Ike 911 board approves April expenses and routine invoices
Summary
At its May 21 meeting the Ike 911 operational board approved routine expense items and four vendor invoices. Lieutenant Mike Achim presented April activity and the board unanimously approved expense and invoice motions (4–0; Mayor absent).
The Eisenhower Emergency Communication Center operational board on May 21 reviewed April activity and approved several routine invoices and an expense motion, recording unanimous roll-call votes among the four voting chiefs (Mayor Katrina Thompson was absent).
Lieutenant Mike Achim (Village of Broadview) presented the April director and financial report, saying Ike 911 handled 3,183 calls for Broadview and Maywood in April compared with 3,396 in March (a reported decrease of about 6.3 percent). Achim reviewed April expenditures, deposits and an ending Ike communications balance; the transcript contains garbled figures for some dollar amounts, so the board’s exact ending-balance figure is not clearly legible in the record.
Votes taken: The board approved the monthly expenses as presented (motion by Chief Elijah Willis, seconded by Chief Craig Ronau), with a roll-call tally of four ayes and the mayor absent.
The board also approved vendor invoices by roll call as follows: Mercury Systems (invoice dated May 12, 2025; amount read during the meeting but transcribed unclearly) — motion moved by Chief Willis and seconded by Chief Thomas Mills; Braniff Communications (invoice dated April 1, 2025) — $1,540 approved; Motorola Solutions (invoice dated April 24, 2025) — $3,650 approved; Alpha Prime Communications (invoice dated May 15, 2025) — $9,933 approved. Each motion carried on a 4–0 roll-call vote with Mayor Thompson absent.
Context and next steps: Board members did not debate the underlying contracts during this meeting; approvals were presented as routine motions. Lieutenant Achim and staff indicated Broadview will continue recruiting TCOs to maintain operations during the director transition. The board adjourned at 10:26 a.m.
Note on transcript figures: several numeric amounts and the reported ending balance in the financial report are garbled in the transcript; any exact dollar totals should be confirmed from the board’s posted financial documents.
