8. OUT-OF-STATE TRAINING

Ms. Zerwin stated that approximately $90,000 was budgeted for training for telecommunicators.

In FY18, three of the national conferences are in Las Vegas. The PSAPs have been sending telecommunicators and staff to these conferences for several years. The conferences also have CEU for certain sessions. She is bringing this to the Board’s attention for direction because of the possible public scrutiny of the conferences being held in Las Vegas. ETSB pays for three people per PSAP, so nine total.

The general consensus of the Board members is that attendance under the current guidelines would be allowed. Chairman Grasso remarked that the Board will be given the details prior to approval and he is sure it will be fine.

9. RAVE MOBILE SAFETY DISCUSSION FOR RENEWAL

Ms. Zerwin remarked that last month there was a RAVE presentation in order for the Board to consider continuation of this service. The contract stipulates that ETSB must give 90 day notice if they decide they do not want to renew the contract. She stated that last month, the Board decision was in favor of continuing.

Member Tegtmeyer stated that he strongly supported the renewal. Members Block and Connolly agreed. The Board decided to proceed.

Ms. Zerwin said that the actual renewal may not come before the Board until February.

10. DUPAGE ETSB 911 SYSTEM DESIGN

Chairman Grasso remarked that he has not received any calls, therefore he assumes that this is good.

Ms. Zerwin said that they are waiting on the IGA with Oakbrook Terrace and then they can start invoicing.

Chairman Grasso asked Member Tegtmeyer for an update on his completion date. Member Tegtmeyer stated that there is substantial work being done and completion is expected on April 15th. They are still ahead of schedule and the equipment is showing up. After April 15th, they will begin connecting to the servers and other systems.

11. DUPAGE JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM PROJECT

Ms. Zerwin stated that there is a team doing acceptance testing with CAD.

Member Connolly questioned if they are still on target for a June cut over date. Ms. Zerwin replied that the question is whether to do a rollout or a hot flash cutover. It is just a question of which way to cut over. There is no delay at this time.

Member Connolly asked if billing will be delayed because the last agency was late in signing the IGA. He questioned if cash flow and reimbursements from agencies will be the same for 2018 as it was for 2017.

Ms. Zerwin stated that the billing for FY17 will be slightly less than anticipated because they hired Ms. Fishell late in FY17. The billing issue may be for the agencies because they will get two invoices in FY18 instead of one in FY17 and one in FY18, but if a municipality has been putting money aside, the difference will not be significant.

Member Tegtmeyer asked if an agency is on a calendar year budget, would they not have an invoice for FY17 before the end of the year. Ms. Zerwin replied that he is correct and that agencies should be advised that the reason is that Oakbrook Terrace did not have an IGA in 2017.

12. OLD BUSINESS

Ms. Zerwin remarked that Jim McGuire is the new Procurement Officer at the County. He made some suggestions as to where we are in the Fire Station Alerting process. They believe this contract will come before the Board in the first quarter of 2018 for consideration.

Member Franz moved, seconded by Member Tillman, that the Board not make changes to the Executive Session minutes of December 10, 2009, December 13, 2010 and December 8, 2011 and that they be declassified and released. On voice vote, motion carried.
