File Number: 21-720 <br />for an additional two years. Following that initial 4-year neighborhood partnership grant, <br />the Library has worked with First 5 around kindergarten readiness, receiving funding, <br />materials, and equipment through MOUs annually. <br />c. Current Programs: Under this MOU ending June 30, 2022, the Library would receive 168 <br />Family, Friend, and Neighbor Storytime Kits in a mix of English, Spanish, and Chinese <br />languages to be distributed at the Main and Manor facilities. In addition to the materials, <br />Library staff receives training from First 5 in early childhood development education best <br />practices. After receiving the training, the Library staff members put that training into action <br />for the community by doing two presentations in the priority neighborhoods identified and <br />paid for by First 5. Lastly, the Library receives funding to enhance its materials collections <br />at Main and Manor for the 0-5-year-old audience. The result of these activities will be to <br />increase kindergarten readiness opportunities for children not in licensed childcare and <br />increased access for children 0-5 years old to developmental services. <br />d. Funding: First 5 administers funding to all qualified library partners throughout Alameda <br />County. <br />First 5 money is earmarked and to be solely used for children’s services to support <br />ongoing kindergarten readiness efforts based on each annual MOU. All expenditures are <br />tracked by the Senior Librarian that oversees Youth Services and reported to First 5. First <br />5 issues payment upon receipt of invoices, expense report, and results-based <br />accountability report from the Library. <br />Funding through the MOU must be spent according to the guidelines within the MOU (see <br />ATTACHMENTS titled MOU First 5 Alameda County and San Leandro Public Library <br />November 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022). <br />If approved, the funding through the MOU will enhance City Council approved Fiscal Year <br />2021-22 Library operating budget. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />This Special Grants Fund program will cost $4,800, which will require an increase to the Fiscal <br />Year 2021-22 adopted budget for the Library. First 5 will reimburse the City for the MOU <br />obligation totaling $4,800. This grant requires no matching funds from the City. <br />Budget Authority <br />All expenditures will be captured in account 150-68-016 and off-setting revenues will be <br />deposited into account 150-3617. <br />Previous Actions <br />·None <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/9/2021 <br />199
