Ike 911 board approves May expenses as center reports 9% rise in calls for Broadview and Maywood
Summary
The Ike 911 board approved the May 2025 expense report and meeting minutes and was told the 911 center handled 3,472 calls in May — about a 9% increase from April — covering Broadview and Maywood; board members requested a more detailed breakdown of call types.
The Ike 911 Board approved the May 2025 expense report and the May 21, 2025 meeting minutes and was briefed that the Ike 911 communications center received 3,472 calls for service in May, a roughly 9% increase from April, covering Broadview and Maywood. The board voted to approve the minutes and the expense report by roll call.
The expense report presented to the board listed total expenses of $15,386.37 for May 2025 and referenced a bank ledger included in the meeting packet. The transcripted deposit and final budget figures in the spoken record appear garbled and were not verifiable from the audio transcript; board members were advised that the full ledger and packet contain the complete figures.
Board members asked whether any of the May calls were weather-related; staff said they had not noted weather-related emergencies in the summary. A member asked for a breakdown that separates Maywood fire calls from Maywood police calls. Staff said they will provide a more detailed report and that interim director Charlotte Pal will assist Lieutenant Michael Akum with future data pulls for the Ike 911 center.
No members of the public had registered for comment. Mayor Katrina Thompson, who joined the meeting late, apologized for her tardiness and recognized Broadview summer workers, asking one young worker, Takaya, to state and spell their name for the record.
The meeting adjourned after final roll call; the adjournment motion passed unanimously among members present.
