REPORTS
• Illinois Firefighters Pension Investment Fund (FPIF)
Adam Sielig reviewed the May 2025 statement from FPIF, specifically the Arlington Heights pension fund
portion. The beginning Net Asset Value (NAV) was $155,837,500, with a rate of return of 3.64%, and YTD
return of 5.08%. The ending NAV balance as of May 2025 was $161,515,360.
• Arlington Heights Firefighters Pension Fund - Actuarial Valuation
This actuarial report was prepared by Foster & Foster to determine the Statutory Minimum Required
Contribution for Arlington Heights Pension Fund as of January 1, 2025. Page 5 Summary
Report indicates the Statutory Minimum Required Contribution of $3,748,141 (calculation in accordance
with the Illinois Pension Code).
Firefighters’ Pension Board Meeting – August 18, 2025 – Page 2 of 6
Page 4 of 41
This report indicates the Department of Insurance number at a lower percentage, whereas the Village
number is higher. Overall, the feeling is that the report was too general and should be more specific.
OLD BUSINESS
• Death of FF Phillip Palczynski – Spousal Survivor Benefits Update
Attorney Tom Radja is in the process of setting up a third review of the medical records. With over 7,500
pages of records, he has been receiving quotes of over $15,000, thus very expensive. It is difficult to find a
reasonable cost for the review based on the size of the file.
An option available is to reach out to INSPE for a more cost-effective review. After some discussion, it was
agreed the Attorney Radja will contact INSPE to receive their quote and then forward the information to
the Board members. If acceptable by the Board, he can arrange an informal approval by mail and
final review at the next meeting. Additionally, it was suggested in our request for a quote from INSPE that
we include the term “Not to Exceed” with a figure that seems reasonable.
All members agreed this was the best option so we can move forward.
• Application for Duty Disability Pension – FF/E Thomas Dobbins
We are still awaiting a status update. Since our last meeting, he has not returned to work. FF Dobbins
has indicated an anticipated work date in September, having a “wait and see” approach if he is at maximum
medical improvement. If unable to return to work, then we will proceed with the Duty Disability claim. We
will request medical records related to his surgery and also set up three medical evaluation
appointments. Also, if he has a pending Workers Compensation date, we can get this information from his
attorney. However, if FF Dobbins returns to work, we will contact his attorney as he would no longer
qualify for a duty disability pension.
• Petition to Intervene – Thomas Dobbins v. Village of Arlington Heights
A Petition to Intervene was filed by the Village attorney, regarding the application made by FF Dobbins
for disability pension benefits. FF Dobbins’ attorney (David Figlioli) contacted Attorney Radja by
letter, indicating he has discussed the request with FF Dobbins and there is no objection to having the
Village involved in his disability claim.
A discussion followed concerning pros and cons with an intervention. Afterwards it was agreed to grant
intervention as requested by the Village without any objection.
Motion was made and seconded (L. Harris/P. Ahlman) to grant the Petition to Intervene as requested by the
Village.
Roll was called.
Ayes: A. Sielig, L. Harris, M. Gallagher and P. Ahlman.
Nays – 0
Motion carried.
Attorney Radja will notify the Village of the Pension Board’s decision to grant the Petition to Intervene.

• Death of Retired FF Carl Schulien on August 2, 2025 – Survivor Spousal Benefits
We received notification from the family of retired FF Carl Schulien, who passed away on August 2,
2025. His spouse, Audrey Schulien, has submitted a copy of the death certificate and completed the
Request for Survivors Benefits form.

