V. Unfinished Business:
a. COVID-19 Update:
i. Infection rates & trends - local/regional/statewide:
City Manager John Salomone reported local infection rates had
increased but were not nearly what they had been and that the state
infection rates were well below pandemic numbers. City Manager
Salomone reported that one city employee was currently out with
COVID and noted that both governors recently contracted COVID as
well. City Manager Salomone stated that offices were open to the
public and the city was urging those not vaccinated to wear masks,
but there was not a mandate. City Manager Salmone reported that
about 66% of citizens in the city were vaccinated and about 34% were
unvaccinated. City Manager Salomone stated that rates were trending
upwards within the state. President Pro Tem DeLucia noted that it
didn’t appear that those unvaccinated were wearing masks and that
the New Haven County school district was returning to a mask
mandate. City Manage Salomone stated that the hospitalization rate
had increased within New London County but that rates were still
below the state average.
b. City Manager’s Report on Fire Chief’s meetings: Alderman
DeLucia read the report by the city manager into the record. SEE
ADDENDUM I.
c. Dispatch & Radio System upgrades:
i. Project progress to date: Refer to City Manager’s Report in
ADDENDUM I.
Chief Patricky Daley stated the City Manager’s report is accurate and
the vendor is moving along quickly, but will need the departments’
run card information when time comes.
ii. Run-card revision: Refer to City Manager’s Report in
ADDENDUM I.
President Pro Tem DeLucia asked the departments to discuss fine-
tuning their run cards prior to submitting to the vendor within their
department updates.
VI. New Business:
a. Discussion and Possible Action: Requesting a letter of support
from the City Council to the CT Legislature for Proposed Bill #43
“An Act Concerning Funding for Regional Fire Training Schools”.
President Pro Tem DeLucia explained that the proposed bill would make the
funding of regional fire training schools a line item in the state budget.
Alderwoman Stacy Gould made a motion to request a letter of support from
Norwich City Council to the state legislature for the proposed bill for Proposed
Bill #43 “An Act Concerning Funding for Regional Fire Training Schools.”
Alderwoman Tracey Burto seconded. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated he
was happy the Committee was given the opportunity to support the bill.
Alderwoman Gould agreed and noted it made sense for the schools to be
funded through the general fund. All voted in favor. The motion passed
unanimously.
b. Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM II FOR
MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS
i. NPU Update: Barry Ellison reported that NPU’s employee COVID
vaccination rate was up to 88% and they had no recent major
outbreaks. Barry Ellison stated that all facilities were open to the
public and that all employees were back to work in person. Barry
Ellison stated that reservoirs were at 100% capacity and that NPU’s
construction season was starting to ramp up. Barry Ellison stated if
any concerns were witnessed to please let NPU know immediately so
that they can communicate with their contractors. Barry Ellison
reported that NPU has been assistancing with the NPD generator
control system which should be done by the end of the following week.
ii. American Ambulance: Operations Manager Patrick Guathier
reported 745 emergencies in the last month including 490 BLS calls.
Patrick Gauthier stated that last week AA placed 3 new ambulances
into services; two are replacing those going into retirement which
puts their fleet at 20 vehicles. Patrick Gauthier reported that staffing
remains a concern but that AA is maintaining coverage in the City of
Norwich while actively recruiting. Patrick Gauthier reported that AA
has been promoting enrollment in the SERA ‘earn as you learn’ type
program where recruits are paid to go through the EMT class and
then are hired, with priority given to those in the Norwich area and
any currently serving in volunteer departments. Patrick Gauthier
stated that PPE supplies were well stocked and that one member
tested positive for COVID in the last month. Patrick Gauthier
reported that AA had lifted its mask mandate, is open to the public
and that proper PPE is worn on all calls.
iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley stated abnormal
events continued within town and that investigations into recent
shootings had gone well. Chief Daley noted the retirement of Julie St.
Gene. Chief Daley stated that city and public buildings had recently
been hit with a heavy wave of graffiti. President Pro Tem DeLucia
asked if the city had been affected by catalytic converter thefts. Chief
Daley responded it had and there seemed to be on average one to two
occurrences a week. Chief Daley stated the thefts more recently
seemed to target shopping centers and hotel parking lots. Chief Daley
noted that the Connecticut Police Chief was in favor of marking
catalytic converters difficult to sell but Connecticut’s proximity to
other states made prevention difficult. Chief Daley discussed various
crime factors. Chief Daley stated that once NPD is able to acquire
more suitable officers the local response would be increased officer
patrols. Alderwoman Gould asked what the intended use was for the
$350,000 ARPA funds requested by NPD for public safety expansion.
Chief Daley responded that NPD would like to double the amount of
cameras it has in the city and would like to add fixed license plate
readers on some of the main routes in town to assist in crime
resolution.
iv. Emergency Management Update: Chief Tracy Montoya reported
that the radiological metering equipment swapped out with state in
the past month and the annual CERT report was submitted. Chief
Montoya reiterated that any city and public agencies can contact EM
for PPE supplies. Chief Montoya discussed various meetings attended
in the past month.
v. Fire Department Updates
1. Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya reported 177 calls in the last
month which was an increase from the prior month as well as the
prior year. Chief Montoya listed significant responses as a service
call at 86 Water Street for a flooded basement, which was the
third call for flooding at that location in a 2 week period. Chief
Montoya stated that NPU, the building department and health
department were brought on the scene with NPU taking the lead.
Chief Montoya reported that NFD also responded to a potential
jumper on the Water Street Bridge on March 19th. Chief
Montaoya that all volunteer companies provided mutual aid and
assisted with coverage during that time. Chief Montoya also
reported response to a structure fire at 29 Quarto Road on April
8th. Chief Montoya reported that Training Officer Mark Waters
assisted in planning and executing a mass casualty drill for
nursing staff at Norwich Free Academy on March 31st. Chief

