Pager Dead Zone Issues: Chief Tracy Montoya reported he received new information from the state that the sub-system in Colchester that was thought to be a one-tower site would actually be multiple sites with a new control system, so that aspect was delayed without a timeline. Chief Montoya stated the original plan was for Spring. Chief Montoya stated the various chiefs, dispatch and Norwich Police Department had discussed options over the past few days. Chief Montoya stated that some things came to light regarding the coverage of the current pagers and the IM responding.

Deputy Chief Robert Allen asked if someone could reach out to a state representative to see what was behind the radio system issue. Chief Daley AF stated that NPD operated on the Troop K Police Department sub-system so they were not experiencing the same issues as others coming onto the system.

Chief Daley stated he last heard there was a software issue with the upgrade, but the upgrade had been T completed. Chief Daley stated that it was a priority item. Chief Montoya added that the radio system and pager system used different tower programming and therefore were separate issues. b.

R Chairman Bettencourt asked if the ‘go live’ date was still the end of the year, to which Chief Daley responded that was the date for the CAD system. c.

Discussion ensued. Chairman Bettencourt added that state statutes limit the amount that can be fined. e. ATV Issue: Chairman Bettencourt stated he had been in discussion with Chief Daley regarding the ATV issues. Chief Daley stated it is difficult for the police to deal with and requested the public provide dates, direction of travel and vehicle color as much as possible. Chief Daley stated that if officers can track the ATV back to its origin points with better descriptors it makes offenses easier to enforce. Discussion ensued. Bonnie Maliszewski questioned what could be done if someone was filling up an ATV at the gas station. Chief Daley responded it was not legal to fill up an ATV or dirt bike at a gas station, so that would be an avenue to pursue. Chairman Bettencourt asked that the Panhandling Ordinance and ATV Issues remain on the agenda for followup. V. New Business: a. Department Updates: i. NPU Update: Eric McDermott reported he was currently waiting on feedback from CTU on the base station design in regards to the radio project.

DeLucia" <jdelucia@cityofnorwich.org>, Katherine Rose <kmichelerose@gmail.com> Public Safety Committee: I am submitting the June reports for the Yanitc FD. Last month ended up being a busier than normal month for us with 80 runs and our apparatus going out the door 157 times with an average of 7 minutes and 24 seconds from time of call to arriving on scene. We responded to multiple mutual aid runs for structure fires in Franklin, Lebanon, and Windham. Chief Herz attended and hosted one of the stops for the SECCOG tour of the Yantic River flood prone areas starting at the YFD. He fielded questions on how the department continues to operate during these events along with the damage to the station house and property. The group was also curious on what changes needed to be made at the department to continue to operate safely during the weather events. YFD members also assisted the the Norwich LL on Otrobando with a championship game along with attending the Norwich LL Kids Fest a few days later. YFD members continue to cover all firework shows at Dodd Stadium this year through the summer months with a total of 7 shows. Weekly FD training continues at 10 am and 7 pm on Mondays. Membership remains strong with one new applicant this month. Critical needs are the same with the replacement of 1990 Rescue 3 and 1997 Squad 36.
