeding last year’s numbers during the largest surge of infections. City Manager Salomone stated that hospitalizations had gone up to about 110 in New London county, which is approximately the same number of hospitalizations at the highest point last year. City Manager Salomone continued that while hospitalizations were up, reliance on the ICU had lessened likely because the Omicron variant is less severe. ii. Expanded testing sites/hours: City Manager John Salomone reported that Dodd Stadium would begin to have Sunday testing hours and the city was also opening an annex testing site outdoors at the Hartford Healthcare complex in the industrial park. City Manager Salomone added in regards to the citizen comment, the city assumed only one of the three submitted indoor testing sites would be approved which was the reason for the redundancy of proximity. iii. Home test kit distribution: City Manager John Salomone reported that the city had received two distributions of approximately 2,600 COVID-19 home test kits from the state and held distributions at Kelly Middle School and the Foxwoods parking lot on Route 2. Alderwoman Tracey Burto asked why the city was not mandating masks since infection rates are so high. City Manager Salomone responded that no plans have been in place as a decision was made the previous year that once the city dropped the mask mandate it would stay off of it, but the city has repeatedly requested the governor to do a regional or statewide mandate, as the mixed messages between regions provokes confusion. City Manager Salomone continued that the city was taking voluntary efforts at this time, to fairly good reception, and unless a mandate is done at a regional effort it is not effective and is confusing to citizens. b. City Manager’s Report on Fire Chief’s meetings: President Pro Tem DeLucia read the report by the city manager into the record. SEE ADDENDUM I. c. Dispatch & Radio System upgrades: i. Project progress to date: President Pro Tem Joe DeLucia reported that city council took action on funding to move the radio project forward. Chief Patrick Daley reported that since the document was signed and executed on the 21st equipment has been ordered from Motorola. Chief Daly stated the next portion  of the project would be programming the 300 radios by Motorola, which would take some time. Chief Tracy Montoya added that Director of Safety & Training Mark Waters visited the EOC and a couple other stations that day with the Motorola representative and CTS team to assess the need for consoles. Chief Montoya stated he was in communications with the chiefs over the past week on station needs in regards to their systems which he shared with the representatives to ensure that everything will be maintained or improved upon. Chief Montoya stated there would still be some site visits and interaction needed with the CTS team and Motorola. ii. Run-card revision: President Pro Tem DeLucia asked departments the advantages versus challenges of revising and refining run cards prior to entering them in the new system. Chief Montoya responded that the item had been discussed in various meetings and that currently there are two PDF and one Word document version of the run card that has been submitted to dispatch. Chief Montoya continued that all involved have acknowledged departments should be on one standard form which is the goal and that Lieutenant Perry asked the representative what is the best method to import run cards into the new CAD so that they can reformat the run cards for best implementation. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated that he also noticed, aside from the different file formats, different layouts with no standardization of terminology. Chief Montoya stated he understood and acknowledged they would address that as a group. Alderwoman Gould offered her personal congratulations, and on behalf of the Public Safety Committee, to Scott Egert for election to chief of Occum Fire Department and Chief Keith Milton on his re-election as chief. VI. New Business: a. Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM II FOR MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott reported that NPU continued to monitor COVID-19 updates with daily leadership team meetings as well as working closely with the city manager and health officials. Eric McDermott stated employee vaccination rate was 85% percent and that PPE supplies were sufficient. Eric McDermott reported that some employees were quarantining with no operational impacts and that both reservoirs were at full pond. Eric McDermott stated that NPU continued to work on the radio system upgrade project and hosted a meeting earlier that day to discuss EOC requirements. Eric McDermott reported that NPU had also been supporting NPD as they updated the control system for their emergency generator and are hoping to have the new emergency control installed in the next month. ii. American Ambulance: Robert Rautio reported significant COVID-19 impacts to providers over the course of the last few weeks, with at one point up to 25 providers out quaratining and up to 30 testing positive or coming in contact with COVID-19. Robert Rautio continued that most have returned to work and that AA has reinstated a mask mandate for employees along with booster shot mandates effective February 11th, per the governor’s recommendation, and providing in-house rapid testing. Robert Rautio reported 773 calls for the month of December and that emergency responses surpassed November significantly, even  with the staffing impact. Robert Rauto implored members of the committee and everyone to take COVID-19 precautions as well as other seasonal illnesses seriously. Robert Rautio reported that several new dispatchers were hired and that he was in conversation with the chiefs over the past month regarding communications and procedures. Robert Rautio reported 8,936 emergency responses and 2,636 transports for 2021 