Commission in Amount of $5,219.03 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the acceptance of a TexShare Card Reimbursement Program 2023 grant award from the Texas State Library and Archives
Commission in an amount totaling $5,219.03; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Operating Federal Fund for a
total amount of $5,219.03, for the purpose of providing library patrons with the privilege to visit more than 500 libraries and branches
throughout the State of Texas and check out materials with the goal to improve library service to Texans by making each library's materials
available to the greatest number of users.
DISCUSSION:
This Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) reimbursement is funded by the Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and
administered by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC). The TSLAC has awarded the Fort Worth Public Library (Library) this
non-competitive reimbursement grant in the amount of $5,219.03. TexShare cards provide library patrons with the privilege to visit more than 500
libraries and branches throughout the State of Texas and check out materials. The goal of the TexShare Program is to improve library service to
Texans by making each library's materials available to the greatest number of users. This TexShare card service and the award are both benefits
of the Library being an accredited member of the Texas Public Library System.
This Mayor & Council Communication authorizes the acceptance and appropriation of those funds for reimbursement of the related expenses the
Library Department incurred during fiscal year 2025.
Since no City salaries will be charged, indirect cost recovery does not apply. There are no matching requirements. This is a reimbursement grant.
Application data for this award has been added to the Grant Application Repository (GRNT-APPL-0000000144).
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds
will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Library Department (and Financial
Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to any expenditures being incurred, the
Library Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
