Dear Mr. Lange:
I am pleased to inform you that the Carlsbad City Library Literacy Service has been awarded $29,:
CLSA matching funds for literacy, based on your certification of $133,380 in local public and private
budgeted for expenditure in the 1996/97 fiscal year. The enclosed signed budget page (CLSA For
specifies the amounts approved for each budget category to support the Plan of Service you have subr
I enclose a master (for duplicating) of the Budget Change Request Form (CLSA Form-53) to be I
changes in the approved budget should become necessary. An instruction sheet is also enclosed.
I have initiated the payment process. You should receive a check for the above amount within six \
All funds (CLSA and "othertt certified for matching) must be expended or encumbered by JUI
1997.
Once again, local libraries in the matching program have increased the funds generated for literacy
total has increased from $3.6 million in 1990/91 (the first year of the matching funds program) tl
million this year. I enclose a spreadsheet summarizing sources and amounts of local literacy funds fo
use in the 1997/98 budgeting process.
The ratio of state to locally raised funds has increased this year as a result of an augmentation
legislature to the 1996/97 State budget. This brings the total current CLLS budget to $3,490,000.
I look forward to your quarterly reports. You should be collecting semi-annual CALPEP reports
December. Development of the new CALPEP software continues.
