Appropriate Funds to the Library's Fiscal Year 2017/2018
Maintenance and Operation Budget
ABSTRACT:
The Library Literacy program offers one-on-one tutoring and small group classes to
customers with low literacy skills. The Library Literacy program is funded by the City's
general fund and through grants, donations and the fundraising efforts of Newport Mesa
ProLiteracy. One of the major funding resources is through the California State Library
Literacy Services annual grant program. The $18,000 represents the California Library
Literacy Services first award for FY 2017/18 to support the high quality Literacy program
at the Newport Beach Public Library.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines
because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Accept a check in the amount of $18,000 from the California State Library for Literacy
Services (CLLS) and approve Budget Amendment No. 18BA-008 to increase
expenditure by the same amount in Division 01060604-711003 (Literacy Services).
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The Budget Amendment records and appropriates $18,000 in increased expenditure
appropriations.

DISCUSSION:
The Library Literacy program has been offering one-on-one tutoring and small group
classes to customers with low literacy skills for more than 25 years. These services are
currently supporting over one hundred learner/tutor pairs and are making a significant
difference in the lives of the participants, both learners and volunteers. One of the goals
of the program is to assist the participants in becoming more engaged citizens and active
participants in their community.
The Library Literacy program is partially funded by the California State Library Literacy
Services annual grant program. The grant funds will be used towards staffing to ensure
the continued high quality program that the community has come to expect.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
