BUDGET TRANSFERS  
6.A.  
23-3200  
Budget adjustment total of $1,287,050 from 6000-1225-54100 (IT Projects Capital  
Infrastructure - IT Equipment) for the following: $102,000 to 6000-1225-53020 (IT  
Projects Capital Infrastructure - Information Technology Services), $218,280 to  
6000-1225-53806 ((IT Projects Capital Infrastructure - Software Licenses), and $966,770  
to 6000-1225-53807 (IT Projects Capital Infrastructure - Software Maintenance  
Agreements) to cover the cost of Tyler travel expenses, software licensing, and software  
maintenance through FY2023.  
Mr. McPhearson explained that this budget transfer is necessary because, while the items  
have been budgeted for, the funds begin in one budget line and need to be reallocated to  
the correct lines to cover invoices from Tyler.  
Member Eckhoff asked how the Tyler property tax implementation is coming along. Mr.  
McPhearson said it is going better than it was. He said we went live in January but we  
have been doing cleanup work since. He said we seem to run into new issues periodically  
that we need to address. Deputy Treasurer Paul Hinds agreed with Mr. McPhearson and  
said we do find challenges which Tyler then helps to fix. He said there are still issues  
with the assessors uploads, but the team was working on it yesterday and it appears to be  
fixed.  
Member Eckhoff commented that the Circuit Court Clerk had some issues with Tyler a  
year or so ago. Mr. McPhearson explained that their office is not using Tyler's  
application directly, but they are using eFile Illinois, which is the state-mandated  
electronic filing application. He said that application needs to integrate with the Circuit  
Court Clerk's case management system, and there were integration issues with Tyler. He  
said he escalated those issues to Tyler leadership and they have been working directly  
with the Circuit Court Clerk and things have improved. Mr. McPhearson said DuPage  
County is in better shape than others, noting that Cook County started the same  
implementation of the same application in 2015 and still are not done with their  
implementation.  
Member White asked if the extra work solving these issues is part of the original contract  
or additional costs. Mr. McPhearson said it is included in the original contract. Mr.  
Hinds explained that we have benchmarks Tyler must complete before we will pay them.  
Mr. McPhearson said the contract was written in milestones, which is something he  
recommends for all contracts.

PROCUREMENT REQUISITIONS  
7.A.  
TE-P-0066-23  
Recommendation for the approval of a contract purchase order to CyberRisk Alliance  
LLC, for a membership in the CyberSecurity Collaborative through the National  
Association of Counties (NACo), for Information Technology. This contract covers the  
period of November 24, 2023 through November 23, 2026, for a contract total amount of  
$34,999. Exempt from bidding per 55 ILCS 5/5-1022 'Competitive Bids' (D) IT/Telecom  
Purchases Under $35,000. (ARPA ITEM)  
Member Carrier asked Mr. McPhearson to expand on what is included with this  
procurement. Mr. McPhearson said this is a critical organization for us to be a part of.  
He said it is essentially cybersecurity experts throughout the nation who come together to  
create templates, do exercises, plan for cybersecurity issues, and provide tools and  
templates that would be difficult for us to do without them. He said this is in addition to  
our cybersecurity specialist. He said being part of this organization probably saves us  
hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars a year because they help Michelle and  
others with cybersecurity questions, issues, and other things of that nature. Chair Yoo  
noted that we have been part of this organization since 2020. Member White said this  
organization works a lot with counties and has a lot of experience helping counties, so if  
someone encounters a threat they would let other members know. Mr. McPhearson  
confirmed.

to have additional security coverage.