that AA has maintained a 98.3% response compliance time. iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported that December was slower, however COVID-19 affected six officers and one civilian employee, with one officer suffering long-term issues. Chief Daley stated that staffing was challenging due to retirement and lack of applications. Chief Daley stated that NFD was fully staffing shifts which involves significant and mandatory overtime commitments. Chief Daley stated NPD was working with the union to give officers some respite. Chief Daley reported that NPD returned to a mandatory N95 mask mandate that day as well as their original COVID policy from the initial surge to limit contact. Alderwoman Burto congratulated Chief Daley on new hires. iv. Emergency Management Update: Director of Safety & Training Mark Waters reported the last 2 weeks had mostly been spent on COVID-19 and discussed the test kit and mask distributions. Director Mark Waters stated they are expecting another distribution from the state and would be in contact when he had a date. Director Mark Waters stated that N95 masks were still available for pick up at the fire department. v. Fire Department Updates: 1. Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya discussed the last minute distribution cancellation by the state and congratulated the effort of local agencies as well as Director Mark Waters in handling the situation. Chief Montoya reported on multiple significant responses such as the December 9th structure fire at 147 Franklin Street; the December 11th 74 Orchard Street structure fire; the December 29th kitchen fire at 78 Prospect Street; a structure fire on January 8th at 213 Main Street; and a barn fire at 195 Corning Road on January 11th. Chief Montoya reported the replacement of Squad A as a critical need. Chief Montoya stated the department’s new hires would begin orientation on the 24th and that nominations for battalion chief and captain would be coming with the retirement of Chief Keith Wucik. Chief Montoya reported that both stations remain closed to the public and agreed that, in response to the citizen comment, the firehouses need to preserve their workforce by limiting potential transfers. Chief Montoya stated that NFD had sufficient PPE supplies and that he met with the City Manager and chiefs that past Tuesday. Alderwoman Gould asked if the new roundabout in downtown presented any issues when attending the 213 Main Street fire. Director of Safety & Training Mark Waters responded it did not appear to have any impact. Chief Montoya addressed the string lights hung in downtown and questioned why the departments were not consulted prior as aerial placement and operations need to be considered in regards to the apparatus servicing the area. 2. Taftville: Chief Timothy Jencks reported that Taftville responded to a fire at 150 Norwich Avenue where they were able to prevent the fire from spreading with support from various departments, as well as a debris fire on January 1st that they quickly put out with support from Occum. Chief Jencks stated he is working with the city finance department to find a viable option regarding the firehouse roof. Chief Jencks stated the parking lot at the station was still an issue and would not be a sufficient site for  COVID-19 testing, especially with school traffic across the street. Chief Jencks stated Taftville’s COVID cases were very low with no operational impacts and that their vaccination rate was up to 93%. 3. Yantic: Chief Bill Eyberse reported 72 calls for the past month, 25% of which were overlapping, and that Yantic had completed their training with NPU that morning. Chief Eyberse reported that Yantic’s vaccination rate was 78% and that they had reinstated their mask mandate. Chief Eyberse stated November involved a lot of furnace maintenance calls as well as false calls, which continued to be an issue. Chief Eyberse reported he met with the city purchasing agent to look for a specification for the plymovent system and had received quotes for the other capital improvement projects, such as the first floor air conditioning. Chief Eyberse added that the survey for the parking lot alterations was completed. Chief Eyberse stated he would be sending one member to the Eastern CT Fire School for the Firefighter 1 program at the end of the month and that he did touch base with NFA regarding the firefighter introduction program but COVID has caused limitations. 4. Occum: Chief Scott Egert reported 26 service calls for the month and 236 calls for the year of 2021. Chief Egert stated call volume had increased the second half of the year and that Occum has responded to several mutual aide fires in the last month, Chief Egert reported that parts had arrived for the electrical upgrades on Engine 41 and that Squad 4 had been out since the 3rd of the month for body work. Chief Egert discussed training and membership. 5. East Great Plain: Chief Keith Milton reported 84 calls for the past month and 956 calls for 2021, which was an increase from the prior year. Chief Milton stated EGP is continuing monthly and online training. Chief Milton reported that Service 5, their fire police truck, had numerous repairs, Engine 52 had its front tires replaced and Rescue 5 had its alternator replaced. Chief Milton stated that PPE supplies were good and that membership vaccination is at about 92%. Chief Milton reported that several members have tested positive for COVID and that EGP has re-instituted a mask mandate. Chief Milton stated the firehouse should have been resided in the fall which did not occur due to supply shortages, but they are hoping for the work to be done in the spring and that three new awnings, built by members, had been installed. Chief Milton reported critical needs as the replacement of Engine 52 and the firehouse parking lot. 6. Laurel Hill: Deputy Chief Pete Clark discussed recent community efforts and thanked the public for