Citizens Present:
I. Call to Order and Quorum: President Pro Tem DeLucia called the meeting
AF
to order at 7:00 PM. There was a quorum present.
II. Adoption of Previous Meeting Minutes: Alderwoman Stacy Gould made a
motion to accept the October 12, 2022 regular and November 17, 2022 special
meeting minutes, with some spelling adjustments. Alderwoman Tracey Burto
seconded. All voted in favor. The motion passed unanimously.
IV. Citizen Comment: Bonnie Malichelski of 16 South A Street stated the city roads
T
were extremely treacherous Monday morning before 6AM, which was the same day the
schools were delayed. Bonnie Malichelski noted that the 8th Street Bridge in particular
was covered in ice with no sand or salt put down in preparation. Bonnie Malichelski
stated it seemed as though the state roads had been treated but not the city roads, and it
was not the first time she experienced this. Bonnie Malichelski questioned who she
should address these concerns to when there are no police out patrolling. President Pro
Tem DeLucia asked Chief Patrick Daley if citizens could contact dispatch to have concerns
directed to public works. Chief Daley responded they could and that the police
department had radios that connect with the plow trucks. Chief Daley stated he did see
city trucks out working late Sunday night but could not speak for when they were out on
the roads. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated that he and Alderwoman Gould were on the
Public Works Committee and would discuss the issue at their Monday meeting.
V. On-going Business:
a. 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. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated the report was in
regards to the November 2, 2022 chiefs meeting and had been entereted
into the record at the last city council meeting.
b. Dispatch & Radio System Upgrades Update: Chief Patrick Daley
stated the project was moving along, but that he would defer to Chief Tracy
Montoya regarding the provisioning aspect. Chief Montoya reported that
the team from Motorola visited the city last week for the third week-long
visitation for CAD provisions to cover the dispatch side of the project. Chief
Montoya stated there were multiple layers to the CAD. Chief Montoya
stated the departments worked on their ‘beats’ that the City Manager
referenced in his report and passed along to Norwich Public Utilities to
enter into the GIS. Chief Montoya stated that once all beats were
completed a source recommendation could be given to the run cards, or
CAD. Chief Montoya stated the delivery of the servers had caused a delay
and that all the work done so far has been on the cloud which can be
transferred to the servers once they are available. Chief Montoya stated the
best delivery date he could get was the upcoming summer. Chief Montoya
D
reported that weekly meeting updates were held on the radio project but
that nothing had changed since the last Public Safety meeting. Chief
Montoya stated the following month Norwich Fire Department would have
everything installed and would be holding off on the portables. Chief
Montoya continued that once that work was complete they would begin on
R
the volunteer departments, but he was not sure how long that would take.
b. Traffic Enforcement Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported that NPD
continued enforcement efforts in hot spots. Chief Daley stated that two
AF
areas of concern the past month were Rockwell and Scotland Road and
that there was a lot of activity on West Main Street this month due to the
holidays. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated he and Alderwoman Gould
heard concerns the previous night from Greenville neighborhood watch.
President Pro Tem DeLucia continued that Alderwoman Gould explained
to citizens that manpower had an effect on enforcement city wide. Chief
Daley responded that NPD patrols had spent a good amount of time on
T
North Main and Central Avenue and within those neighborhoods. Chief
Daley asked the council members to relay any complaints or suggested hot
spots to him or Community Relations Office Chris Chasting. Alderwoman
Gould added that those at the meetings noted that speeds had decreased
on Boswell and other roads as long as an officer was in the area.
VI. New Business:
a. Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM II FOR
MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS
i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott reported that reservoirs are now at
93% pond and that fire depts can now perform regular trainings.
Eric McDermott stated that Pete Alegro took over for the Water
Distribution Information who retired last month and would be
reaching out to the departments. Eric McDermott reminded chiefs
to report any water taken for fires or training. Eric McDermott spoke
about the recent substation attacks that had been reported in the
news. Eric McDermott stated that NPU was very closely monitoring
the events and working with various agencies as well as attending
regular industry meetings regarding the events. Eric McDermott
stated that there was not any additional information to share than
what had already been reported on. Eric Mcdermott reported in the
past month there were also a lot of communications among service
providers about an electricity shortfall during the upcoming winter.
