DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth, through the Fort Worth Public Library, has been invited to apply for state
FY2001 grant funding for a literacy program that targets Fort Worth's 76106 zip code area. The
Library's project, JUNTOS PODEMOS (Together, We Can!), establishes computer laboratories in the
Northside and Diamond Hill/Jarvis library branches to support initiatives in family and computer literacy
and after-school tutoring in academic and life skills. The project targets children, teens, and their
families living in the 76106 zip code. It will be implemented by two project coordinators, one subject
tutor, one computer tutor and two peer tutors under the direction of the Diamond Hill/Jarvis branch
manager.
Tarrant County is the primary recipient of funds from the Texas Department of Protective and
Regulatory Services for a contract which addresses community and youth development issues in Fort
Worth's 76106 zip code. Tarrant County will also offer sub-contracts to other community-based
organizations. This grant was originally approved for state Fiscal Year 1996. Approval for state Fiscal
Year 2001 (September 2000-August 2001) is requested. Tarrant County will reimburse the City for its
grant expenses as a grant subcontractor.
Grant staff will be hired under personal services contracts recommended herein; therefore, indirect
costs will not be applicable to this contract and costs are not applicable to this grant.