their support. Deputy Chief Clark reported that PPE supplies were sufficient and that a mask mandate had been reinstated for members. Deputy Chief Clark stated 95% of members were vaccinated but there have been some breakthrough COVID-19 cases. Deputy Chief Clark discussed what courses members are currently taking. President Pro Tem DeLucia reopened citizen comment to the public. Beryl Fishbone of 19 Bliss Place stated her desire for better communication with the public regarding mask and test kit distributions. Beryl Fishbone noted that certain distributions started earlier than advertised, leading to confusion. Mayor Peter Nystrom stated he appreciated her concerns but in both cases the traffic authority had to make a judgment call as citizens arrived so early and pre-stacked the line, which became a management issue for those involved. Mayor Nystrom continued that all agencies involved are doing the best they can in these times where decisions need to be made involving traffic management and public safety. Mayor Nystrom stated the distributions were intended to start on time, however the sites were overwhelmed by the need and the public arriving so early created a hazard in the neighborhoods where the distributions were held. VII. Public Safety items for future discussion: None. VIII. Next Meeting: February 9, 2022. IX. Adjournment: Upon a motion by Alderwoman Gould seconded by Alderwoman Burto, the meeting was adjourned at 8:37 PM. All voted in favor. The motion passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted, Katherine Rose ADDENDUM I City Manager’s Report to Public Safety January 2022 I met with the Fire Chiefs on December 14. Due to scheduling conflicts, two of the Chiefs are attending the 3-month long State Fire Code Class, the Chiefs have not been able to meet on their own over the past month. We had a longer than usual meeting with many items discussed. One of my primary goals this meeting was to give the Chiefs the opportunity to express any outstanding concerns or issues with the Statewide Radio project, as we are ready to make the commitment with the vendor to take advantage of some significant end of year financial incentives. The Chiefs had questions regarding training and system capabilities, but otherwise they are all very supportive of updating the fire service radios and CAD system. The Chiefs discussed resurrecting a program for NFA students that gives an introduction to the Fire service. The program ran for six years but has not been done the past two years due to COVID. Chief Eyberse is the lead on this program and will be soliciting the other departments for assistance in administering the 12-week program. The Chiefs discussed the firefighting protective gear that each department uses and the possibility of using one vendor or brand of gear as a group. This may have potential for savings in bulk orders as well as provide a standard specification for gear across all groups. There currently are at least three different brands, and specifications for gear used by the groups. They will work together to see what gear specifications they can coordinate on in the future. Two of the Chiefs asked where the City stood on the RFP for Firefighter physicals. This has been a project involving the City Purchasing Agent and the Chiefs over the past few months. Chief Montoya will check with Bob Castronova on the status of the RFP draft and report back to the Chiefs. We discussed the recent City Policy on COVID Vaccinations and testing requirements. The Volunteers were not initially included in this, but we did discuss whether they should be included in the future. On a COVID related topic, it was brought up that a department encountered a patient on an EMS call that refused to be treated by non-vaccinated responders. This has not been widely encountered, but it warrants further discussion. The Chiefs discussed recent calls of mutual aid. There were some concerns addressed on communications and acknowledgement to incident command that the Chiefs will follow up on. There was also discussion on utilizing one group over another and what is best for resource response. There are many factors involved and each call is different. The Chiefs understand that the Automatic Aid is one of my priorities and needs to be implemented for the benefit of all. I spoke about the need for planning future apparatus purchases. I didn’t go into depth, I just wanted to inform the Chiefs that this will be on future agendas. My next scheduled meeting with the Chiefs is January 11th. If able to, I will include notes from that meeting in an update before the January 12th Public Safety meeting. ADDENDUM II Statistics for Month Calls for Service 3429 Incident Reports generated 345 Arrests made 104 Accidents investigated 125 Significant incidents for the month 12/6/2021 Shooting - 139 McKinley Ave 12/9/2021 Xtra Mart Robbery 12/10/2021 Assist Agency – Foxwoods Shooting Investigation 12/11/2021 Arson 12/12/2021 DV Stabbing - Assault 12/25/2021 Shooting - 80 Broadway Staffing/Hiring matters ● Three recruit officers graduated from the Connecticut Police Academy and have begun Field Training  ● Mandatory Overtime is high due to vacant positions, COVID Exposures and other factors Community Outreach/events attended or facilitated ● Stuff a cruiser event ● Tommy Toy Fund Giveaways ● NFA Law Enforcement Club ● School visits Traffic hotspots addressed ● McKay Street ● Norman Road ● Plain Hill Road Norwich Fire Department Norwich, CT This report was generated on 1/7/2022 1:57:45 PM Breakdown by Major Incident Types for Date Range Zone(s): All Zones | Start Date: 12/01/2021 | End Date: 12/31/2021 MAJOR INCIDENT TYPE # INCIDENTS % of TOTAL Fires 13 5.88% Rescue & Emergency Medical Service 146 66.06% Hazardous Condition (No Fire) 15 6.79% Service Call 10 4.52% Good Intent Call 14 6.33% False Alarm & False Call 23 10.41% TOTAL 221 100% Only REVIEWED and/or LOCKED IMPORTED incidents are included.
