MEMORA_ND_U TO: Directors of Libraries Seeking CLLS Matching Funds for Lit cc: Literacy Coordinators FROM: AI Bennett, Literacy Specialist DATE: October 6, 1994 SUBJECT: Plans of Service and Budgets for Fiscal Year 1994-95 I enclose a listing of public libraries, including yours, that have certified funds available for the California Library Literacy Service (CLLS) in Fiscal Year 1994-95. The amount eligible for matching by the State and the resulting funds available for each local library are listed. Please complete a Plan of Service Abstract, Plan of Service and Budget page, using the enclosed guidelines and forms. Return them postmarked by November 10, 1994. NOTE THAT THIS IS EARLIER than (incorrectly) stated in the August 5 memo from Gary E. Strong regarding matching funds certification. However, it is the same timetable used last year. This will enable us to get award letters and requests for your checks out by November 23, while the later return date would delay the award announcements and checks. Although it is intended that you will be awarded the amount for which you are eligible, your receipt of matching funds iq contingent upon the State Library’s receiving a satisfactory Plan of Service and Budget from your library. Mail the completed documents in original plus two copies (three total), postmarked by November 10, 1994, to: California State Library BudgetsLocal Assistance, Literacy PO Box 942837 Sacramento CA 94237-0001 The State match this year is $1 for each $4.97 raised locally. This is a 10% decrease from last year, which was one State dollar for each $4.51 raised locally. This is the first year since the matching program began in 1990 that the State match did not come closer to the 100% match authorized by the California Library Literacy Service Act. -0VER- W m ' 4$x-T&.;, -. , - A' '\ -> . .*. rli :i; s-"' %. jt is based on $ 8,014,224 raised by local library literacy services, ye&. This increase in literacy funds raised locally is particularly place during the continuing California recession. ,- Remember that your "matching-funds grant is based on all the services supported by the funds you have certified as eligible for matching. You are required to report on all the learners and tutors supported by these funds. Timely submission of Quarterly Reports to the California State Library is essential for us to be able to keep the California Library Services Board (CLSB) and the Legislature accurately informed on the effectiveness of the California Literacy Campaign. Remember also that your certification is a commitment to expend at least the amount you have certified for literacy, and that your fourth quarterly financial report must show that you have complied with that commitment. Your full participation in the use of CALPEP is important. The new CALPEP software is nearing completion. You should be doing initial CALPEP assessments soon after each new adult learner begins, and again in December and June. If you have questions about this memo, please call me at 916-653-7743; or fax to 916-653-8443. Congratulations on your contribution to the development of this outstanding support for the California Library Literacy Service!
