Chair Evans and staff said the matter is an ongoing investigation and that staff will provide updates as they are able.

Member Ozog asked explicitly for “any update on the situation with the data outage, the cyber attack on the sheriff's office and the clerk of the circuit court? And, specifically, do we have any input or what's going to happen going forward to prevent this happening again?” Chair Evans responded that it was an ongoing investigation and deferred to staff for what could be shared. A staff member said, “we'll update what we can.”

Why it matters: the cyber incident affects critical county offices, but details and remedial actions were not provided during the public committee meeting because of the ongoing nature of the investigation. Staff promised to follow up with committee members when additional, shareable information is available.

The committee also flagged a related request for access to PDF court forms; staff said they would inquire and provide a response to attorneys who had requested forms.

No changes to policy or procurement were proposed on the record at the May 6 meeting; the committee asked staff to report back with usable updates when permissible.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","DuPage County Judicial and Public Safety Committee Meeting, Tuesday 5/6/25","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members asked for updates on a cyber incident affecting the sheriff’s office and the clerk of the circuit court.

The committee approved a purchase order to Curry Motors Frankfort (listed on the agenda as Curry Motors Frankfurt Inc) to furnish and deliver one black Ford police interceptor utility vehicle for detention screening transport for a period of May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2026, at a contract amount listed on the agenda not to exceed $46,261. The committee also approved a purchase order to the same vendor to furnish and deliver one black Ford Transit 350 passenger van for the same period at a contract amount not to exceed $68,746.

Committee members asked about delivery timing and national vehicle supply issues. Member Honig asked, “Is it on track? Is there any delay with anything with vehicles going on, and purchasing, in The United States right now, or is it on track?” A staff member answered, “I will have to check with DOT,” and later confirmed they would follow up with procurement and provide timing information.

The committee also approved a budget transfer (item 25‑11‑90) moving $115,007 from other professional services to automotive equipment to purchase the vehicle and van for fiscal years 2025–2026; the agenda description said the vehicles will transport juveniles between King County and DuPage County for probation and court services. All motions carried.

Why it matters: the purchases fund transport capacity for detention screening and juvenile transport operations managed by DuPage County probation and court services. Committee discussion focused on procurement timing and whether national supply constraints could affect delivery.

No delivery dates were provided during the meeting; staff committed to follow up and provide updated delivery timing to committee members.","The committee approved two vehicle purchase orders to supply a Ford police interceptor utility and a Ford Transit passenger van for the detention screening transport unit and approved a $115,007 transfer to cover the purchases.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6248946,"DuPage panel approves Key Tower contract and $201,407 transfer for Hidden Lakes radio tower work",123,67000,190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3208101-d7f10345d3f05db986d38c9149fea505&start=67&end=190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3208101-d7f10345d3f05db986d38c9149fea505/thumbnail_67000.jpg","/articles/6248946/DuPage-County/Illinois/DuPage-panel-approves-Key-Tower-contract-and-201407-transfer-for-Hidden-Lakes-radio-tower-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6248946-96b42b0dfee8c7933a00e23d59451ced/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448520&Signature=aZFaX-FrLEKovqn33lEJqN6i3MWmj4yspXIfEJNqdcu5s-7krbY0p3Zev6XmKhjNTYqqChGgY3JTuLXh3dQvdohawHER6rrxPHttvfXyS5z~EJ3sQB2OTEwDCO88MgQpjj5dM-cY3JkvwUlcwirTPOXVNAgAXU2p6zoB2agpYyBClGe4xXKCXchu0Krs1iAehMBTpIlLS-1PqNOeZdtPEgFVkPmrzNKMBbCgUpp2N~t6zpJEZeM0XTkbjcR~SNUzPq6yR0Pc~ndzp-P8R~hPI4U4vcT-lNKZFbXR4Q8W76s9T6IloZxrtw4X-NWZjSq~dwGYsxEdEkqhUIjgApaaCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The DuPage County Judicial and Public Safety Committee on May 6 approved a contract with Key Tower LLC to perform maintenance and equipment upgrades at the Hidden Lakes radio tower and approved a related budget transfer to pay for improvements.

Committee members said the work responds to long-standing maintenance failures that left tower lighting and support infrastructure in disrepair. Dan (staff member) said the county received the tower around 1988 and the prior vendor “decided to flat out close their business mid contract, gave us no records, no information, and they left that tower in the state of disrepair.”

The committee’s motion to approve JPSP-22-25 — the contract award to Key Tower LLC — carried. The committee later approved a motion to transfer $201,407 from contingencies to repair and maintenance, described on the agenda as funding improvements for the Hidden Lakes radio tower; that motion also carried.

Why it matters: the Hidden Lakes tower supports county radio communications used by the sheriff’s office and other public-safety partners. Committee members pressed staff for a history of the facility after staff described emergency repairs last year, when ETSB funds were used to restore lighting on the 300-foot structure and a temporary building was replaced to house microwave radio equipment.

Staff said Key Tower was the only vendor willing to bid because of the specialized work (technicians who will climb 300-foot towers). Dan said Key Tower previously performed an emergency lighting repair and completed a full inspection; staff plan to later solicit a broader radio-maintenance bid covering all county towers once the Hidden Lakes work is completed. Dan also said last year the county set aside roughly $250,000 from surplus infrastructure funds; part of that will cover the pad and shed work and a portion will be used for the contract approved May 6.

Committee discussion noted uncertainty about recovery of funds from the prior vendor. Member Yu asked, “Are there clawback provisions? Do we get any of that money back or no?” Dan responded that recovery would be difficult but that the county could consult the state’s attorney’s office.

The committee did not provide a formal vote tally in the meeting minutes beyond “motion carries.” The contract award was described on the agenda as JPSP‑22‑25 and the related, approved budget transfer was listed as item 25‑11‑72.

Evidence: the contract approval, staff history of deferred maintenance, ETSB lighting repair last year, the sole responsive bidder status of Key Tower, and the budget transfer were all stated on the record during the May 6 committee meeting.

The county did not specify a single, unambiguous contract-dollar figure during the discussion; committee members used slightly different numbers when referring to the award on the record, and staff confirmed a portion of the work will be paid from a previously appropriated infrastructure surplus.","The DuPage County Judicial and Public Safety Committee approved a contract to Key Tower LLC to perform maintenance and upgrades at the Hidden Lakes radio tower and approved a $201,407 budget transfer to cover improvements after a history of deferred maintenance was described by staff.","actionData","errors"]
