IV. Citizen Comment: Theodore Richard of 284 Boswell Avenue stated a lot of horrific
accidents had occurred lately near his home; atleast 5 serious accidents within the last 3
weeks. Theodore Richard continued that the accidents included vehicles into houses, hit
and runs, and the severity seemed to be getting worse. 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. Cheryl Armstrong stated that speeding is a problem on Boswell Avenue and that
many houses have been driven into and that she has had many close calls with vehicles
while she is on the sidewalk. 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. Sandy Carpenter continued that the home was hit full
on and that the car bounced off of her father’s house just after midnight on June 16th.
Sandy Carpenter stated the driver fled into the woods and that police had to chase him
with canines. Sandy Carpenter stated that numerous accidents occur in the area and that
she also works at the postal office. Sandy Carpenter stated that between Ruth Street and
Pratt Street, off of Boswell Avenue, cars go extremely fast. Sandy Carpenter stated that
houses on both sides of the street have been hit. Sandy Carpenter stated that the post
office met regarding this issue. Sandy Carpenter suggested installing rumble strips to alert
vehicles they are speeding and to slow down. Sandy Carpenter stated the police are very
busy, but something needs to be done to address the issue. Sandy Carpenter stated that
the man who hit her father’s home was a repeat offender and was released from jail the
following day. Sandy Carpenter stated it did not seem as though things were being
enforced and that something needs to be done to address the speeding on Boswell
Avenue.
D

Avenue seems to be the worst area on the road for speeding. Chery Armstrong stated that

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.

who has been sending in reports and copying the committee regarding
significant fire events.

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. Barry Ellison stated that in case of further drought
NPU postponed hydrant flushing. Barry Ellison reported with the
height of the Atlantic hurricane season approaching NPU was
making tree trimming preparations and trying to get ahead of supply
chain issues with restoration materials, as well as updating
emergency plans.

T
AA had its 50th anniversary on June 24, 2022. Gregory Allard

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? Chief
Daley stated he would begin applying again for DUI, distracted
driving and seat belt enforcement grants to assist in motor vehicle
efforts. Chief Daley stated National Night Out would be held the first
Tuesday in August at Howard Brown Park. Chief Daley discussed
recent retirements. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked how staffing
was impacted by the retirements. Chief Daley stated there was a
tremendous loss and he hired two people from the police academy,
but there remained multiple vacancies. Chief Daley stated that

what departments assisted at the various fires. Chief Montoya
R
also discussed the small team size and lack of experienced
members provided by certain mutual aid departments, as well as
the need to know what type of crews to expect on calls. Chief
Montoya reported the replacement of the chief’s vehicle and
Battalion 2 as critical needs. Chief Montoya explained that
Battalion 2 was currently utilized as a service truck, but if
AF
Battalion 2 is put into service as a battalion the department is

when the chief’s vehicle is replaced, the old vehicle is passed

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.
