BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Per the Napa County Grant Policy, located in Section 8A of the Napa County Policy Manual, upon written notification from the granting agency that the grant has been approved, Board approval is required to accept grant funds.
The Board accepted the baseline check in the amount of $44,447 on November 8, 2022, for the CLLS Adult Literacy grant. The Adult Literacy Program is funded through a state grant, requiring matching funds from Napa County to operate. Napa County Library absorbs the cost for the Literacy staff, thus meeting the state's requirement.
On April 19, 2023, the Library received additional funding from the California State Library in the amount of $4,938 for the Adult Literacy Program. This is the final payment for the Napa County Library's total allocation of Adult Literacy services for the current fiscal year.
Today’s requested action authorizes the Chair to accept additional funding for the CLLS Adult Literacy program. The funds will support guest speakers, projects, services, and supplies provided to the community at the Napa County Library.
