by comments made by President Pro Tem DeLucia that were referenced on a recent news
report in regards to doing “what could be done with the city council” to move forward the
purchase of trucks for the paid department, but not the volunteer departments.
V. On-going Business:
a. City Manager’s Report on Fire Chief’s Meetings: City Manager John
Salomone did not have the report available.
b. Dispatch & Radio System Upgrades Update: Chief Patrick Daley
reported that the CAD provisioning was continuing and they were hoping
to have that aspect complete by the end of the year.
Chief Tracy Montoya reported that the mobile installations for Norwich
were complete with the exception of the battalion vehicles, as well as East
Great Plain, Laurel Hill and Yantic. Chief Montoya continued that the work
at Occum had started and once complete it would move onto Taftville.
Chief Montoya stated that the installations were taking a bit longer than
expected as the technician was operating as a one-man crew. Chief
Montoya hoped that all installations would be complete within the next 10
working days so the mobile units could be tested by dispatch and rolled
out.
Alderman William Nash stated that, as the ATV ordinance was voted on at
the council meeting, he would like to request a suspension of the rules to
revise the agenda to add the approval of the revised 2023 Public Safety

revise the agenda accordingly. President Pro Tem DeLucia seconded. All

b. Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM I FOR
MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS
i. NPU Update: Barry Ellison reported that all reservoir levels look
good and are better than typical for the time of year due to the
recent rain. Barry Ellison stated the official level had not been
determined but they should be at or near full capacity. Barry Ellison
stated that NPU just completed hydrant flushing on Route 32 from
the city to Mohegan Sun and would begin on Laurel Hill to Preston
the next week.
ii. American Ambulance: Gregory Allard discussed the various call
data for AA for the month, all of which was included in his
submitted electronic report. Gregory Allard reported 540 calls which
included 217 ALS transports and 323 BLS transports.
iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley reported a busy
start to the summer and that Captain Veiga retired from the force
after 29 ½ years of service to the city. Chief Daley invited everyone
to National Night Out at Howard Brown Park on August 1st. Chief
Daley reported that the July fireworks went well from a public safety
standpoint and that they were well staffed by NPD and mutual aid
departments. Chief Daley reported the replacement of the police
station as a critical need. Alderman Nash questioned the uptick in
recent motor vehicle accidents. Chief Daley responded that the
period following the release of school are considered the most
dangerous days in the summer for accidents and while there had
been an increase none had serious injuries. Chief Daley continued he
hoped activity would decrease but noted there were still ongoing
issues with large groups of motorbikes and scooters. Chief Daley
stated that upcoming Friday all police departments in the state
would be meeting to develop a regional response plan for street
takeovers. Chief Daley stated that all traffic enforcement signs were
placed out on city streets and that NPD just began a speed
enforcement grant in July that they received from the state DOT.
President Pro Tem DeLucia asked Chief Daley to discuss the license
plate readers that are going to be installed throughout town. Chief
Daley responded that there were about four readers left to be
installed and there was currently limited access to the system, but in
the one weekend they were in place NPD was able to recover a stolen
car; identify two hit and run accidents; identify a larceny; and a car
involved in a shooting in another town. Chief Daley stated the
cameras were fixed and not hidden, but NPD was not publicizing the
locations of them due to vandalism. Alderwoman Gould asked if it
was correct that each police vehicle had been outfitted with a water
rescue throw disc. Chief Daley responded that was correct; after two
water rescue incidents back-to-back the previous month the
department saw a need for additional water rescue gear in the
vehicles on the road. Chief Daley stated the throw disc would help
keep a person afloat until further help arrived.
iv. Emergency Management Update: Chief Tracy Montoya reported
no activity during the rain event that past Sunday into Monday and
that Chief Eyberse kept an eye on the Yantic River. Chief Montoya
stated the highest the river hit was 4.5 feet, where the action stage
was 7.5 feet. Chief Montoya stated there was one possible related
incident with a transformer explosion in Occum, but it was
determined unfounded.
v. Fire Department Updates
1. Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya reported 230 calls for the month,
with four automatic aid calls provided and one received. Chief
Montoya listed significant responses as a motor vehicle rollover
accident on West Main Street; a car over the embankment on
Washington Street; and a gas leak two days prior at Norwich Free
Academy. Chief Montoya reported the replacement of Squad A as
a critical need. Chief Montoya also noted an ongoing staffing issue
in the city public works department where viable employees are
leaving to work at Norwich Public Utilities, causing fleet
maintenance to suffer with staffing. Chief Montoya discussed
ongoing and completed trainings. Chief Montoya reported that
the Greeneville station roof repairs were completed prior to the
rain storm and that technicians would be coming in to determine
if the roof was contributing to the monitoring and alerting issues
at the station. Chief Montoya reported no current COVID cases
and that PPE supplies were sufficient.
