On behalf of the Board of Directors of Elgin Recreation Center(ERC), I am pleased to respond to the'

•
' .' ':Fund Raising Efforts
•
ERC has been very fortunate in its fund raising efforts in 1997, The River Boat Foundation awarded •`'.•'
• ERC $121,000 grant for capital improvements. ERC was one of the first organizations in the area to •
deceive a grant from the River Boat Foundation. As you may know,ne grant approval process for the
River Boat Foundation is very intensive and very competitive.

In addition to our fund raising efforts with the Riverboat Foundation, we initiated a formal • '•• •

several recommendations for further investigation which were reviewed end followed up by he ERC •• •Board, The first was to explore the possibility of a net lease (e.g. unbundling operating costs from tax• • costs).

As customary in an audit report, Michael C.Walsh and Associates did make several recommendations•
• for improvements(reference report page 8 Auditor's Report on the Study of and Evaluation of Internal Accounting/Administrative Control System). The following actions were taken by the ERC Board as a.• result of these recommendations being received:
A. InVoices- Procedures have been put in place so that invoices are marked approved by management�and marked with a paid stamat payments are supported p an invoice and '
B. Cash Receipts - As a result of Riverboat Grant Funds, a computerized system has been •• . •implemented to record the sale of services and collections. '• `
C. Independent Bookkeeper - An outside bookkeeper was retained to reconcile bank statements. •General Ledger maintenance was kept in house as a result of being able to computerize it on a new computer system provided by the Riverboat Grant.
' . ERC Service Area •
ERC is fortunate to be located near a high concentration of the poor, at risk population (The Poplar
Creek Area) in the Elgin community, In addition, it is also adjacent to Elgin Community High School
which has allowed us to partner with tJ46 and the Elgin City Police on several programs that service• •• : '
troubled youth from all over Elgin. As a result, usage at the facility is very high. We serviced over 60,000 visitors in 1997 who spent over 100,000 hours at the facility. We expect usage rates to 'increase another 15% in 1958. Cost to Elgin's taxpayers on a per hour usage basis is approximately$1.72/Hr(Cost Per Hour=$198,000/115,000 hours). : .
