Dear Mr. Lange:
I am pleased to inform you that the Carlsbad City Library Literacy Service has been awarded $25,149
of CLSA matching tinds for literacy, based on your certification of $109,100 in local public and
private fi.mds budgeted for expenditure in the 1998/99 fiscal year. The enclosed signed budget page
(CLSA Form-46) specifies the amounts approved for each budget category to support the Plan of
Service you have submitted. I enclose a master (for duplicating) of the Budget Change Request Form
(CLSA Form-53) to be used if 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
weeks. All funds (CLSA and “other” certified for matching) must be expended or encumbered
by June 30,1999.
Once again, local libraries in the matching program have increased the funds generated for literacy.
The total has increased from $3.6 million in 1990/91 (the first year of the matching tinds program)
to $11.4 million this year. I enclose a spreadsheet summarizing sources and amounts of local literacy
tinds for your use in the 199912000 budgeting process.
The ratio of state to locally raised f%nds improved slightly because of the $600,000 legislative
augmentation that was included in this year’s budget. We are currently providing $1 state dollar to
every $4.34 raised locally, or a 23% state match.
I look forward to your quarterly reports.
Please contact Al Bennett at 916-653-7743 if you have questions.
Yours sincerely, h&h Dr. Kevin Starr
