RECOMMENDED ACTION: DEPT. CITY A CITY N LIB Adopt Resolution No. 4Y- 138' approving the library's application for a Partnerships f Change grant in the amount of $40,000. ITEM EXPLANATION: The City Council has approved applications for Partnerships for Change Grants for th four years. This application is for the fifth and final year of the Partnerships for Chai grant program. These grants have supported the Library's Centro de Informaci6n ser which has been housed at Pine School for the past two years. Each year of the Cent1 operation has seen an increase in use of the facility and its resources. Exhibit 2, PRC REPORT NARRATIVE, JANUARY-MARCH, 1994, describes the use being made of the Centro. FISCAL IMPACT: Federal grant funds and in-kind contributions will support the Centro through Septen 30, 1995, except for the 3/4 time supervisor. That position has been included in the Library's General Fund budget request and has been absorbed by the Library with no increase in cost to the General Fund. The budget proposed in the grant application i! follows: Salaries/Benefits $23,900 Library Materials $ 2,637 Operating Expenses Telephone $1,000 P . R./printing 6,500 Storyhours, special events 3,000 $10,500 SUB-TOTAL DIRECT COSTS $37,037 INDIRECT COSTS (8%) $ 2,963 TOTAL $40,000 Centro supervisor salary and benefits from the General Fund $27,369 TOTAL, BUDGET $67,000 W 0 c PAGE 2 OF AB# /Ai 703 The General Fund Will be supporting the Centro directly for the first time during FY : 95. The original plan for the Centro, developed in FY 1989-90, proposed that after fifth grant year the Centro staff would become part of the staff of the Cole Library. 1 plan was based on the expectation that the new library would be built by 1992, and the Cole Library would be remodeled and reopened, providing space for the Centro p and its staff. Since none of this has occurred, the plan now is to maintain the Centrc through the fifth year and, when grant support is terminated in September 1995, to i the program into the library's budget. The Council will have an opportunity to revie1 complete library budget in June and to consider how this program fits into the entire of services supported by the general fund. At that time the Council may consider prc modifications, if appropriate. EXHIBITS: 1.