volunteer departments regarding having ladder trucks available
in case Truck 1 also goes out of service. Chief Montoya reported
that Squad A was currently on its eighth day out-of-service and
that Marine 1 was pulled out of water for routine maintenance.
Chief Montoya reported that firefighter recruits are in the 10th
week of their program and that the job listings for Battalion Chief
and Captain had closed. Chief Montoya stated that no members
were currently out with COVID and that PPE supplies were
sufficient. Chief Montoya stated that they were working on
consistent terminology and synchronization of the run cards
prior to submitting to the vendor but were always still awaiting
further guidance on CAD input. Chiefs Montoya stated the need
for a regional training ground for local fire services had also been
discussed at recent chiefs meetings. Chief Montoya stated the
chiefs have reached out to Deanne Rhoades about potential city
properties available for use that can host live burns and other
large trainings. Chief Montoya reported he met virtually with
American Ambulance regarding EMD calls and the way they are
coded out. Chief Mont discussed a brief history of issues with
EMD call dispatching. Alderwoman Gould asked what types of
codes were added to the list of firefighter emergency responses.
Chief Montoyta responded that nine codes were added but he
would get back to the Committee on which specific codes.
Alderwoman Gould asked who would be responsible for the
services provided at 86 Water Street. Chief Montoya referred to
Barry Ellison of NPU who responded that there was no definitive
answer yet but a best outcome is being worked on and that there
may be an ownership issue. Barry Ellison stated the Waste Water
Committee could notify the Public Safety Committee of updates.
President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if NFD’s run cards were, for
the most part, set to input into the new system. Chief Montoya
responded NFD was examining their internal systems in relation
to run card revisions to refine them to their best ability.

Scotland Road and stood on standby for Yantic Fire Department
while Chief Eyebrse was inducted into the hall of fame on April
7th. Captain Lawton reported that the replacement of Engine 41
was a critical need. Captain Lawton stated staffing remained at
35 members and that the new building sign was installed and
working perfectly. Captain Lawton stated the new doors and key
FOB system were also installed. Chief Lawton stated the floor
work should start at the end of the month and they are hoping

open and that all members remained vigilant wearing masks on
calls. Chief Mitlon stated membership vaccination rate was at 92-
93%. Chief Milton stated he was working with a vendor on re-
siding the firehouse but were currently experiencing a lull due to
determining how many antennas will be removed with the new
radio system. Chief Milton reported critical needs as the
replacement of Engine 52 and the station parking lot.
Chief Milton reported EGP was fine-tuning their run cards but
were essentially good to go.
6. Laurel Hill: Chief Aaron Westervelt started his report by listing
the nine new codes for EMD coded calls that would now trigger a

area is not known; burns less than 18% of body (unknown status
or other code not applicable); convulsions or seizures where
effective breathing is not verified; psychiatric abnormal behaivor
or suicide attempt; difficult breathing or attempted hanging
(unknown status or code not applicable); stabbings or gun
trauma with peripheral wound; and strokes with breathing
abnormal. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if the departments
were looking at changing the way they respond accordingly to
which Chief Westervelt clarified that those types of BLS calls
were not previously responded to by the fire departments.
Chief Westervelt reported one new member along with several
new applications received. Chief Westervelt discussed member
classes and reported that PPE supplies were good. Chief

