I.r mar a;,ri CNitioar(' ltwnurit s rr 411C11,:., Randy Reopelle, Parks and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Annual Budget for the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to approve the fiscal year 2007/2008 budget for the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association of which Elgin is a member. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed fiscal year 2007/2008 budget of the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association in the amount of$2.248 and $2.020 million in revenues and expenditures, respectively. BACKGROUND In November of 2005 the City of Elgin joined the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association (NISRA) for the purpose of providing recreation programs and services to residents with disabilities. Since that time NISRA has done a good job of offering a wide variety of recreational activities for Elgin's residents with disabilities. Recently the Village of Lake in the Hills announced that they will be joining NISRA in 2008, which will increase the number of members to thirteen. Member dues for NISRA are based on a levy (mileage) rate of 0.0175 times the prior year EAV of each community. Based on an EAV of $19,394,626 Elgin's member dues for the proposed budget will be $339,406, which is a seven percent (7%) increase over last year's dues. In order to be ratified, two-thirds (2/3) of the NISRA member communities must approve the proposed 2007/2008 budget The 2007/2008 proposed budget represents an eight percent (8%) increase in expenses ($1,864,550 to $2,019,900) and a ten percent (10%) increase in revenues ($2,037,085 to $2,248,155) over the 2006/2007 budget. The budget also reflects an increase in the projected year-end reserve fund balance from $517,470 to $557,470. r Annual Budget for the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association March 16, 2007 Page 2 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None Cy/ ._ FINANCIAL IMPACT The May 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008 proposed budget for NISRA totals $2.248 million in revenues and $2.020 in expenditures. There are sufficient funds budgeted ($326,220) and available ($325,995) in the Recreation Fund, account number 296-5001-761.32-09, Membership Dues, to pay the annual dues amount of$322,461. Due to the difference in fiscal years, the annual dues amount includes $226,271 which represents the pro-rated eight-month membership from May 2007 through December 2007. Additional funds will need to be considered as part of the 2008 budget process to pay the balance of the member dues. In 2006 membership dues totaled $316,000. \le:eV LEGAL IMPACT None ALTERNATIVES 1. The Council may choose to approve the proposed 2007/2008 NISRA budget. 2. The Council may choose not to approve the proposed 2007/2008 NISRA budget.

Revenue from member dues will increase 10.5% due to the growth of EAV in the member districts. The membership of the Village of LITH will be effective January 1, 2008. Membership dues for the village are prorated for 4 months in 07/08. Program Fees: Revenue from program fees is projected to increase 3% in FY07/08. NISRA developed a new fee system in FY06/07 which lowered the cost of programs for in-district participants to encourage additional participation. Recent seasonal participation reports indicate that people are signing up for more programs and NISRA program fee revenue continues to grow even with lowered program fees. Purchase of Care: This line item reflects funding received from the McHenry Co. Mental Health Board for NISRA's Summer Day Camp program. Interest: Interest revenue was reduced by $6,300 to be conservative regarding earned interest rates. Equipment Disposal: No vehicles are being disposed this year. Contributions/Fundraising: NISRA is budgeting to receive $201,800 in contributions and fundraising in 07/08. Overall, contributions over the last few years have been stable due to the slow growth economy. -9- • F Annual Budget for the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association March 16, 2007 Page 7 EXPENDITURES: Full Time Personnel: NISRA has budgeted for a Manager of Mental Health Services and a Recreation Specialist. The Manager of Mental Health Services will assist NISRA in managing a growing demand for programs for youth at risk and children with severe emotional disabilities. The Recreation Specialist position that will assist with the actual leadership of NISRA programs. The merit increase pool is budgeted at 5%. Part Time Staff: The increase in the minimum wage to $7.25 and additional increases of 25 cents in following years will impact the hourly rates of many NISRA part time program assistants. Due to the tremendous growth of rik6' NISRA's service area, transportation services, and vehicle fleet, staff are proposing to hire a part time Transportation Coordinator. Transportation: Due to the growth of NISRA regular programs in Summer, NISRA vehicles are less available to provide transportation for Summer Day Camp programs. NISRA hires local transportation companies to transport more campers each year. This situation is responsible for a majority of the increase of NISRA's transportation budget. Computer Programming: NISRA will be increasing the number of hours of technology support services from an outside vendor in 07/08 rather than employing our own staff for this support for this service. Capital: Beginning in FY07/08, NISRA will no longer make large capital purchases such as office and computer equipment and vehicles from the operating budget. See page #8 for the separate Capital Budget. '" -10-
