Eggert added that the portables were not functioning as well but they were
working with Norcom to resolve the issue. Chief Jencks reported that
Taftville was still waiting for the pagers to be picked up for reprogramming

setup.

earlier that day and noted that the CAD system was operating well which
lended encouragement to the timeline of going live with CAD. Captain
Perry stated the RMS piece seemed to be doing well but was slow moving,
though things were on track. Chief Montoya added that the Motorola team
spent months provisioning CAD and had some RMS questions that would
save all department work post calls. Chief Montoya stated that Motorola
was working with ESO to figure out that interface. Alderman Nash asked if
there was any change in the status from the past month. Lieutenant Perry
responded that it was a work in progress and provisioning had to be secure
before the tool could be put in place. Alderman Nash asked for an
estimated completion date to which Captain Perry responded that Spring
2024 would be an aggressive timeline.
VI. New Business:
a. Department Updates:
i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott reported that the radio project was
progressing and NPU had met with the State telecommunications
group the past month. Eric McDermott stated that beginning in the
new year NPU would be speaking with different agencies to discuss
the full migration. Eric McDermott reported that NPU assisted

that reservoirs were at full pond. Eric McDermott reported that the
10th Street SubStation was lost during the storm that past Sunday
and it took several hours to restore power. Eric McDermott stated
that NPU was currently working on repairs which could take up to a
month, but there would be no further impacts to customers. Eric
McDermott added that NPU was closely monitoring the Bean Hill
station as well due to its proximity to the Yantic River.
ii. American Ambulance: Gregory Allard reported 196 ALS and 273

contact for any police dispatch issues. Chief Daley reported the
replacement of the police department as a critical need.

power outages throughout the city. Chief Montoya added that the
paid and volunteer departments assisted in many pump jobs as well.
v. Fire Department Updates:
1. Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya reported 231 calls for the month
including four automatic aid calls given per policy and five
received. Chief Montoya reported that over the month Squad A
was on 104 calls; Engine 2 was on 98 calls; and Engine 3 on 93
calls. Chairman Bettencourt asked if he could receive a
maintenance cost and replacement cost for Engine 2. Chief
Montoya responded that Engine 2 would be going in for service
to have the engine rebuilt as soon as Fleet Maintenance was
available. Chief Montoya reported significant calls as a vehicle
fire adjacent to a building at 50 Lexington Avenue on November
18th; an elevator emergency at Mohegan Sun on November 25h;
a car into a utility pole with entrapment on North Main Street on
December 2nd; and a deadly motor vehicle mutual aid call in

