FROM: Anne Marie Gold, County Librarian
DATE: September 14, 1993
SUBJECT: MATCHING FUNDS FOR LITERACY PROGRAM FUNDING
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Contra Costa County Library to apply for and accept California State Library funding for
Project Second Chance in the amount of $27,052.00 for the period of July 1, 1993 through June 30,
1994 to:
Fund up to one-half of Project Second Chance Library Literacy Director and Intermediate Typist
Clerk positions to provide needed support for tutors and learners in the Adult Literacy Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds commited to Project Second Chance by the County Library and private donors are matched
by the California State Library. The ratio of State to local funds should be a minimum of $1 of State
funds to $4.62 of local funds. The total amount of local funding being certified is $124,982. $68,462
is from County Library funds, $8,450 in Federal LSCA grant funds and $48,070 in private funds
including donations from Project Second Chance, Inc., The Orinda Woman's Club, Morris Stulsaft
Foundation, American Express, Coors, 1st Interstate Bank Foundation, Lowell Berry Foundation, and
Lucky Stores.
BACKGROUND:
Funds were made available to fifth year and beyond library literacy programs during FY 1990-1991
via a bill known as AB 3381 (Baker). The amount available is based upon funds provided by the
library's local funds and those raised by the library through community support and/or grants. County
funding for two Project Second Chance positions was reduced to 50 % as part of the FY 93/94 Budget
with the intent that the State funds be used on a 1:1 matching basis to fund the Project Second
Chance staff positions.
