CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS - CHAIR SCHWARZE  
Chair Schwarze said, after months of preparation, the CAD upgrade has been completed. CAD  
Administrator Krzysztof Cieplinski led the ETSB team of Jerry Furmanski, Brian Kopas, Prithvi  
“Peter” Bhatt, under the direction of Deputy Director Gregg Taormina, assisted by Deputy  
Director Matthew Theusch. ETSB is thankful for the help and assistance of the technical staff  
of ACDC: Keith Marc and DU-COMM: Scott Klein, Eric Roberts. Hexagon was onsite for  
two weeks for the cutover. And as of June 26, all reported issues had been resolved.  
He expressed appreciation for the patience of the Telecommunicators and the Police and Fire  
personnel during the cutover and the administrative staff of the PSAPs and police and fire  
departments who worked with the technical staff to prepare for cutover.  
Member Swanson entered the meeting at 9:01am.  
Chair Schwarze then congratulated ETSB staff Brian Kopas and Prithvi Bhatt on the births of  
their daughters.  
Chair Schwarze thanked the Members for meeting with him individually to discuss the ETSB's  
goals and objectives. He said, there are several new forms and processes that align with the  
strategic plan developed by the County Board with input from the community and county staff.  
The County Strategic Plan will be the overarching guiding principles for the ETSB to develop its  
plan forward along with the strategic plans and goals of ACDC and DU-COMM within the  
statutory limits of the State and FCC. A copy of the County’s 2024-2029 Strategic Plan was  
handed out to the Members. Chair Schwarze continued saying, the Proposal Details within  
OpenGov is another one of the forms. The language in this form has been completed with the  
short- and long-term tasks ETSB is involved in as a baseline for discussion. The Ad Hoc  
Finance Committee will start with these forms, but all items will be funneled through the full  
Board.  
Chair Schwarze then introduced Joe Lightcap from Baker Tilly who was present via Zoom to  
present the findings from the FY23 audit. Mr. Lightcap gave a summary of the two reports: the  
audited financial statements and the reporting and insights from the 2023 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. There was one accounting standard adopted  
during the year, GASB 96, for subscription-based IT arrangements. Mr. Lightcap said it is  
immaterial to ETSB in the amount of about $171,000 liability, but it was implemented as it was  
material to other parts of the County.  
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. No one did. 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  
8.A. Police  
PAC Chair Dina said the Police Focus Group was working on encryption.  
8.B. Fire  
PAC Chair Dina said the Fire Focus Group was working with Motorola on a resolution for the  
mobiles but that he had nothing to report at this time.  
PAC Chair Dina said the Fire Focus Group has an upcoming meeting on July 16 to continue  
review of the programming on the portables. He said, to date, 20 agencies had chosen their radio  
model with 19 agencies confirming the XN, and one agency the XE, with 9 agencies outstanding.  
He said the other outstanding item includes the agencies' decisions of the Remote Speaker  
Microphone (RSM), whether they are choosing the standard RSM or the RSM with the channel  
selector knob. PAC Chair Dina said most of the agencies are choosing the RSM with the  
channel select and that those counts would be a change order to the contract, so the radios could  
not be released without them. He said he was unsure of the timeline of the RSMs. Ms. Zerwin  
said the change order was waiting on the other nine agencies to respond but that Motorola was  
aware the change would be coming.  
Chair Schwarze asked if there was a timeline on the mobile fix. PAC Chair Dina said he did not  
have a timeline but that the Fire Focus Group would be meeting with another agency who has  
rolled the mobiles out to see how they handled the problem. He said once that discussion takes  
place, a decision could likely be made. Chair Schwarze thanked the PAC for their hard work.
