HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09222015 - C.35RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of
$3,564 from Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund to provide materials and services at the Antioch Library for the period
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Library Fund match.
BACKGROUND:
The Keller Canyon Mitigation Fund is overseen by Supervisor Federal Glover’s office. It is a fund that is distributed
annually to nonprofits and public agencies generally to support the following categories: youth services, code
enforcement, public safety, community beautification, and community services. All nonprofits and public agencies
receiving funds must support residents in the primary or secondary impact areas identified by Supervisor Glover’s
office (primarily Bay Point, Pittsburg, and Antioch). The Antioch Library will use grant funding to purchase 2,000
copies of the early reader title, Biscuit in the Garden, for distribution citywide at three Antioch elementary schools
and five community locations, with the purpose of encouraging K-1st grade students to read with their families and
develop literacy skills. In addition, the grant will fund three programs to enhance engagement with the book.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the money is not received the Kids Read! Antioch 2016 program will be conducted in a greatly reduced manner
than in the past.
