Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM I FOR MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott reported that after many months the reservoirs were at full pond as of last month. Eric McDermott discussed the recent power emergency experienced by the New England power grid Christmas eve and what occurred. Eric McDermott stated that due to emergency procedures exercised by ISO New England and distribution providers the grid, which covers Maine to Connecticut, was able to be re-stabilized without any power disturbance. Eric McDermott stated this was not caused by a natural gas shortage and that several older generators on the New England Grid did not meet their power obligations so power generation fell short, primarily on reserve generation. Eric McDermotted reported that ISO New England went through all its reserves to keep the grid stabilized and that there were no concerns of blackouts or anything of that nature. ii.

Chief Daley stated that, for critical needs, as the department got back up to full staff space issues were increasing in terms of dispatch space and female locker room space. Chief Daley stated that the police department building needed to be addressed and the department could do additional programs if not for the space constraints. Chief Daley stated he also had spoken to the City Manager about transitioning the department’s ammunition from 40 caliber to 9 millimeter. Chief Daley stated this was a decision made after the Bristol Police shooting incidents and gave the history behind the changes in caliber over the years.
