MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Elgin Proud and Beautiful, Inc.
PURPOSE: The intent herein is to advise the City Council as to
the status of the subject volunteer organization.
BACKGROUND: Five years ago Elgin Proud and Beautiful (EPB) was
formed by a group of volunteers as an affiliate of the national
Keep America Beautiful Program. EPB has functioned primarily
on funds donated from the private sector. However, both the
City and Elgin Wayne Disposal have made significant financial
contributions each year. One part-time employee (Executive
Coordinator Marti Jernberg) is paid from the EPB budget.
EPB established a Finance Committee which solicited contri-
butions each year. Letters were mailed along with the EPB
pamphlet and newsletter. Follow-up phone calls were made where
appropriate. Contributions to this volunteer, not-for-profit
organization are down in 192 to the extent that there are insuf-
ficient funds available to pay the one part-time salary beyond
the month of September.
EPB has been successful since initial conception in secur-
ing four grants through the State of Illinois which required
matching funds by EPB. However, grant funds from the State are
diminishing and cannot be relied upon.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City budgeted and paid $4,000 to EPB
earlier this year. Elgin Wayne contributed $6,400 which in-
cludes $1,400 recently to meet payroll needs through Septem-
ber. The Chamber of Commerce has contributed office space and
secretarial support at no charge.
The ' 92 EPB budget amounted to $26,350, of which $16,740
was payroll expense. Income in the form of contributions total-
ling $18,560 was necessary to operate the entire year. To
date, contributions amount to $12,070, resulting in the short
fall.
