Dear Mr. Lange:
I am pleased to inform you that the Carlsbad City Library Literacy Service has been awarded $25,1(
under the provisions of Section 18733.2 (b)(6), based on your certification of $113,416 in local pub1
and private funds budgeted for expenditure in the 1993/94 fiscal year to support your literacy prograr
The enclosed signed budget page (CLSA Form-46) specifies the amounts approved for each budg
category to support the Plan of Service you have submitted. I enclose a master (for duplicating) of tI
Budget Change Request Form (CLSA Form-53) to be used if changes in the approved budget shou
become necessary. An instruction sheet is also enclosed.
I have initiated the State payment process. You should expect to receive a check for the above amour
in less than six weeks. Please remember that these funds are for the current fiscal year and must t
expended or encumbered by June 30, 1994.
I also enclose a spreadsheet summarizing the sources of local public and private funds each librar
raised as the basis for these matching grants. I hope it will be useful to you as you begin the budgetin
process for 1994195. The ratio of State to locally raised funds has improved slightly because mor
libraries are transitioning to less State support. We are still, however, far from the full dollar fc
dollar match authorized by the California Library Literacy Services Act.
It is gratifying to see so many libraries continuing to offer this important service during the currer
California fiscal crisis! In hard financial times, literacy development becomes even more importar,
to those whose opportunities are limited by their inability to read and write.
I look forward to your quarterly reports. You should now be using the new? CALPEP for Semi-annua
learner progress assessment. You will hear more before May of 1994 about where and how to sent
CALPEP reports.
Please contact A1 Bennett at 916-322-0377 if you have questions.
Sincerely ,
November 24, 19
