traffic issue on his road caused by a vehicle parking within 10 feet of the stop sign on the
road, which does not allow another car to drive on the road safely. Brian Kobylarz noted
that Hobart Avenue is only 28 feet wide and there has been increased traffic on the road
due to the relocation of the soup kitchen. Brian Kobylarz added that parking is allowed on
both sides of Hobart Avenue, unlike other streets in the area. Brian Kobylarz stated that
this driver in particular has an accessible driveway for parking that would be a safer
option and would not violate the State of Connecticut standards. Brian Kobylarz stated he
had reached out to Chief Daley who stopped by to speak with the driver and they were not
available. Brian Kobylarz stated he would like the issue to be addressed without having to
contact the police daily.
Citizen comment was closed at 7:02 PM.
V. On-going Business:
a. City Manager’s Report on Fire Chief’s Meetings: City Manager John
Salomone reported there had been a chiefs meeting amongst a working
group the other day in which he was not in attendance. Chief Tracy
Montoya added they did meet once a month with the City Manager and the
focus was on the apparatus reduction committee tasking. Chief Montoya
stated there was one working group meeting in March and another in
April. Chief Montoya stated he would provide updates on the progress of
those meetings.
b. Dispatch & Radio System Upgrades Update: Chief Montoya
reported that equipment would be delivered to headquarters the next day
for the Norwich apparatus and he is hoping to arrange the installation for
Monday, however the vendor wants to ensure the patch for the new system
is working first. Chief Montoya stated he was hoping to get that resolved by
Friday so that Norcom could arrange installation with the city units on
Friday. Chief Daley added that dispatch is ready to staff the CAD system
and that Motorola continued to provision build their system, which seemed
to be going well since the last month.
c. Traffic Enforcement Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported that

Daley reported that Norwich was awarded a $48,000 Police Department
grant for speed enforcement, spot checks and formalized events with
multiple officers in a single location.
Chief Daley stated in response to the citizen comment that Hobart Avenue
did have an issue with parking. Chief Daley agreed that parking too close to
street corners was an issue in addition to the roadway width. Chief Daley
stated an option would be to ticket the driver, as it is unfavorable to reduce
parking spaces in the city; although it could be done. President Pro Tem
DeLucia suggested marking the road a one-way street due to its width.
Chief Daley responded it could be done, but it would create a host of other
issues.
d. ATV/Mini Bike enforcement ordinance update: President Pro Tem
DeLucia reported that he spoke to corporation council who stated they did
not have a draft ready for review. Alderwoman Burto added that he was
hoping to get one set up in the next few weeks in time for the next public
safety meeting.

rotation list. Chief Daley stated he was speaking with the DOT