Benefits for Audrey Schulien effective the day of FF Schulien’s death, August 2, 2025. Spousal pension will
continue in the amount of $7,609.69 monthly.
Roll was called.
Ayes: A. Sielig, L. Harris, M. Gallagher and P. Ahlman.
Nays – 0
Motion carried.
• Military Buy-Back Payment Plan
The military buy-back payment plan is similar to what is offered by the Police Department, allowing for buy-
back of two years credit time with a payment plan of up to five years. According to the Department of
Insurance, before 1987 payment was 6.5%, after 1987, payment was increased to 7%. If a new
hire requests to buy back military time and then decides to leave before the 5-year payment plan, the
money will be refunded. Finance will need to be included in this process.
Attorney Radja will create an Application for Military Buy-Back for distribution to those who are
interested. At this time, there are three or four individuals who are considering a military buy-back and two
other individuals confirmed they wish to proceed.
No action today is needed today. For now, we will determine intention and establish an application
with payment plan. More discussion for the next meeting.
• Annual Medical Evaluation, Retired Disabled FF Under Age 50 – Daniel Bennett
Attorney Radja explained that last year we submitted a form to his physician to complete and we will
again forward the request for medical evaluation. Once the evaluation is returned from his physician, we
will review the results at the next meeting.
• Alliant Fiduciary Liability Insurance – Policy Renewal
We received an invoice from Alliant for renewal of our fiduciary insurance in the amount of $5,451 effective
October 1, 2025 for a period of one year.
Motion was made and seconded (A. Sielig/L. Harris) to approve renewal of Alliant invoice for fiduciary
liability insurance in the amount of $5,451, effective October 1, 2025 for a one-year term.
Roll was called.
Ayes: A. Sielig, L. Harris, M. Gallagher and P. Ahlman.

DISCLOSURES
Marquette Associates, Inc. (“Marquette”) has prepared this document for the exclusive use by the client or third party for which it was prepared. The information
herein was obtained from various sources, including but not limited to third party investment managers, the client's custodian(s) accounting statements,
commercially available databases, and other economic and financial market data sources.
The sources of information used in this document are believed to be reliable. Marquette has not independently verified all of the information in this document
and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Marquette accepts no liability for any direct or consequential losses arising from its use. The information provided herein
is as of the date appearing in this material only and is subject to change without prior notice. Thus, all such information is subject to independent verification, and
we urge clients to compare the information set forth in this statement with the statements you receive directly from the custodian in order to ensure accuracy of
all account information. Past performance does not guarantee future results and investing involves risk of loss. No graph, chart, or formula can, in and of itself,
be used to determine which securities or investments to buy or sell.
Account and Composite characteristics data is derived from underlying holdings uploaded to the Investment Metrics Platform (“Platform”); the Platform then
uses data for the noted time period from Standard & Poor’s (equity holdings) and ICE (fixed income holdings) to populate the reporting templates. Some
securities, including cash equivalents, may not be accurately classified during this population process due to missing identifiers or unavailable data. As a result,
characteristics in this report may differ from other data sources. For example, Bloomberg indices may include additional rating information which may differ from
the S&P rating used by the Platform.
Forward‐looking statements, including without limitation any statement or prediction about a future event contained in this presentation, are based on a variety
of estimates and assumptions by Marquette, including, but not limited to, estimates of future operating results, the value of assets and market conditions. These
estimates and assumptions, including the risk assessments and projections referenced, are inherently uncertain and are subject to numerous business, industry,
market, regulatory, geo‐political, competitive, and financial risks that are outside of Marquette’s control. There can be no assurance that the assumptions made
in connection with any forward‐looking statement will prove accurate, and actual results may differ materially.
The inclusion of any forward‐looking statement herein should not be regarded as an indication that Marquette considers forward‐looking statements to be a
reliable prediction of future events. The views contained herein are those of Marquette and should not be taken as financial advice or a recommendation to buy
or sell any security. Any forecasts, figures, opinions or investment techniques and strategies described are intended for informational purposes only. They are
based on certain assumptions and current market conditions, and although accurate at the time of writing, are subject to change without prior notice. Opinions,
estimates, projections, and comments on financial market trends constitute our judgment and are subject to change without notice. Marquette expressly disclaims
all liability in respect to actions taken based on any or all of the information included or referenced in this document. The information is being provided based
on the understanding that each recipient has sufficient knowledge and experience to evaluate the merits and risks of investing.
Marquette is an independent investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Registration does not imply a certain level
of skill or training. More information about Marquette including our investment strategies, fees and objectives can be found in our ADV Part 2, which is available
