RECOMMENDATION(S)
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant in the amount of$20,000
from the Crockett Community Foundation to undertake a beautification project of the Crockett Library for the period of
October 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT
The grant requires a matching fund. The Library will contribute $6,687 in matching funds to be taken from previously
allocated library funds.
BACKGROUND
The Crockett Community Foundation seeks applications for grant projects that will promote a sense of community in
Crockett. The Library would like to undertake a beautification project of the Crockett Library to allow a partial restoration
of the Arts and Crafts building to its original design by adding hardwood floors and repainting the interior. The grant will
also provide funds to repair bookshelves that are damaged. It will also allow necessary upgrades to electrical systems by
updating lighting in the server room. An added outlet and data port at the service desk will allow for a second staff
computer and will be available for members of the public to use for plugging in their laptops.
Project estimates have been provided by County General Services Department. If awarded, firm bids will be secured before
any work begins. The project will require closing the library for approximately two weeks for installing new flooring,
repairing bookshelves, and painting.
