RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2013-182 authorizing the Carlsbad Library & Cultural Arts
Department to apply for a grant from the California Library Literacy Service, to accept any award,
and authorizing the Administrative Services Director to appropriate any funds received.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
From 1984 until 1989 the Carlsbad Library & Cultural Arts Department 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 (CLLS) was created, the Library became eligible for additional matching grant
funds. The Library has applied for and received the matching grant funds for over twenty years,
until funds were no longer available in the state budget for FY2011-12. The State Library is
resuming its former procedure for libraries to complete an "Application for Continuing Programs" to
resume receiving these funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Carlsbad Library & Cultural Arts Department meets the eligibility requirements for receiving
State-matching funds which will be used to support the Carlsbad City Library's literacy program to
include instructional resources; annual recognition event; programs; equipment; and public
relations.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 2013-182 authorizing the application for a grant from the
California Library Literacy Service, accepting any award, and authorizing the Finance
Director to appropriate any received funds to the Library & Cultural Art's operating budget.
