LIB TITLE: ACCEPTANCE OF THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF THE GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000 FROM THE CALIFORNIA LIBRARY LITERACY SERVICE, APPROPRIATING THE FUNDS AND ALLOCATING THE THE ADULT LEARNING PROGRAM’S GENERAL FUND ACCOUNT. ACCRUED INTEREST FROM THE 2003-2004 GRANT TO RECOMMENDED MTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2004-349 accepting the first installment of the grant in the amount of $10,000 from the California Library Literacy Service, appropriating the funds to the Library grant account (1 834007) and allocating the accrued interest from the 2003-2004 grant to the Adult Learning Program’s general fund account (00140558540). ITEM EXPLANATION: 0 From 1984 until 1989 the Carlsbad City Library adult literacy program was funded with grant money from the state. 0 In 1989, when those funds were no longer available, the City’s General Fund picked up the support of the program. 0 In 1990, when the California Library Literacy Service was created, the library became eligible for additional matching grant funds. 0 We have applied for and received the matching grant funds each year for the past twelve years. 0 For fiscal year 2004-05, the State Library will follow a similar procedure as last year in determining how this matching grant program will be funded. The funding formula will provide a basic grant of $10,000 to each eligible literacy program. Subsequently, if additional funds remain, a second grant amount will be distributed to each eligible literacy program. 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 will be used to purchase instructional resources, books, outreach materials, and supplies to support the annual tutor/learner recognition event. The State grant amount for 2003-2004 was $28,851. The new funding formula will provide a basic grant of $10,000, and if there are any remaining funds, an additional grant amount will be awarded. The amount of the second grant is unknown. EXH I BITS: 1. Resolution No. 2004-349 accepting a grant from the California State Library Literacy Service, appropriating the funds and allocating the interest from the 2003-2004 fund account to the Adult Learning Programs general fund account.
