BOX 942837 SACRAMENTO, CA 94237-0001 MEMORANDUM TO: Directors of Libraries Seeking CLLS Matching Fun cc: Literacy Coordinators FROM: AI Bennett, Literacy Specialist DATE: October 11, 1995 SUBJECT: Plans of Service and Budgets for Fiscal Year 1995/96 I enclose a listing of public libraries, including yours, that have certified funds available for the California Library Literacy Service (CLLS) in Fiscal Year 1995/96. The amount eligible €or 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 instructions and forms. There are changes in some instructions to make them clearer. Return the completed forms postmarked by November 10, 1995. We plan to send award letters by November 22. Although it is intended that you will be awarded the amount for which you are eligible, your receipt of matching funds is 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 hy November 10, 1995 to: Budget Office - Literacy California State Library PO Box 942837 Sacramento CA 94237-0001 -OVER- - W The Statespatch this year is $1.00 for each $5.63 raised locally. The State fiatch this year is based on $ 8,457,378 raised by local library literacy services, a 5.5% $@&@! over last year. Unfortunately, we have not received an increase in matching funds at"$E6"$bte level, but the strong commitment of local libraries to adult literacy services @r&dks a good case for the legislature to increase its share. 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. 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. In the event that you under expend the budget upon which the matching funds are based you should be reserving a corresponding portion of the CLSA matching funds for return to the state library. 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. dl - q*:: If you have questions, please call me at 916-653-7743; or fax to 916-653-8443.