2. Taftville: Chief Timothy Jencks 76 calls for the month including
45 EMS calls, 31 fire-related calls and three gas calls. Chief Jencks
reported that the Taftville dive team went on site to assist with the
vehicle that went into the river, but the currents were
too strong for the divers. Chief Jencks reported that Taftville also
supported the Yale Harvard Regatta on the Thames River and
Wequonnoc School during their village walk. Chief Jencks
reported critical needs as the parking lot replacement as well as
addressing the roof over the main station as it lifts from the
building when wind blows. Chief Jencks noted it is a rubber
membrane roof that is approximately 15 years old. Chief Jencks
suggested approaching the situation similarly to the New London
firehouse where they installed wooden trusts for a standing seam
metal roof. Chief Jencks reported that in the last month there
was a radio issue that affected the entire city during a power
outage with no alerting occurring for any station. Chief Jencks
reported that Taftville had not purchased pagers in many years
due to various promised radio projects and the cost of the pagers
themselves, so they have relied on a third party phone alert
system.
3. Yantic: Chief Bill Eyberse reported 68 calls for the month
including 14 motor vehicle accidents and 23 medical calls. Chief
Eyberse noted an uptick in false alarms and false calls caused by
things such as detectors triggered from dust particles or non-gas
related issues. Chief Eyberse reported that of the 68 calls 21 were
overlapping, which was higher than usual. Chief Eyberse stated
that Yantic continued to provide service to Dodd Stadium during
the fireworks. Chief Eyberse reported that the most significant
call for the month was an accident on the Route 32 / Route 2
connector with two cars fully engulfed in flames. Chief Eyberse
reported the replacement of Squad 36 as a critical need. Chief
Eyberse reported they were still awaiting a custom made
condensate tank for the furnace system and that should be
squared away soon. Chief Eyberse stated on July 30th Yantic
would be involved in highrise training with multiple departments
at the parking garage in downtown. Chief Eyberse stated Yantic
did a walkthrough of the old GD Computer Systems building
with the Norwich paid department.
4. Occum: Chief Scott Eggert reported automatic aid was received
once for the month per policy, once non-policy, and given twice
non-policy. Chief Eggert reported 13 calls for the month. Chief
Eggert reported significant calls for the month as an alleged
dryer fire on July 7th that was determined to be a washing
machine issue; a small July 1st fire at Dunkin Donuts that was
caused by burning plastic in an oven; a CO2 call on
Taftville-Occum Road due to misuse of a generator; a July 6th
vehicle rollover on Railroad Avenue; and a motor vehicle
accident on July 10th with assistance from Yantic. Chief Eggert
reported the replacement on Engine 41 as a critical need and
noted the truck is currently in its 32nd year of service, over twice
the recommended life expectancy. Chief Eggert reported that
Engine 42 was dripping oil from under the engine compartment
and it was determined the compressor was cracked, so the engine
was out of service indefinitely while they awaited parts. Chief
Eggert reported that one new member was voted in the past
month making 44 members total. Chief Eggert reported the radio
installations were progressing as mentioned..
5. East Great Plain: Chief Keith Milton reported a busy month
and that regular trainings continued. Chief Milton reported
routine maintenance for apparatus and that their ladder truck
would be going out for maintenance at some point to have the
radiator replaced. Chief Milton reiterated that the new radios
had been installed in the trucks and that channel 3366 went
down after the power outage. Chief Milton reported that during
the outage there was a fire call at Norwich Inn & Spa at
approximately 1:00 AM that several EGP members did not
respond to due to the notifications not going through. Chief
Milton stated there were various communication issues during
that period and it was very bothersome that his department was
not able to appropriately respond to the call. Chief Milton
reported the replacement of Engine 52 and the station parking
lot as critical needs.
Alderman Nash asked if the issue with channel 3366 would occur
again. Chief Montoya responded that as it was explained to him,
an Eversource transformer blew and had a fire that ultimately
transformed into a fiber issue with Norwich Public Utilities.
Chief Montoya continued the issue caused a domino effect that
affected the low band system. Chief Montoya stated he was
unsure why certain items on the low band system were affected
and others not, and that the accident was a rarity. Chief Montoya
stated that dispatch is typically very good at picking up on
miscommunication issues. Chief Daley stated that nothing
alarmed dispatch that messages were not going out and that it
was a major concern that they were unaware of this. Chief Daley
suggested a meeting occur between the volunteer chiefs to
develop a procedure for this. Alderman Nash asked if anything
was being developed so that any issues are identified quicker if
something was to occur in the future. Chief Daley responded
there had been discussions with dispatch and those affected
regarding notifications if any issues were occurring.
6. Laurel Hill: Deputy Chief Peter Clark added that the P25
system had also gone down in the last month for about an hour,
which is part of the new radio system. Deputy Chief Clark stated
he was unsure of the end result of that outage. Deputy Chief
Clark reported that a few days prior department members with
low band pagers arrived at the firehouse because a dispatch
notification went through, but it had not gone through on the
pagers. Deputy Chief Clark stated some investigating needed to
occur to determine the cause of the issues. Deputy Chief Clark
reported the past month’s training was focused on extractions
and discussed various ongoing training.
VII. Public Safety items for future discussion: None.
VIII. Next Meeting: August 9, 2023 at Yantic Volunteer Fire Department.
IX. Adjournment: Upon a motion by Alderwoman Gould seconded by President Pro
Tem DeLucia, the meeting was adjourned at 7:54 PM. All voted in favor. The motion
passed unanimously.
Respectfully Submitted,
Katherine Rose
