road.

past month and the department hosted several community
events. Deputy Chief Tom Jencks reported critical needs as the
hood system in the department, which they were waiting to meet
with the city manager to discuss options on, as well as the
parking lot replacement as there were significant, increasing
drainage issues. Deputy Chief Tom Jencks reported that Taftville

eight percent of which were fire calls. Chief Eyberse reported 26
medical calls and six motor vehicle accidents. Chief Eyberse

another was taking a pet first aid CPR class. Chief Eyberse stated
the firehouse furnace was finally being worked on and repaired.

departments. Chief Eyberse stated Yantic members attended
various community events and that fire prevention programs
were being planned at some of the local schools and daycares.
Chief Eyberse stated the car show held recently at Dodd Stadium
caused some accessibility issues for fire apparatus so he would be
meeting with police, Norwich Fire Department, and Dodd
Stadium representatives to coordinate a better plan if another
show was to occur.
4. Occum: Chief Scott Eggert reported that the recent car show
held in the industrial park caused Plain Hill Road to become a
drag and burnout strip for cars, so changes would need to occur
if the car show were to happen again. Chief Eggert reported 19
calls for the month which made a total of 167 calls for the year.
Chief Eggert reported critical needs as the replacement of Engine
41, which was 32 years old. Chief Eggert stated Engine 41 would

issue, which had since been remedied. Chief Eggert stated that
Engine 42 had been out of service for one day for a DOT review.
Chief Eggert reported 35 current members and discussed
ongoing training. Chief Eggert stated three of the new pagers had
been put out into the field and that members were running into a
lot of dead spots. Chief Eggert stated that Deputy Schulz’ entire
neighborhood was out of range as well as the area of Route 87
going towards Lebanon and the entirety of Lebanon. Chief Eggert
added that at the juncture of Route 2 and Route 163 going out
westward was also out of range. Chief Eggert reported there were
many more dead spots than when originally tested and he was
unsure of how that would be addressed. Chief Eggert stated that
as it stands, tones may not reach all members.
5. East Great Plain: Chief Keith Milton reported 97 calls for the
month. Chief Milton stated it was recently discovered that the
emergency pull cords in the resident rooms at the elderly

ADDENDUM I
City Manager’s Report to Public Safety
September 13, 2023 meeting
I met with the Fire Chiefs on August 24th. City Comptroller, Josh Pothier also participated in the meeting.
Josh and I presented a draft apparatus replacement schedule and funding plan to the Chiefs. The plan was
prepared with data from Fleet Maintenance, and recommendations from the McGrath Study used as a starting
point. Josh and I presented the funding plan, as well as the rationale behind the replacement schedule. The
Chiefs expressed a few concerns and asked a few questions, but overall felt that a replacement and funding plan
for the City was a good thing that is long overdue. We will work with the Chiefs to refine the plan and identify
specific apparatus to be replaced or retired.
After the apparatus replacement schedule and funding plan was discussed, the Chiefs spoke briefly on the radio
project and pagers, SOGs, updating the Mass Casualty Plan, recently passed State cancer prevention act and
associated department requirements, ongoing training for drone operators, and other topics.
Meeting lasted approximately 1.5 hours. Next meeting to be scheduled.