Eric McDermott explained that with the closing of power plants
throughout New England 60% of energy in the city now came from
natural gas. Eric McDermott continued that the down side to that is
New England is restricted on its natural gas supply with only so
much coming into the region, so that if there was ever a shortfall on
natural gas customers who use that energy for heat would have
priority over others. Eric McDermott stated if the city were to
experience a prolonged cold weather event that lasts over many days
to weeks there could be a shortfall of natural gas. Eric McDermott
stated that currently all predictions were for a moderate winter with
a low risk of any shortfall occurring but there is always a chance of it
happening. Eric McDermott continued that if a shortfall were to
occur NPU has an emergency action plan in place in conjunction
with Eversource and ISO New England. Eric McDermott stated that
because the providers monitor a 21-day forecast for energy output
from ISO New England they would ideally know three weeks prior if
a shortfall were to occur and would start coordinating with city
D
agencies. Eric McDermott stated in that situation ISO New England
would proceed to issue a conservation of energy notice that the
providers would then pass on to customers. Eric McDermott stated
if the conversation was not enough to balance out the shortfall ISO
New England would direct a load shedding event, which was not
R
under control by NPU. Eric McDermott stated NPU would be forced
to turn off services for some of its customers which could range from
five and 50 percent of users. Eric McDermott stated that NPU
percentage of customers would be much less than Eversources’. Eric
McDermott stated that ISO New England would then direct NPU to
conduct controlled outages to shift electricity throughout the city.
AF
Eric McDermott reiterated that with the winter forecasted to be
more mild than the last it was very unlikely for this to occur.
President Pro Tem DeLuca asked if law enforcement was involved in
the situation and if any thought was put into enforcing the station.
Eric McDermott stated there had not been any direct discussion but
that NPU works very closely with dispatch who sends regular patrols
to all of the infrastructure. Eric McDermott stated the difficulty in
preventing attacks is that the stations have a large surface area to hit
from a distance, and that they were required to be in proximity to
T
the public. Eric Dermott stated that NPU was working on plans that
would not eliminate the risk, but reduce it. President Pro Tem
DeLucia asked if the city has access to excess gas capacity to assist
protecting the city from a shortage, to a degree. Eric McDermott
stated that NPU customers that use natural gas were somewhat
shielded. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked in the case of controlled
outages if there would be communications with businesses who may
potentially be shut down. Eric McDermott stated that NPU would
take efforts to limit shutting off power to residential homes at night
and businesses during the daytime as much as possible.
Alderwoman Burto asked if warming shelters would be available
during controlled outages. Eric McDermott stated it would definitely
be recommended and would be where communication with public
safety would come into play.
ii. American Ambulance: None.
iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported it had
been a busy month and commended his officers who had to deal
with two shootings within a 24 hour period. Chief Daley stated that
progress was being made with the Violent Crime Task Force. Chief
Daley stated that Community Relations Sergeant Chris Chasting
would be in charge of community policing once staffing leveled out.
Chief Daley reported that two new officers graduated the academy
the past Friday and were going out to FTO the next week. Chief
Daley stated he was aware of the substation attacks referenced by
NPU. Chief Daley stated he hoped to be at full staff in 2023 and was
continuing to hire. Chief Daley stated that community policing was
at the top of his priority list once that happened. Alderwoman Tracy
Burto also commended NPD officers for their level of work this
month with a lot of serious incidents.
iv. Emergency Management Update: Chief Tracy Montoya reported
a quiet hurricane season with no major storms or EOC initiations.
Chief Montoya discussed various in person and virtual meetings
attended, including ones for the CAD and radio projects.
v. Fire Department Updates
1. Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya reported significant responses as
a FAST (firefighter assistance and search time) response to a
multiple building fire in New London on November 21 and
D
another FAST response to the Seaport Marine fire in Mystic.
Chief Montoya noted that assistance was not needed at either
location and reported no injuries. Chief Montoya stated he
attended a walkthrough at Capehart Mill with public works, the
building department and an outside engineer firm who was hired
R
by the city to assess the hazards on site for demolition. Chief
Montoya reported that the replacement of Squad A was at the top
of his critical needs list and had discussed it briefly with the City
Manager. Chief Montoya stated that very frequent industry rate
increases and delayed delivery time frames meant the issue
AF
needed to be acted on sooner than later. Chief Montoya reported
the replacement was quoted at $760,000 in 2021 and his
re-quote in 2022 came to $920,000. Chief Montoya stated that
Marine 1 was scheduled to come out of the water for a couple
weeks for annual routine maintenance, but he did not have a
date yet. Chief Montoya reported that Engine 3 was still out of
service awaiting on parts. Chief Montoya reported that three
members were sworn in on Monday after the fire academy
graduation last Friday. Chief Montoya reported that Director of
T
Safety & Training Mark Waters resigned the past month and the
position would be filled on an interim basis by Battalion Chief
Michael Dziavit. Chief Montoya reported NFD conducted a sonar
and navigation training on Marine 1 and that four members were
currently attending the Fire Officer 3 course. Chief Montoya
discussed various ongoing training sessions. Chief Montoya
reported the LUCAS devices were put into service on five calls so
far. Chief Montoya stated he received the third bid for the
bathroom work at department headquarters and that several
members assisted in refurbishing the Greenville firehouse sign.
