Resolution to approve modified access to the DuPage Emergency Dispatch Interoperable  
Radio System talk groups pursuant to Policy 911-005.2: Access to the DuPage  
Emergency Dispatch Interoperable Radio System (DEDIR System), as requested by  
Hanover Township Emergency Services.  
Member Benjamin entered the meeting at 8:16am.  
Chair Dina said the 14-day notification ended on Friday, June 28 with no reported  
objections. He said the request was for access to 1 West and Barlett local, 1 North and  
Hanover Park local, Fire North and FD Ops 3 and 5, and all other fire channels as they  
host Decon 12 and transport it to scenes for MABAS Division 12 and it would allow  
smoother communications with ACDC and DU-COMM. Chair Dina said they have a  
letter of support from Director Robb of DU-COMM. Ms. Zerwin added that they have  
been on the system for a long time and that DU-COMM provides dispatch services for  
them and that this request is a modification of the talk groups.

Chair Dina said that 18 agencies have submitted their sign off form in favor of the APXNext XN  
radio, 1 agency had chosen the APXNext XE, and he reminded agencies to submit their form if  
they had not. Chair Dina provided an update on the Fire Focus Group meeting which included  
discussions on increasing the number of characters in the portable radios to the maximum,  
announcements being the same across the XE and XN, having bluetooth capabilities disabled on  
rollout with agencies to open a Zendesk ticket to implement this feature, and disabling the single  
button on the remote speaker microphones until there are discussions on how to utilize it. Chair  
Dina said there was a second meeting with technical personnel and the Motorola representative  
to go through every line of programming in the radios. He said they got about halfway through  
the list which included volume levels, frequency of alerts, and such. Chair Dina said that  
encryption is waiting in terms of rollout, and that information had been provided by Fire Focus  
Group member Mr. Connolly regarding NFPA 1930.