City Manager’s Report to Public Safety
April 13, 2022 meeting
I met with the Fire Chiefs on March 15th with a couple of guests from the Motorola CAD team. The
conversation was all CAD related and did not cover any of the usual topics with the Chiefs.
The Motorola CAD development team was in Norwich for three days of meetings to kick off the CAD
project. They met at the Police Department with various stakeholders from: Police, Fire, MIS, NPU, as
well as representatives from the State.
With the Motorola team in town during the week of our scheduled meeting, it was suggested that we
take advantage of their presence and have the Fire rep and Project Manager meet with the Chiefs. The
meeting gave a brief overview of the system and provided the opportunity for the Chiefs to ask questions
of the CAD team.
The Motorola team discussed apparatus designations for resource allocation, unit status in the CAD, order
of dispatch of available units, and notification capabilities of the CAD. As this was their kickoff visit, there
were not a lot of specifics to share. They will be working with the Chiefs to obtain a listing of resources
and run card procedures to be incorporated into the CAD.
It was a good meeting with Motorola, but did not allow the Chiefs and I to catch up on the other issues
we’ve been working on. The Chiefs will plan to meet amongst themselves.
With the upcoming budget schedule, I will not be meeting with the Chiefs in April. I will be available to
them if they have specific needs to address and will look to schedule our next meeting in May.
Statistics for Month
Calls for Service 3605
Incident Reports generated 347
Arrests made 155
Accidents investigated 120
Significant incidents for the month
3/5/2022 – A shooting victim walked up to a police officer’s vehicle on Washington Street.
Victim was uncooperative and gave two false names before he was properly identified by family
members at the hospital. The victim, is on Federal Probation for gun and drug charges. He
suffered one gunshot wound to the leg. Information from area police agencies lead to the fact that
the incident likely occurred outside of Norwich.
3/23/2022 – Information was received that a juvenile had access to a handgun and was posting
pictures on social media. The 16 year old was identified and his home was searched with consent
from the parent. A loaded 9mm P-80 “Ghost Gun” with an extended magazine was located in the
juvenile’s room. He was issued a JV summons for a next-day arraignment and sent to Waterford
JV Court.
3/26/2022 – A shooting investigation was conducted at Pistol Pete’s bar on Stonington Rd. The
call came in as a domestic and callers reported a black male was holding a handgun. Upon
arrival, officers located the alleged victim whose explanation of the events did not coincide with
the evidence.
During the month, the Narcotic Unit made two arrests related to narcotic investigations. A
suspect was arrested on drug charges in addition to a warrant related to drugs. Two search
warrants were executed within the city. One search warrant at 287 Main Street yielded a large
amount of crack-cocaine and over $8,000 in cash. The other search warrant at 73 School Street
yielded nothing noteworthy. The target of the investigation left the residence just prior to our
arrival but our presence in the School Street area has its benefits since the recent uptick in crime.
Also in March, two juveniles were arrested on the strength of warrants for their involvement in a
robbery which took place in Mohegan Park. The robbery was a drug deal of THC vape pens. The
arrest warrants sent the juveniles to Hartford Detention.

Good Evening Chairman DeLucia, Public Safety Committee and attendees,
My apologies for being unable to attend this evening's Public Safety meeting in person.
During the month of March Yantic responded to 50 incidents. 60% were rescue medical, which
included 9 motor vehicle accidents. False alarms in several categories totalled 8% of all
responses. There were 3 fires.
On April 7, 2022 the YFECo held its 175th annual meeting, all officers from 2021 remain in
position.
The YFECo has generated an SOP related to the Avian Flu and responses to commercial
chicken coops, this is available to all upon request. The proximity of Yantic to Bozrah, Franklin,
Lebanon and Colchester, as well as previous responses to all commercial coops was the
incentive to generate such a document. The YFECo has been in contact with DEMHS Region 4
and all the previously mentioned fire departments, related to this topic.
Pre-planning of the Hale Manufacturing construction project has begun and YFECo training has
been set for the remainder of the Spring and Summer months on water delivery and fire attack
at the mill. All Norwich departments will be involved in training regarding the mill.
Thank you all.
