Dear Mr. Lange:
I am pleased to inform you that the Carlsbad City i,ibr,Uy Literacy Service has been awarded $26,737 of
CLSA matching funds for literacy, based on your certification of $1 58,866 in local public and private funds
budgeted for expenditure in the 2002/03 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 amaster (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 30,2003.
Once again, local libraries in the matching program have increased the funds generated for literacy. The total
has increased from $3.6 million in 199019 1 (the first year of the matching funds program) to $16.3 million this
year. I enclose a spreadsheet summarizing sources and amounts of local literacy funds for your use in the
2002/03 budgeting process.
The ratio of state to locally raised funds increased slightly this year. We are currently providing $1 state dollar
to every $6.00 raised locally, or an 16.8% state match.
I look forward to your state reports. Please contact Carole Talan at (916) 653-8032 if you have questions.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. &in Starr
