CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS - CHAIR SCHWARZE  
Chair Schwarze acknowledged the Fire Focus Group has been work with the National Fire  
Protection Association (NFPA) regarding the 1802 radio functionality. He noted that Jim  
Connolly (primary) and John Sullivan (alternate) have been invited to and have submitted  
applications to participate in the NFPA committees. Special thanks to Jim Connolly, a former  
NFPA member, for all of his work in putting together the TIA documents to be submitted to  
NFPA for consideration. These documents were based on the letter the Board authorized in  
October. This is a significant amount of work not only from the focus group, but these two  
individuals on behalf of DEDIR System.  
Chair Schwarze noted that the DU-COMM/ETSB radio maintainer contract was completed this  
month. He would like to thank DU-COMM techs Erik Maplethorpe, Dave Janiec, retirees John  
Lozar and Steve Licht and Support Deputy Director Matt Baarman for all of their good work and  
diligence on the DEDIR System over the years.

Member Yoo said the increase had not been anticipated in FY23 and asked if Ms. Zerwin  
if she thought sufficient funds were budgeted for FY24. Ms. Zerwin explained that  
language translation services are paid by the minute. The contract had been based on  
average usage at the time and this last year had seen a significant increase in service. Ms.  
Zerwin said it would be monitored throughout the year and that while the PSAPs have  
some language translation through their telecommunicators, it was difficult to gauge, and  
could be contributed to increased call volume.

DEDIRS PORTABLE AND MOBILE RADIO REPLACEMENT  
8.A. Police  
PAC Chair Dina began by reviewing the last PAC meeting which included a presentation by Mr.  
Dave Dato, who Chair Dina considers a subject matter expert on encryption. Chair Dina said the  
presentation was very informative, that Mr. Dato contributed his time on a volunteer basis, and  
that he is committed to assisting DuPage through the encryption process. Chair Dina said that  
encryption is mostly managed by the Police Focus Group and that as they move through  
encryption they will be working with Mr. Dato who supplied some policies to assist in DuPage  
discussions and policy creation. Chair Dina said the Police Focus Group will be meeting in early  
January to discuss encryption.  
8.B. Fire  
Chair Dina said a lot has happened since his last updated in which he had reported the Tentative  
Interim Amendment (TIA) had been rejected because of one time. He said a second TIA had  
been entered, thanks to retired DC Connolly and Mr. Sullivan, and was approved by the task  
group. The second TIA would be moved to the committee who would be meeting on January 13,  
2024, and that if approved, could move forward. Vice Chair Franz asked what is a TIA. Vice  
Chair Dina explained the acronym and said there are different interpretations of the policy and  
said this process is how the Fire Focus Group is working with Motorola to make changes to get  
the radios in the hands of the firefighters. Chair Dina said that he had reported that the Fire  
Focus Group was looking at a different Motorola radio model, those radios have been received,  
and were being programmed by Mr. Saucedo, the Motorola System Manager working with  
ETSB. He said the APXNext XE, which is the non-NFPA compliant model radio, would then be  
reviewed by members of the Fire Focus Group. He said the Fire Focus Group had also met with  
Harris to review their NFPA radio model and that things are moving forward, but that the goal is  
to get the NFPA compliant radios on the street, with a plan B and plan C in place.  
Member Kramer asked if the Harris radios were programmed and could do things differently  
with the emergency zone that DuPage is having a problem with on the Motorola side and would  
that help get this fixed? Chair Dina said Harris said the focus group members could but that they  
had not yet seen a programmed radio from Harris. He said the radio that Harris brought that was  
not programmed functioned pretty much like the Motorola radio with the very loud  
announcements when switching in/out of the hazard zone. He said it will come down to whether  
the radio will perform the way DuPage wants it to when programmed. Member Kramer  
clarified, so they just said it could be programmed. Chief Dina confirmed, yes.  
There were no further questions. Chairman Schwarze thanked Chief Dina and the PAC for their  
hard work.
