RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution authorizing the Carlsbad City Library 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:
Since 1990, when the California Library Literacy Service was created, the Carlsbad City Library became
eligible for matching grant funds through the California State Library to support the Library's literacy
services program. The Library has applied for and received the matching grant funds each year they have
been awarded. For fiscal year 2016-17, 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 2015-16 was $56,655.
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, 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 authorizing 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.
