Theodore Richard stated that T police have increased their presence but it didn’t seem to make much of an impact, and he was aware they can’t be there 24 hours a day. Theodore Richard stated that Boswell Avenue needed something to make cars slow down on the long stretches of road, such as more stop signs. Theodore Richard stated that some cars do 60 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour. Theodore Richard added that maybe additional traffic lights would help, but that something needed to be done. Cheryl Armstrong of 108 Washington Street stated that she is a mail carrier for Boswell Avenue.

Cherly Armstrong stated that recently a gentleman was pinned between two vehicles, where she had almost parked. Cherly Armstrong stated she spoke to her postmaster who is considering safety concerns on this route and is thinking about issuing no delivery there, which would affect a lot of citizens. Cheryl Armstrong suggested installing safety bumps and noted that something needed to be addressed. Chery Armstrong stated it was a safety hazard for her to deliver mail and that there was another mail carrier on the route last summer on route whose vehicle was hit. Cheryl Armstrong stated she would hate to see residents not get important mail because of speeding concerns. Sandy Carpenter stated her father resided at 295 Boswell Avenue and that his house was hit by a driver under the influence.

AF President Pro Tem DeLucia closed citizen comment 7:10PM. V. Unfinished Business: a. COVID-19 Update: i. Infection rates & trends - local/regional/statewide: President T Pro Tem DeLucia stated he had noticed different variants reported on the news and was curious if there were affects to the public safety complex. City Manager John Salomone stated there was a new variant that has taken over most new cases in the state. City Manager Salomone stated that New London County was still in the low range and that the variant had affected mostly the western part of the state so far, but historically the virus travels east over time. City Manager Salomone stated that, anecdotally, the variant seems to be a less harsh version of the virus, but it was hard to say because there is a high level of vaccinations in New London County. City Manager Salomone stated the city was not taking any additional steps currently. City Manager Salomone reported that city personnel from time to time over the past few months had contracted the virus, but it had leveled out at that point. Chief Patrick Daley stated that while symptoms aren’t as severe they seem to last longer, especially to get a negative test result on the PCR test. b. City Manager’s Report on Fire Chief’s meetings: President Pro Tem DeLucia read the report submitted by the city manager into the record. SEE ADDENDUM I. c. Dispatch & Radio System upgrades: i. Project progress to date: Chief Patrick Daley stated that Lieutenant Perry sent out an update last month notifying of a supply chain bump which put the project on hold. Chief Daley stated he had a conversation with Motorola to restart parts of the project not affected by supply chain delays. Chief Daley stated he was meeting next week with the project manager and was hoping by the next month to return to a timeline. Chief Daley stated the initial timeline may have been a tad aggressive, but things were moving forward to be back on pace. ii. Run-card revision/GPS based dispatching: President Pro Tem DeLucia stated he was aware that everyone is working on this item. President Pro Tem DeLucia continued that he was aware at this point the system needs to be updated and that there was an ongoing effort D to determine how the data needs to be put in the system. VI. New Business: a. Traffic Enforcement: President Pro Tem DeLucia stated that there was an R issue city wide of driving issues such as distracted driving and speeding; which were his personal observations from driving around. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated that what was heard from the citizens was concrete evidence of what is actually occurring. Chief Daley stated that all concerns the public has are valid and that there is a speeding issue, more than any other driving infraction. Chief Daley stated AF that from June 17th Norwich Police had increased its patrol up until the July fireworks, as part of a ‘surge.’ Chief Daley reported that NPD Stopped approximated 647 cars throughout the city during that time and tried to focus on problem areas. Chief Daley stated the goal was high visibility and high volume stops to detract others. Chief Daley stated that officers were in the area during the Boswell Avenue accident that was referenced in citizen comment, but not in that exact spot at the time. Chief Daley stated that during the surge multiple suspension arrests and DUI arrests were made. Chief Daley stated he would have a better surge report next month after they T had gone through the data. Chief Daley stated that NPD has attempted to find the root cause of what is occurring and that one possible cause is the residual effect from COVID isolation. Chief Daley stated that newer cars are very sound proof, however noted they did have a lot of safety warning features. Chief Daley stated it was an ongoing effort and noted that traffic fatalities had been up as well. Chief Daley stated that speeding equipment had been put out. Chief Daley stated the surge report received for Boswell Avenue was high and showed 4,400 cars traveled the road in a 10 day period with the highest speeding time occurring from 2 to 4PM. Chief Daley noted that the NPD call volume for the week prior to the surge was extremely high and over time throughout the surge the volume of calls seemed to decrease, likely due to the high visibility of officers on the streets. Chief Daley stated the surges are not publicized as it’s not beneficial to those not adhering to traffic laws. Chief Daley stated a lot of the recent accidents have been caused by driving under the influence, which was another issue that had increased since the pandemic and needed to be addressed. Alderwoman Burto asked if the increased patrols would stop after the surge. Chief Daley responded that NPD would not be as visible on low priority streets but would continue its patrol on high priority streets, as usual. Alderwoman Burto asked if a speedbox could be placed on Boswell Avenue. Chief Daley responded that the speedboxes were moved throughout the city and would likely end up on Boswell Avenue because of the issues shown from the recent study. Alderwoman Burto asked if the chief had any