minor corrections. Alderwoman Tracey Burto seconded. All voted in favor. The
motion passed unanimously.
IV. Citizen Comment: Joanne Philbrick discussed her concerns regarding the delay in

being addressed. Joanne Philbrick also expressed concerns over the absorption of
American Ambulance by Hartford Healthcare, and questioned how it may affect
operations in the city.
Citizen comment was closed at 7:02 PM.
V. On-going Business:
a. City Manager’s Report on Fire Chief’s Meetings: The City Manager
was not in attendance, but submitted an electronic report. President Pro
Tem DeLucia read the report into the record. SEE ADDENDUM I.
b. Dispatch & Radio System Upgrades Update: President Pro Tem
DeLucia noticed the dispatch and radio system upgrade update was
covered in the City Manager’s report on the fire chief’s meetings.
b. Traffic Enforcement Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported that as of
that evening all of the new speed reduction signs had been placed and
NPD was trying to acquire two more. Chief Daley stated the signs had
been well received by the community and there is a rotating list for
placement. Chief Daley reported a trend of summons for unregistered and
uninsured vehicles in the past month and noted that at least 50 had been
given during motor vehicle stops which was relatively high. Chief Daley
stated he met with other Connecituc police chiefs regarding proposed
legislation they felt was concerning. Chief Daley explained the legislation
classified things like a broken tail light as a secondary infraction and that
equipment malfunctions could not warrant a motorist being stopped.
Chief Daley continued that another proposed bill requires officers to
notify a motorist why they are being stopped in written form, and while
that is typically normal in most situations it is now required. Chief Daley
added that there was an effort to remove ‘right on red’ turns developing
from the west coast in an attempt to eliminate pedestrian deaths.
City Manager John Salomone arrived at 7:10 PM.
President Pro Tem DeLucia asked what the genesis was for restricting
officers on what they can pull people over. Chief Daley responded it was
an attempt to dispirit traffic stops amongst minorities, as there is a
disproportionate stop among minority groups for equipment violations,
and to correct the disparity. President Pro Tem DeLucia questioned if the
disparity was more economic than race based and while he understood the
incentive, did not believe lessening the presence of police would help the
level of fatalities on the road. Discussion ensued.
c. ATV/Mini Bike enforcement ordinance update: Alderwoman
Tracey Burto reported she met with Chief Daley and Attorney Driscoll that
past Friday to revise a similar city ordinance within the state, which they
used as a resource for developing ideas to put together a draft ordinance
for the ATVs. Alderwoman Burto stated that Attorney Driscoll was
working on writing the draft ordinance. Chief Daley discussed how the
ordinances worked in other cities. Discussion ensued. Chief Daley noted
that behavior amongst recreational vehicles on roadways had escalated
through the last few years.
VI. New Business:
a. Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM II FOR
MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS
i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott reported that reservoirs remain at full
pond. Eric McDermott stated that NPU continued to conduct annual
gas and electrical safety training. Eric McDermott reported two
departments had completed the training and more were on the
schedule.
ii. American Ambulance: Director of Quality Assurance Glenn
Arremony reported 169 ALS transports and 308 BLS transports,
making 477 total calls for the month of February. Glenn Arremony
reported that 22% of the response volume were canceled calls. Glenn
Arremony discussed the statistics and demographics of calls.
President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if the 23 reported motor vehicle
accident responses involved injuries. Glenn Arremony responded
they did and the calls resulted in transports. President Pro Tem
DeLucia asked Chief Daley if that data coincided with NPD numbers.
Chief Daley responded that NPD sees a lot of non-injury accidents,
but injury accidents had been ticking up.
iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported a slower
month and noted that within the NPD monthly report he included
data from the Violent Crime Task Force that Norwich is involved
with. Chief Daley stated firearms had been recovered so far. Chief

ADDENDUM I
City Manager's Report to Public Safety
March 8, 2023 meeting
I met with the Fire Chiefs on February 23 rd . This was our first meeting in four months so we had plenty of topics to discuss.
We reviewed the amendment to City Ordinance 8-18 and the requirements set forth in the ordinance. We also discussed
the ongoing CAD and radio projects, Auto Aid updates, Incident reporting, American Ambulance sale to Hartford Health
Care, status of a Rehab vehicle for the City, and a potential site for a fire training facility.
I addressed the need to form the committees as outlined in the amendment to Ordinance 8-18. There are three
committees that are called for within the ordinance: a purchasing protocol committee, a truck specifications committee,
and an apparatus reduction committee. The volunteer Chiefs will select one of the Chiefs for the purchasing protocol
committee and report to me on that selection. I asked the Chiefs to begin meeting with those that are part of the
Apparatus Reduction Committee, and to meet before our next meeting. There was brief discussion on apparatus
replacement goals and funding.
Chief Montoya gave an update on the CAD project Beat assignments and Alarm Card development. The team has met
with each of the Chiefs to discuss their district beats and alarm cards. They still have work to do on reviewing input from
the Chiefs before it can be sent for provisioning.
The city-wide radio project is moving along. Mobile radio installation was pushed from February to March. Hopefully, it
will happen this month. The Chiefs discussed the radio IDs to ensure better accountability and uniformity in the way the
portable radios are identified.
The Automatic Aid policy was updated to add Outside Fires with Exposure to a Structure to the criteria for Auto Aid calls.
This was a minor change to include something that was discussed previously, but inadvertently left out of the final policy.
The Chiefs discussed the procedure for incident reports in districts other than their own. Chief Montoya cited the national
system and the requirement for an incident report to be written under the ID of the district where the call is, not the ID
of the responding department. The Chiefs will work out the details of rep.art writing when this applies.
There was a discussion on Hartford Health Care's acquisition of American Ambulance and how that would affect the
contract with the City, and potentially the level of service. There are number' of rumors out there and concerns over the
level of service going forward. We will have to monitor this as the transition proceeds.
The vehicle planned for a rehab unit that the City was to receive from Windham Transit fell through. There was an issue
with DOT blocking the release of the vehicle to the City. The Chiefs will continue to pursue other options.
Chief Milton asked about the Veterans School property availability as a site for fire training facility. At this time the
property is not claimed for uses once the school closes. We should look at the City property and adjoining properties to
determine if this is a viable location for a training facility. The Chiefs and I have spoken on numerous occasions of the
value of a local training ground. This property may present a sound option for such a project.
We met for nearly two hours and had good discussion on current and future needs. Our next meeting is scheduled for
March 20th .
