MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Larry L. Rice, City Manager
SUBJECT: Purchase of Service Agreement - Elgin Area
Childcare Initiative
Purpose: To consider a Purchase of Service Agreement with the
Elgin Area Childcare Initiative organization.
Background: As part of the Community Development Block Grant
hearing process the allocation of General Fund dollars to certain
organizations was considered and approved by the City Council. The
Elgin Area Childcare Initiative was allocated $ 50,000 . to operate
a summer S.A.F.E. (Supervised Activities for Children of Employed
Parents) . The funds provided was for summer care for children from
low income families.
Financial Impact: The $50 ,000 allocation was made from a total
of available General Fund dollars of $560,000. Therefore sufficient
funds exist in the budget for this activity. Since this has been a
summer program payments in the amount of $10,405 have already been
distributed to Elgin Area Childcare Initiative. This agreement
would provide for the distribution of the remaining funds and
submission of a program report.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve
the attached Purchase of Service Agreement. A copy has been
forwarded to the Elgin Area Childcare Initiative. If approved a
resolution will be prepared for action at the next City Council
meeting.

CITY COUNCIL OF ELGIN
I see in the Courier News that Elgin CHILD CARE INITIATIVE has
asked for agrant of 60 000 from the CommunityDevelopment
$ �►
Block Grants. From the inception of this organization, I have
felt that it is competing with our other private child care
groups and NOT MINISTERING TO THE POOR but to the same parents
who can pay full prices for child care. I know that the salary
of the administrator waspaid for by United Way funds THE FIRST
YEAR--which is unheard of with other groups. Also, the pay
their teachers get is much higher than private schools can
offer because they are allowed United Way Funds, use our schools
and also apply for grant money such as this--all of which is
our tax money--to subsidize their organization.
Yes, we need child care, but FOR THE POOR! ! ! The last I heard
this group was not helping the poor; the parents were paying full
price for the convenience of leaving their kids at school.
I object strongly that my tax money is going to subsidize an
organization that competes with private child care in the area.
Private schools can only affort $6.50-$7.50 for their teachers to
take care of the parents' most precious possession--their children.
They can't compete with Child Care Initiative because of these
subsidzed items. Also these private schools count on their
summer programs to tide them over until fall, yet Child Care
Initiative is as'zing for a federal grant of $60,000; I have a feeling
they will get it because of the influential people in Elgin who
are supporting it and unless it has changed a lot it is a farce.
Can you prove from records that they are ministering to the poor
of Elgin?
Sincerely,
Mrs. Willis Barrett