comments in regards to Baltic Road. Chief Daley stated the road was not a high volume road and there was not a police presence there. Chief Daley continued that the problems on the road had decreased over the years and speed data reflected moderate, not severe, issues. Alderwoman Burto questioned what could be done regarding scooters traveling in the middle of a traffic lane and without a license plate. Chief Daley explained that scooters had the right to travel on the roadway and those without a 49CC engine did not require a license to operate them. Chief Daley stated this caused difficulties in tracking down the owners of the scooters and that the city could decide to seize scooters in violation of traffic laws. Chief Daley stated that scooters were an issue throughout the city and was another thing that needed to be addressed. Chief Daley stated that scooter enforcement was an issue that has been brought to the state by various police chiefs. Chief Daley stated the scooters had the same right of way as bicycles if they are able to maintain the speed of the road. Chief Daley stated the recommendation of NPD a few years prior was to require scooters to be registered and insured, and that drivers carry a valid license. Discussion ensued. Alderwoman Burto asked if anything was being done to address the ATV activity in the city. Chief Daley stated ATV’s were not safe to chase and that the police relied on public assistance on identifying owners so that infractions could be issued. Alderwoman Gould D agreed that ATVs and scooters could maneuver differently than vehicles, therefore presenting dangers in pursuing them. Alderwoman Gould asked if NPD would continue to monitor Boswell Avenue during the 2 to 4PM time period. Chief Dlaey responded they would and in regards to the suggestion of rumble strips, he was not familiar with the use of them on municipal roads. R Chief Daley stated there were possible speed reduction measures that could be designed into the road, such as bump outs. Discussion ensued regarding scooter enforcement. President Pro Tem DeLucia discussed issuing more severe infractions in order to curb the current driving issues. Chief Daley explained the impact of high visibility stops. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if there were officers dedicated to traffic enforcement. Chief Daley AF responded that if the manpower situation was better, a dedicated team would be something to look at. Chief Daley stated NPD had approached the council five years prior for funding for a traffic unit and it was not funded. Chief Daley explained if a unit was formed it would need the flexibility to work different times during the day and would require potentially three or four officers. Chief Daley stated that enforcement would need to be increased before dedicating resources. President Pro Tem DeLucia discussed the need for issuing tickets based on the severity of current issues. Chief Daley responded it was a conversation worth looking at but noted the success of T traffic enforcement campaigns of the past, such as increased seatbelt usage with the ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaign. b. Capehart Mill 2.0: President Pro Tem Delucia stated there was another fire that occurred at Capehart Mill within the past six weeks and that the issue had reached the city planning department in regards to finding ways to clear the site so that there are no longer combustibles on it, which had a high price tag. President Pro Tem Delucia stated the city was hoping to get assistance from other agencies, such as the state, and asked the departments if there was anything to report since the most recent fire. Chief Tracy Montoya clarified that the fire was the third to occur in the past six weeks and that there were multiple points of origin to the fire. Chief Montoya stated there were people sleeping in the area adjacent to the fire. Chief Motoya reported that the fire marshall completed a walk through with the state police and returned home a runaway juvenile that was staying on the site. Chief Montota reported that approximately 10 to 14 people were staying in the area, including children. Chief Montoya stated the area was difficult for apparatus to maneuver in and that they could not cross the canal. Chief Montoya stated the parking lot of the former Mr. Big building was also not suitable for apparatus and recommended that none go deeper than halfway into the parking lot. Chief Montoya stated that the owner of the former Atlantic Packing property was able to facilitate a meeting between himself and a representative of Capeheart Mill, the latter of whom made a report to give to the property owners. Chief Montoya stated it was positive that there was npw contact with the parties involved. Chief Montoya stated after walking the property he noted that the content hazard is minimal as the building is fairly empty. Chief Montoya stated the recent fires have come from fallen membranes of the buildings as well as vegetation that has taken over the property. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if the two bridges that cross the canal were safe to travel on foot with equipment. Chief Montoya responded that they had crossed them but were advised not to do so. Alderwoman Gould asked if there was knowledge on how the recent fire started. Chief Montoya responded the fire appeared not to be accidental and the investigation was ongoing. Alderwoman Gould asked what was being done to hold the property owner responsible for the building, as the maintenance should not fall on municipalities when there is an owner available. Chief Montoya stated he did his best to convey that to the representative he met with, as well as that the building is a safety hazard to those utilizing the property for shelter as well as first responders. Chief Daley stated the city currently did not have cameras focused in that area and that he was looking into borrowing cameras to put there. Chief Daley stated that NPD would be utilizing the arson task force in regards to the property. D c. Significant Fire Events: President Pro Tem DeLucia thanked everyone R who has been sending in reports and copying the committee regarding significant fire events. d. Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM II FOR MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS i. NPU Update: Barry Ellison reported sporadic COVID cases but no AF current staffing issues. Barry Ellison stated that reservoirs were at 90% capacity due to the recent lack of rain, but were not of concern at that point.