Chief Montoya reported no COVID impact and that PPE supplies
were plentiful. Chief Montoya touched on some of the discourse
that occurred regarding fire services and automatic aid. Chief
Montoya stated that professionally, although not personally, he
recognized the need for the ordinance and that from the date of
the implementation it was known the policy would be a living
work in progress. Chief Montoya stated he agreed that a second
alarm assignment is a big draw on resources and personnel so an
adjustment would need to be made with consensus. Chief
Montoya reported he was asked if analysis was done on the cost
of backfilling NFD personnel when members are sent out on
automatic aid calls and the department is committed. Chief
Montoya stated NFD backfills personnel for safety reasons as
they are a minimum manpower department, but it was not
something that occurred often or without thought. Chief
Montoya explained the process behind backfilling employees and
situations when it was required. Chief Montoya stated he ran
numbers from the past six years, from when the reporting system
was changed, and the average for NFD backfill expenses was a
little over 100 hours per year. Chief Montoya noted he did not
break down the numbers of calls that occurred within the city,
out of town, or within volunteer districts after he saw how low
the average was. Chief Montoya stated that regardless of other
feelings, the presentation by President Pro Tem DeLucia to the
city council was for the most part factual and accurate. Chief
Montoya encouraged his fellow chiefs to talk to their members
about separating the message from the messenger. Chief
Montoya stated that in regards to Lafayette Street, discussions
could occur in regards to distances to the firehouses and
response, but no one could speak to what could have happened
to the patient. Chief Montoya stated that the Baltic Lane incident
D
was a perfect example of automatic aid where there was dual
response with multiple companies on scene working together.
Chief Montoya stated there would not have been a successful
turnout without automatic aid.
R
2. Taftville: Chief Timothy Jencks reported a busy month and
noted the response to the Bolduc Lane fire was a true case of
automatic aid working. Chief Jenck stated that apparatus 21 had
a battery issue and Truck 22 had a leaking lift cylinder. Chief
Jencks added that Tower 25 received new tires that they had
AF
been waiting on since February of last year. Chief Jencks
reported that training was going well and that Taftville finished
part one of their OSHA review.
3. Yantic: Chief Bill Eyberse reported 55 calls for the month and
detailed the different types of calls. Chief Eyberse reported
Yantic responded to nine fires including Bolduc Lane, structure
fires in Lisbon and Salem, and a car fire on I-395. Chief Eyberse
T
reported that Yantic conducted training with Norwich
Rehabilitation during a Region 4 drill which assimilated an
evacuation during hurricane season. Chief Eyberse stated their
LUCAS device was in service and had a big push on training.
Chief Eyberse reported that the beats for Yantic were established
and training with NPU was scheduled for January. Chief Eyberse
stated that COVID supplies were good and members were still
wearing masks when in contact with patients. Chief Eyberse
reported the replacement of Squad 36 as a critical need. Chief
Eyberse reported Yantic held a drive for the Sacred Heart food
pantry that past weekend. Chief Eyberse stated he was able to
re-establish the student firefighter program at NFA which would
start in late January.
4. Occum: None. Electronic report submitted.
5. East Great Plain: Chief Keith Milton reported 101 emergency
incidents in the past month. Chief Milton stated the EGP ladder
truck covered the Old Mystic Fire Station while they were on site
of the Seaport Marine fire. Chief Milton stated the EGP tanker
also responded to the Montville scrap yard fire and shuttled
water for over 12 hours. Chief Milton stated they were continuing
regular online and in person monthly training. Chief Milton
reported that one member recently completed their EMT
certification and Firefighter 1 course. Chief Milton stated that
members continued to be vigital with COVID and the flu season.
Chief Milton reported regular apparatus maintenance and that
the service truck was out for a few days for a fuel pump
replacement. Chief Milton reported EGP lost about 20 pounds of
old hose that failed testing, which would be in their budget for
replacement. Chief Milton reported the replacement of Engine 52
and the firehouse parking lot as critical needs.
6. Laurel Hill: Deputy Chief Peter Clark reported Laurel Hill
spent a total of fourteen hours on site providing mutual aid at the
Montville scrap yard fire as well as at the Mystic Firehouse
during the Seaport Marine fire. Deputy Chief Clark reported that
the LUCAS device was in service and all members had been
trained. Deputy Chief Clark reported a new member was voted in
that month and members would be attending EMT and Fire
D
Service Instruction courses in January. Deputy Chief Clark stated
that since 2002 Laurel Hill has annually held a boot drive to
