| | | | | | | |
Item Title: | E-Rate 2018-19 | Date: | 11/26/2018 | Department: | Library |
|
| | | | | | | | Background: | The Library applies for E-Rate grant funding each fiscal year. E-Rate funds provide a discount of up to 80% on data line expenditures. Each grant cycle has five forms that require a signature. I am requesting that the BOCC give permission for the Library Director to apply for the 2018-19 grant, and after reviewing the initial grant form, be given permission to file the remaining 4 forms. The four remaining forms all verify the original document submission. No matching funds are required.
Every public library in the US qualifies for E-Rate grant funding. The grant is awarded on a first come, first serve basis. | Request: | Authorize the Library Director to file initial E-Rate grant for 2018-19 and the remaining 4 four forms as the filing windows open.
| Financial/Economic Impact to Future Years Budgeting Process or Effect on Citizens: | Grant provides up to 80% of funding needed for data connections for the Library System. | Action Requested and Recommendation: | Approve Library Director to file initial E-Rate grant for 2018-19, and the remaining 4 four forms as the filing windows open. | Is this action consistent with the Nassau County Comprehensive Land Use Plan? | NA | Funding Source: | 01712571, 01713571, 01714571, 01715571, 0716571-331702 |