month. Chief Milton added that Fire Marshall Keith Milton was
sworn in on November 15th. Chief Montoya stated the
Greeneville station was still out of service. Chief Montoya added
that a bid was put out to upgrade the system and get it online, as
well as tie it into the new radios. Chief Montoya reported that a
Motorola CAD team had been in town all week for provisioning
systems.
2. Taftville: Chief Timothy Jencks reported minor flooding in the
area from that past Sunday’s storm, but they did end up with a
leak in the firehouse roof which will need to be addressed. Chief
Jencks reported all apparatus completed DOT inspection and
routine maintenance. Chief Jencks reported Taftville was still
working with OSHA and updating their program moving
forward. Chief Jencks reported that MDT mounts and a Narcan
box were installed at the station. Chief Jencks stated that all
members completed extraction training. Chief Jencks reported
that the ROV was in and awaiting a couple parts to make the
sonar function work, so it was not yet in service. Chief Jencks
stated the car located in the Thames River was aligned to be
removed at 7:30 that past Friday night, but it was discovered the
chokers and cables left by the crane company to retrieve the car
had been stolen. Chief Jenck stated the crane was due to be
returned and with the recent rain extraction may not be possible.
Chief Jencks reported the replacement of the station HOOD
system, which was mandated by the Fire Marshall 6 years prior,
as a critical need as well as the parking lot replacement.
3. Yantic: Chief Keith Eyberse reported 57 calls for the past month
including 14 motor vehicle accidents and noted that 66% of calls
were rescue and medical. Chief Eyberse stated that the Yantic
Fire Department began flood coverage at 5:30 AM that past
Monday morning and only had two pump jobs requested. Chief
Eyberse reported the Yantic River was monitored all day and he
communicated with Chief Montoya throughout the storm. Chief
Eyberse discussed flooding conditions in the area during the
storm. Chief Eyberse stated he would be sending out an email to
the committee as well as the city manager and city engineer in
regards to seeking assistance in relief for 31 West Town Street.
Chief Eyberse stated it is a DOT road but every time there is a
storm the property owner takes on a significant amount of water.
Chief Eyberse reported that he had been reminding department
members to wear masks on calls due to recent COVID, flu and
RSV outbreaks. Chief Eyberse stated that Yantic’s Deputy Chief
was attending meetings regarding Otrobando Avenue and US
Food’s game plan for parking and access. Chief Eyberse
continued that it sounded like things would be progressing with
the city engineer’s recommendation of a four-way stop versus a
cul-de-sac. Chief Eyberse reported the replacement of Squad 36
as a critical need. Chief Eyberse stated that the Herschel was still
serviceable, which occurred each year, but the vendor reminded
them that the part will not be fixable if something were to break.
still operational but if something were to break they will lose that
part. Chief Eyberse stated he did put in for a grant last year that
they did not receive and intended to put in for it again. Chief
Eyberse reported that weekly training was ongoing and an OSHA
training day was scheduled for February 18th. Chief Eyberse
added there was a live burn training scheduled at the Eastern CT
Fire School on April 13th.
4. Occum: Chief Scott Eggert reported no significant weather
impacts during the recent storm but members did spend time on
I-395 due to typical traffic incidents. Chief Eggert stated Occum
did respond to a mutual aid call in Baltic for a leaking roof. Chief
Eggert reported 18 calls for November, four of which were
mutual aid. Chief Eggert reported 19 calls for October, two of
which were mutual aid. Chief Eggert reported 227 calls for the
year so far. Chief Eggert reported for critical needs that Engine
41 would be 33 years old in two weeks and that Engine 42 had its
moments, but is currently awaiting Fleet Maintenance to replace
its tires. Chief Eggert stated he also was encouraging masks on
calls due to recent COVID numbers. Chief Eggert reported that
on a recent call to Sunny Waters Mobile Home park the radios
were losing service to the station, but he thought it was more of a
programming issue. Chief Eggert stated he hoped Norcom could
resolve the problem without any issues. Chief Eggert stated that
E-Dispatch had worked well for Occum but the digital system
would not work as well, so their members would use IM
responding and then work to dispatch to hopefully integrate and
push calls out that way. Chief Eggert stated the system would
allow Occum to tie into neighboring departments, so if a call
went out that their department was assigned to for mutual aid
they would receive a call prior to dispatch.
5. East Great Plain: Chief Keith Milton reported that weekly
training continued and OSHA returned for a second list a few
weeks prior where they provided a list of things to work on. Chief
Milton stated that hose testing was done in early November and
some failures occurred, so there would be items included in the
upcoming budget. Chief Milton reported that PPE supplies were
good and he also was monitoring the recent COVID uptick. Chief
Milton stated he would be working on the budget that weekend.
Chief Milton reported critical needs as the replacement of the
station parking lot and Engine 52. Chief Milton stated that the
back of the fire house was falling apart due to damage and they
were working to determine what the extent was. Chief Milton
stated it would be his last Public Safety Meeting as the EGP Fire
Chief due to his recent acceptance as the NFD Fire Marshall.
Chief Milton thanked everyone for his seven years serving as
chief.
6. Laurel Hill: Chief Aaron Westervelt reported a slow month but
noted the department did raise $2,075 for the soup kitchen
which was delivered the past week. Chief Westervelt reported
that all trucks were currently in service and there were no
current COVID impacts.
