Regional Planning Group: GOLD COAST LIBRARY NETWORK, REGION VII
II. REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL PLANNING FUNDS
Several regional planning groups have indicated that they may need additional planning funds to complete their planning to become Regional Library Networks. Planning Groups may apply for additional planning funds NOT TO EXCEED 50% OF INITIAL PLANNING GRANT AWARDS.
A. Describe the proposed plan of action and timeline for formation of Regional Library Network(s) by Regional Library Network Planning Group.
The needed tasks will be accomplished through meetings of the Core Planning Group, by individuals and small groups and through contracts with providers of expert service. Groups will meet in person, by phone conference, via email and perhaps via videoconference.
Although Region VII still plans to apply for Network status as soon as possible, Region VII requests supplemental planning funds to cover the period between the end of the original planning grant and the receipt of network funds. The additional funds being requested will ensure planning continuity through the end of the planning process. The additional time needed for planning requires that equipment and resources loaned to Region VII by Black Gold need to be obtained with Region VII funds. These funds will also preclude a gap in Region VII’s ability to continue its development work between network establishment and the receipt of network funds.
Estimated Timeline:
These funds will support Planning Region VII’s planning and development tasks until network status is granted and the Network is functioning.
PROPOSED BUDGET
Contract services must be included under Operations. Any administrative costs, such as fiscal fees, must be detailed and included under Operations. Equipment under $5,000 must be included in Operations; equipment over $5,000 per item must be included in Equipment.
