FROM: Olufemi Folarin, City Manager
Randy Reopelle, Parks &Recreation Director
SUBJECT: 2008 Purchase of Service Agreement with Children's Theatre of Elgin/Fox Valley
Youth Theatre Company
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to consider a Purchase of Service Agreement with Children's Theatre of Elgin, a
not-for-profit organization, for two productions.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Purchase of Service Agreement with
Children's Theatre of Elgin by providing financial support in the amount of$15,200 ($7,600 for
each of two productions).
BACKGROUND
Children's Theatre of Elgin's (CTE)mission is to enhance the quality of life of children and their
families by providing performing arts education and making live theatre accessible. CTE serves
children living in Elgin and the immediate surrounding areas who are between the ages of 8 and
16. Children are encouraged to participate as cast or crew members as well as workshop
participants. During the 2007-2008 performance season, 160 children participated in the
productions presented at The Hemmens Cultural Center with approximately 50% of the
participants being Elgin residents. In addition, CTE commissioned an original score for their
production of Placing Out, a musical about the orphan trains of the last half of the 19th and early
part of the 20th centuries.
Under this Purchase of Service Agreement, the City would provide a contribution not to exceed
$7,600 per production to be applied to Hemmens fees. In return, CTE, in addition to presenting
two productions, agrees to make participation available to at-risk youth and provide reduced or
waived registration fees based on need. During the 2007-2008 Performance Season,
complimentary tickets were provided to several groups including at-risk elementary students,
Hamilton Wings, Larkin Center and the Boys & Girls Club. In total, 387 complimentary tickets

and 5,108 "reduced price" tickets were provided to CTE performances. Also, nine scholarships,
valued at$600 were awarded to cast members of Placing Out based on their financial need.
It should be noted that CTE has met all the requirements for their 2007 Purchase of Service
Agreement.

791.80-40 to make the initial payment. The final payment will need to be addressed as part of
the 2009 budgeting process.
