CHAIR'S REMARKS - CHAIR SCHWARZE  
Chair Schwarze said here would be a short informational Executive Session held after the regular  
meeting and that no action would be taken, and that the Ad Hoc Finance Committee will meet  
afterwards.  
Member Maranowicz entered the meeting at 9:01am.  
Chair Schwarze began by congratulating TC Patricia Godlewski of ACDC. On the evening of  
March 1, a distraught woman reported her mother was dying, and immediately after, stated the  
patient was choking. TC Godlewski expeditiously generated a CAD, which generated a response  
for police and fire responders and calmly began the EMD protocol, providing the caller  
instructions to initiate CPR in the attempt to save her mother. After about a minute and  
twenty-five seconds of active CPR, responders arrived on scene.  
Chair Schwarze then congratulated DU-COMM TC Timothy Beguhl for 25 Years of Service to  
the community and first line, first responders.  
Chair Schwarze then recognized ACDC for rapid response on a structure fire. On May 21, 2025,  
ACDC received a call of a structure fire at 10:48 and dispatched the Addison Fire Protection  
District to a report of a structure fire at 10:49am. The first fire apparatus arrived at 10:53am and  
found fire showing with heavy smoke. The incident was upgraded to a special alarm. Addison  
Police assisted with traffic control shutting down the street and rerouting traffic. A MABAS box  
alarm was initiated and approximately 15 neighboring agencies were called to assist at the fire  
and/or to backfill and handle other emergency requests in the area.  
Chair Schwarze congratulated Operations Manager David Dobey, TC Sean Milnes, and  
Professional Standards Coordinator Abby Medina for completing a 5-day certification in  
ICS-300 and ICS-400 for advanced Incident Command Systems (ICS) skills for managing  
complex emergencies.  
Lastly, Chair Schwarze recognized ACDC for handling a truck explosion that occurred on  
Sunday, May 24, 2025 at 0842 hours. ACDC began receiving multiple 911 calls from callers  
throughout Addison reporting a large explosion in the area of Lake Street & Wood Dale Road.  
Within 38 seconds, ACDC dispatched police and fire units to the scene, with the first unit  
arriving at 0848 hours. Upon arrival, a large debris field was discovered. During the incident, in  
addition to assisting with the coordination of multiple police and fire units, ACDC TCs made  
numerous notifications to outside agencies involved with the incident.

6.A. FY24 Annual Audit Report  
6.A.1.  
25-1431  
FY24 Annual Audit Report  
A motion was made by Member Johl, seconded by Member Wolber, to approve the FY24  
Audit.  
Chair Schwarze introduced Joe Lightcap from Baker Tilly, who was present via Zoom, to  
present the findings from the FY24 audit. Mr. Lightcap gave a summary of the two  
reports: the audited financial statements and the reporting and insights from the 2024  
audit.  
A clean opinion was again issued on the Board’s financial statements with no findings.  
This is the highest level of assurance gained from the outside auditors. It states that the  
financial information presented is reasonable in all material respects in accordance with  
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Mr. Lightcap said there  
were no new accounting standards adopted during the year so the presentation of the  
financial statements is consistent in comparison to the prior year.  
Mr. Lightcap concluded with a review of the management discussion analysis which gave  
a comparison of the financial results to the prior year from management’s perspective. He  
provided a high-level overview of what had happened, including liabilities, capital assets,  
and revenue, between last year's financial statement and this year's.  
Mr. Lightcap asked if the Board had questions on the reports. Vice Chair Franz asked,  
what is the cash position currently on the capital side. Mr. Lightcap referenced page 11 of  
the Financial Statement and said the first row has the cash and investment position by  
fund.  
Chair Schwarze asked County Treasurer Henry if she had any comments. Ms. Henry  
replied, no, that she had reviewed the reports earlier. Chair Schwarze thanked Mr.  
Lightcap for his presentation.

DEDIR SYSTEM  
PAC Chief Selvik reported that the encryption plan is being reviewed internally by Motorola and  
that they have provided additional personnel to assist with code plug work for the fire portables.  
He said we are getting closer to getting the fire radios deployed. He and PAC Vice Chair Clark  
asked for any questions.  
Vice Chair Franz requested specific timeline for fire radio rollout and said even if not 100%, he  
felt a timeline should be provided to the departments. PAC Chair Selvik said he was very  
confident in saying, soon, and that some of this is dependent upon Motorola. Ms. Zerwin said  
there are multiple components to the rollout, that Motorola has brought in a second project  
manager, and that a timeline is imminent in terms of the deployment. Vice Chair Franz said if he  
were to say August 1…. Ms. Zerwin answered, that would be your date, not ours. She said to  
provide a date otherwise would be putting a target on her back. Vice Chair Franz said he is not  
doing that at all and expressed frustration with ongoing delays and said he would like the project  
manager present at the July ETS Board meeting to provide a target date. Chair Selvik said they  
could have provided a future date in January for August and look where they are now. He said  
he was in the room when Executive Director Zerwin let Motorola know where DuPage stands  
with this. PAC Chair Selvik said that having Motorola at the meeting they could answer  
questions, but does not know they could still provide a target date. Vice Chair Franz made a  
motion to have Motorola present at the July meeting with a timeframe the radios could be rolled  
out and asked for Board support in this. Further discussion ensued with feedback from the other  
Board Members regarding the holdups to the timeline, including whether agencies have been  
doing what they have been supposed to or if they were bogging down the process, and if ETSB  
should make the decisions for them. PAC Vice Chair Clark said the Members of the Committees  
and Focus Groups are volunteers who have other jobs that they are responsible for on a daily  
basis. He said he would appreciate if the Board would give them some grace in getting this  
done. Member Honig said this process started in 2022 and why rush the process now, that the  
Board should allow them the grace to get the job done. Chair Schwarze thanked the Members  
for the conversation and added that he joked that if Ms. Zerwin could have picked the radios and  
features, they would have been out three years ago. He said that there have been the NFPA  
issues and changes in leadership and decisions regarding encryption and talk groups, and that  
they want to give the Chiefs what they want. Vice Chair Franz said that even if the timeline is  
not specific, that it provides communication, which he believes was lacking, and a timeline from  
which to work backwards. Ms. Zerwin said the information is provided and tracked on the  
Monday.com project management boards, and while there is not a GANTT chart, there is  
communication provided on the dashboards, the monthly podcast which is attended by 60-80  
people, and the ETS Board monthly report. Chair Schwarze asked Vice Chair Franz that if Ms.  
Zerwin invited Motorola to the meeting next month, would that suffice. Vice Chair Franz said it  
is a good first step and withdrew his motion.
