Asset Value (NAV) was $179,798,456 with a rate of return of 0.50%. The ending NAV balance as of

OLD BUSINESS
• Death of FF Phillip Palczynski – Spousal Survivor Benefits Update
Atorney Tom Radja stated he received no�fica�on on January 15 from the Palczynski atorney
indica�ng a mo�on to withdraw the line of duty pension applica�on. It has been a lengthy and
�me- consuming process to gather the many documents needed to proceed towards a Disability
Hearing. A�er reviewing these documents, the atorney advised the decision to withdraw was
made. Based on this mo�on to withdraw, the Board can now proceed to approve the withdrawal
applica�on.

Mo�on was made and seconded (A. Sielig/P. Ahlman) to approve the withdrawal of the Duty
Disability Applica�on for the spousal benefit on behalf of deceased FF Phil Palczynski.

Mo�on carried.
• Applica�on for Duty Disability Pension – FF/E Thomas Dobbins
On February 6, a leter from the atorney for Thomas Dobbins was received indica�ng he was
withdrawing his Duty Disability Pension applica�on and now rever�ng to a Regular Re�rement
Pension. Based on his years of service and age, the calcula�on is essen�ally the same benefit.
The difference is primarily a tax liability issue.
The paperwork for this change was received and forwarded to Mary Ellen Juarez in Finance. She
will process the paperwork and determine the financial numbers. The leter from his atorney
indicates this would be retroac�ve to April 6, 2025. However, his last payroll hours were paid to
April 16. He also requested and was granted a 30-day leave of absence effec�ve April 17. He had
previously used all his vaca�on and sick-�me hours. Therefore, the retroac�ve date of his pension
should correctly be April 17.
Atorney Radja recommends a mo�on be made to approve the withdrawal of the Duty Disability
Pension applica�on and proceed with a Regular Re�rement Pension based on the effec�ve day of
his removal from payroll and con�ngent on receipt of the re�rement paperwork and approval of
the municipality.
Mo�on was made and seconded (M. Gallagher/A. Sielig) to approve the applica�on for Regular
Re�rement Pension con�ngent on receipt of the applica�on paperwork and approval of the date
being April 17, 2025.
Roll was called.

A few ac�ve members expressed interest but once they received the numbers, felt it was a

considerable amount of money and would be difficult for them to proceed. Adam Sielig did not
receive any confirma�on from the members. Of the upcoming new hires, two in March and one
in April, these are veterans. A�er their hire dates, we will determine if these or any others express
further interest.
• Annual Medical Evalua�on, Re�red Disabled FF Under Age 50 – Daniel Bennet
Upon evalua�on, the medical physician submited his affidavit indica�ng that Daniel Bennet
con�nues to be disabled as of December 15, 2025.
Mo�on was made and seconded (A. Sielig/P. Ahlman) to approve con�nua�on of disability
benefits to re�red FF Daniel Benet.

NEW BUSINESS
• Buy-Back of Service Time – FF/P Sergio Duran
FF Sergio Duran recently suffered an injury, but Mary Ellen will begin the process. Previously he
worked for six years with Rockford Fire Department. As such, we will place this onto the agenda
for the next mee�ng.
• Illinois HB1648 – Payment of Re�ree Union Dues via Monthly Pension
House Bill 1648 was approved and passed by Illinois legislature. In summary, going forward if
re�rees prefer, they can have union dues removed from their monthly pension. This will require
writen request and approval. The sugges�on was made to have this as a checkbox item for union
members on the pension re�rement applica�on.
OTHER BUSINESS
Adam Sielig stated our firefighters Union was interested to know the salary cap for Tier II members.
Atorney Radja indicated this was recently iden�fied in the latest “Siren” newsleter and he recalls it is
approximately about $145-146,000. He will forward a copy of this to Adam Sielig for his review and
for the union as well.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
None.
ADJOURNMENT
As there was no other business to present before the Board, a mo�on was made and seconded
(A. Sielig/P. Ahlman) to adjourn the mee�ng at 9:18 AM.

forth in this statement with the statements received 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, geopolitical, 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. Indices have been selected for comparison purposes only. Client account holdings may differ significantly from the securities in the indices and
the volatility (beta) of the account may be more or less than the benchmark. You cannot invest directly in an index.
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,