Gregory Allard discussed the canceled response call breakdown referenced in his submitted report, which accounts for 26 percent of the entire response volume. Gregory Allard discussed the various types of calls that were responded to during the month, all referenced in his submitted report. Alderwoman Gould asked if the tracking of canceled calls was new to which Gregory Allard responded it was not, but had not been included in the report before and thought it may be of interest. Alderwoman Gould asked if 26 percent of calls was high. Gregory Allard responded it was slightly below the average which was typically 30 percent of calls. iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley stated the prior month was quite busy with the severity of accidents going up, however noted they lessened towards the end of the month, likely due to the surge. Chief Daley reported that he received a letter from MADD that Norwich led the state in DUI arrests for 2021?

Respectfully Submitted, Katherine Rose ADDENDUM I City Manager’s Report to Public Safety July 13, 2022 meeting I met with the Fire Chiefs on June 29th. The primary topic of our meeting was Automatic Aid. Chief Montoya provided a draft automatic aid procedure for input from the other Chiefs. There were a number of concerns raised by the Chiefs that the group discussed. The volunteer Chiefs are concerned that automatic aid will impact their membership, leading to a reduction in participation if they feel they are not needed. The point made by Chief Montoya was that the types of calls that would receive automatic aid are multi-company operations and all personnel are needed. There are concerns that responding companies may not be familiar with out of district operations such as tanker shuttles and other unique operations. There is a variety of response types that not all departments are familiar with. The key to addressing these challenges is joint training. Wear and tear on the apparatus with the increased volume of calls is a concern of all of the Chiefs. While the exact impact is not known at this time, it will need to be considered for future apparatus replacement priorities. Dispatch capabilities were called into question in terms of implementing new policy into the current dispatch procedures. Dispatch already does automatic aid for all of the districts as required for schools, Backus Hospital, dual-responses on the highway and other types of calls. There is no question that automatic aid will add to the dispatcher’s workload, but it is a manageable task for them. The Chiefs asked when automatic aid would be implemented, as they had heard rumors that it would take effect the beginning of July. There is no date for implementation, other than to say sooner is better than later, once the Chiefs have a chance to review the draft with their officers and Dispatch has the chance to provide input. Following our meeting Chief Montoya sent an updated draft to the group and will communicate with the Chiefs during the month for their input. Chief Eyberse informed us that the NPU gas line work is starting on Yantic Rd. During the project Yantic will stage an apparatus at Public Works to help reduce delays in response due to the utility work. As discussed in last month’s meeting, the City has signed a contract with Physician One to provide physical exam services to all of the Fire Departments. Some of the departments have already used Physician One services, but now will be able to utilize the services in the fire houses, other than blood draws which will need to be done at a local lab. Occum has scheduled physicals for mid-July and will provide the group with feedback on how to make it work best for each department. The contract with Physician One will provide a consistent standard across the departments for interior firefighters, as well as support personnel. Taftville has had the foam system disabled on Engine 21. The State had banned the use of PFAS containing foams last year and had planned to remove all foam and decontaminate the systems, but the process proved too expensive and ineffective at completely removing the contaminants. The onus is now on the municipalities to remove the foam from service at their own expense. Fleet Maintenance will be draining the systems, then disabling them to prevent use of PFAS contaminated systems. The expense of this project and the extent of operational impact has not yet been determined. The other departments will follow Taftville’s lead in disabling the apparatus systems with the support of Fleet Maintenance. Our next meeting is scheduled for July 20th.
