FROM: Anne Marie Gold, County Librarian
DATE: August 31, 1994
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 $24,158.00 for the period of July 1, 1994 through June 30,
1995 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 $4.51 of local funds. The total amount of local funding being certified is $108,952. $72,639
is from County Library funds, $12,158 in Federal LSCA grant funds and $24,155 in private funds
including donations from Project Second Chance, Inc., San Ramon Valley United Methodist Church,
Southland Corporation and United Way Employee donations.
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.
