CITY ATTY. k&L
CITY MGFGSQ
CITY OF CARLSBAD - A&A BILL 63
Adopt Resolution No. gg 0370 authorizing the Carlsbad City Library to apply for a grant from
the California Library Literacy Service.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
l From 1984 until 1989 the Carlsbad City Library adult literacy program was funded with
grant money from the State.
l In 1989, when those funds were no longer available, the City’s General Fund picked up
the support of the program.
l In 1990, when the California Library Literacy Service was created, the library became
eligible for additional matching grant funds.
l We have applied for and received the matching grant funds each year for the past eight
years.
l For the Carlsbad City Library, State matching funds for 1998-99 will be $25,149, based
on the Adult Learning Program’s current budget of $109,100.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Carlsbad City Library meets the eligibility requirements for receiving State matching
funds. These matching funds are awarded by the State to extend or enhance existing
literacy services.
Grant funds, again, will be used for one-time purchases of equipment, computer software,
instructional material, and professional services for upgrading the instructional computer
lab. Information on the proposed purchases is detailed in the Plan of Service Narrative in
Exhibit 3.
EXHIBITS:
I. -370 Resolution No.46 approving the application for a grant from the California Library
Literacy Service.

.
The State match this year is $1.00 for each $4.34 raised locally.
The State match this year is based on $11,440,961 raised by local library literacy services, a 13%
increase over last year.
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 or encumber at least the amount you have certified
for literacy, by June 30, 1999, 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 reserve a corresponding portion of the CLSA matching funds
for return to the State Library.
If you have questions, 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!
