CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS - CHAIR SCHWARZE  
Chair Schwarze began by welcoming Members Johl and McCarthy as the two new board  
members.  
Chair Schwarze then recognized. TC Sean Milnes of ACDC who on October 2 processed a  
phone call from a Bensenville business owner who stated that he was receiving live video  
footage from inside of his business and could see two unknown individuals inside. TC Milnes  
promptly generated a CAD and broadcasted the call on the DuPage Flash channel. TC Milnes  
remained on the phone with the owner updating officers with new information. TC Flores, who  
was assigned to the Bensenville Police talk group, dispatched units in under 10 seconds to the  
scene. The first police unit arrived in less than two minutes from the time the call was received.  
Upon the officer’s arrival, he witnessed a vehicle speed away from the scene along with subjects  
fleeing from the building on foot. TC Stevanovic promptly notified DU-COMM to ensure  
neighboring towns were aware of the incident. TC Stevanovic also began checking LPR cameras  
for possible vehicle matches. TC Bukovic began monitoring ISPERN, as officers who were  
following the vehicle switched onto ISPERN. TC Bukovic also assisted by switching over the  
other agencies operating on the main channel to their alternate frequencies. TC Flores kept  
officers on the scene updated with information that TC Milnes and TC Bukovic provided from  
both the building owner and from units following the vehicle who fled. Three suspects were  
apprehended by officers.  
Chair Schwarze then recognized TC William Kolberg of ACDC who received a 911 call from a  
man at 708 Kristin Ct, Westmont, who stated his dad was on the floor. TC Kolberg confirmed  
the location, as per policy, generated CAD for EMS and police to respond to a possible heart  
attack within 35 seconds of receiving the call. TC Kolberg assured the son help was on the way  
for his dad. TC Kolberg continued gathering information from the patient’s son and wife. TC  
Kolberg determined that the patient was no longer conscious breathing, quickly upgraded the  
CAD to alert responders the patient was in cardiac arrest and used EMD protocols to provide  
medical instruction to begin chest compressions. TC Kolberg coached the patient’s son to  
perform quality compressions, encouraging him to keep going, until the responders arrive on the  
scene and take over care of the patient. The patient was transported to the hospital and ultimately  
survived a life-threatening event due to the contributions of TC Kolberg.  
Chair Schwarze thanked TC Terri Easton of ACDC for her service. Terri started her career in  
dispatching when she was hired as a 911 dispatcher with the Addison Police Department in  
1977. Since then, she served in a variety of positions with multiple dispatch agencies, before  
returning to ACDC in 2018 for a total of 47 years in public safety!  
On behalf of the ETS Board, Chair Schwarze extended congratulations to Member Marilu  
Hernandez who is now officially Director Marilu Hernandez of ACDC as of October 21, 2024!  
Lastly, on behalf of the ETS Board, Chair Schwarze extended a thank you and farewell to  
Member Erik Kramer, Fire Representative. A proclamation was presented for Member Kramer’s  
service. Member Kramer thanked the board and members of the committees and focus groups  
for being part of his journey. Member Kramer said, this is where it starts. The communities in  
which we serve do not care about the discussions of the Board or the arguments or disagreements  
over technologies. The only thing the citizens really care about is hearing, 9-1-1, what is your  
emergency, and a knock at the door with an announcement that the fire department or police  
department is here. Anything in between is nothing. Member Kramer said, our goal is to get that  
response as short as possible. He said, that is what we do here, and here in DuPage County, we  
are pretty phenomenal, and everybody has a part in that.

DU PAGE ETSB 9-1-1 SYSTEM DESIGN  
Ms. Zerwin provided an update beyond the monthly report on the disruptions experienced with  
the Fire Station Alerting System (FSAS). An update had been made to Tablet Command  
interface that had seemingly affected the FSAS. She said that after investigation, Table  
tCommand had been rolled back to a previous version to stabilize the system. Ms. Zerwin said  
that staff would continue to work with the vendor for functionality. She reinforced that the  
outages that had happened were the reason why interfaces are not directly connected into CAD.  
Ms. Zerwin then said the AT&T open task list on the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)  
cutover had been escalated within AT&T for resolution, a spreadsheet had been developed of the  
open items, as had been done in 2019. She said the report that followed the issues experienced  
with the misroutes during the ACDC cutover was expected to have been received by this  
meeting, but had not, and anticipated it would be out to the members within the next week. Ms.  
Zerwin asked if the PSAP Directors had anything to add. Member Hernandez did not. Member  
Robb said that many of the items had been resolved and they continue to work away at the list.  
Ms. Zerwin added that pulling apart the system was complicated and that with the separation one  
administrative phone system still remains in place which has caused a few issues in terms of the  
things that should not happen, have happened, but that we continue to work through it.

OLD BUSINESS  
There was no old business.

NEW BUSINESS  
Chair Schwarze said that he, Executive Director Zerwin, and staff had been working on  
adjustments to the ETSB Ordinance so the issue of approving everyday business items could still  
take place without a super majority.
