RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2008-158 authorizing the Carlsbad City Library to apply for a
grant from the California Library Literacy Service, accepting any award and authorizing the
Finance Director to appropriate any funds received.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
From 1984 until 1989 the Carlsbad City Library adult literacy program was funded with grant
money from the State. In 1989, when those funds were no longer available, the City's General
Fund picked up the support of the program. In 1990, when the California Library Literacy
Service was created, the Library became eligible for additional matching grant funds. The
Library has applied for and received the matching grant funds each year for the past eighteen
years. For fiscal year 2008-09, 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 to each eligible literacy program. Subsequently, if additional funds remain, a
second grant amount will be distributed to each eligible literacy program. The total State grant
amount received for FY 2007-2008 was $ 32,581.00
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 for instructional resources; annual recognition event; program support
activities, furniture and equipment; and public relations.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The application for or award of this grant does not qualify as a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Section 15378) and no environmental review is required.
