reported that a representative from the vendor came out to look at
apparatus and stations for installation but did not provide a definite
timeline. Chief Scott Eggert stated the vendor was going to start installing
the mobiles into the trucks, beginning with the city department the next
week, and then would move chronologically through the volunteer
departments. Chief Eggert reported the vendor predicted doing 1 to 2
apparatus per day, but John Raymond said it could be longer depending on
the scope of the work. Chief Patrick Daley (arrived at 7:13 PM) reported
there had been multiple meetings with the fire departments regarding the

VI. New Business:
a. 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. American Ambulance: President Gregory Allard reported 501 calls
for the month of December, 206 of which were ALS transports and
295 BLS transports. Gregory Allard discussed the statistics of calls.
iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported there
was one fatality in the past month but otherwise it was a relatively
slower month than average. Chief Daley reported that three new
officers were hired that day and would begin the academy on
Monday. 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. Chief Daley reported
that both the FBI and Connecticut State Police had returned to 9
millimeter ammunition and that a lot of improvements had been
made to 9 millimeter ammunition over the years. Chief Daley
explained that with 9 millimeter officers can carry more rounds and
the guns were easier to operate and handle. Chief Daley also
explained the benefits of the red dot sites. Chief Daley reported that
all associated costs, including training time, were included in the
proposal. Alderwoman Gould asked what the approximate cost
would be. Chief Daley responded it would be approximately
$150,000.
iv. Emergency Management Update: Battalion Chief Marc
Benjamin left the meeting at 7:02 PM and returned at 7:23 PM.
Battalion Chief Marc Benjamin explained he had to step out for an
electrical fire burning next to a mattress and discussed the

meetings attended in person and virtually during the month of
December.

resourceful. Battalion Chief Benjamin reported that at the
Norwich Avenue fire Engine 2 was first on the scene with Chief
Timothy Jencks arriving shortly after him. Battalion Chief
Benjamin stated that command was established, the situation
was evaluated, and they were able to identify a water supply issue

continued that automatic aid was a work in progress and that the
departments were working together to go through unchecked

replacement of Squad 36 as a critical need and that COVID
supplies remained adequate. Chief Eyberse reported in regards
to automatic aid Yantic responded to downtown on four different
occasions including the Broadway Main Street incident; a call at
