SUBJECT: Retroactive California State Library Grant Application/Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Retroactively authorize the County Librarian's previous submittal of a grant application to the California State Library for Value of Libraries Project funds ($3,000);
2. Approve and authorize the Chairman to ratify Librarian's previous execution of retroactive grant award application/agreement and acceptance of grant funds from the California State Library, effective February 28, 2019 through September 30, 2019 ($3,000);
3. Authorize the County Librarian, or their designee, to sign expenditure forms and activity reports for this grant agreement; and
4. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2018-19 appropriations and estimated revenues in the Library Grants Org 7517 in the amount of $3,000 (4/5 vote).
REPORT
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. The California State Library (CSL) has awarded a Value of Libraries Project grant to the Library in the amount of $3,000, effective February 28, 2019 through September 30, 2019. The grant application was submitted contingent upon your Board's approval. Approval of the recommended actions will allow the Library to accept CSL grant funds to supplement current Veteran's Toolkit art and storytelling programs, and further evaluate the outcomes of the project. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board may choose not to accept the grant award, which will result in the Library not presenting outcomes of the current Veteran's Toolkit program to assist the CSL in evaluating the impact of the program for the Value of Libraries Project.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
The recommended application/agreement is retroactive to February 28, 2019, the date the award notice was received, and the Department is bringing this before your Board within the agenda item processing timelines.
