RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in an amount not to exceed $80,000 from California State Library to meet the operational and services expenses required by Project Second Chance (PSC) and the Contra Costa County Library adult literacy program, to provide adult literacy services for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Library Fund match. Funds committed to Project Second Chance by the Contra Costa County Library, foundation grants, and private donations will be matched by the California State Library using a funding formula that is based on: the State Library's budget for adult literacy, the number of students served by Project Second Chance and the total amount of local funding that the Contra Costa County Library certifies will be allocated to support Project Second Chance. For fiscal year 2015/16, the Library has pledged adult literacy funds currently budgeted in the amount of $529,161 to secure the grant award.
