<br />FORM 18: BUDGET PlAN <br />(one page) <br /> <br />Describe how the applicant organization will maintain financial records for the grant. Brierly discuss ieatures of the proposal which <br />enhance cost-€fieaiveness of the projea such as matching funds and in-kind contributions; how the proposal builds upon eXIstIng <br />resource base and how funds from other sources will be used in conjunction with grant funds. Indicate how participating organizations <br />will share resources (e.g., training, multimedia resources. personnel). <br /> <br />Our project calls for TIF funding in the amount of$91,288. It also provides for a cash match <br /> <br />from the Friends of the Library in the amount of$10,140. This represents 11 % of the funding we are <br /> <br />requesting from the TIF board. In addition to the Friends of the Library contribution, the City of San <br /> <br />Marcos will continue to assume all on-going costs of the T -1 line and monthly ISP charges during and <br /> <br />beyond the grant period. <br /> <br />This project clearly builds on existing infrastructure, some of which was put into place through <br /> <br />our previous TIF grant. We will be using existing T-llines, CSU/DSU's, servers, and firewall. The <br /> <br />addition of 26 new PC's to the server is significant, however, and will require the purchase of an <br /> <br />additional router and switch. The addition of 26 public access terminals also necessitates an upgrade to <br /> <br />our PIX Firewall software. <br /> <br />The library has an Adult Learning Center, which is already dedicated to informal continuing <br /> <br />education programming. The addition of a computer training facility to this area of the library will fulfill <br /> <br />a long-standing community need. Our staff, as well as the staff of the Ten County Adult Education Co- <br /> <br />Op, will be able to develop and implement a curriculum of basic computer classes utilizing this facility. <br /> <br />The Finance Department of the City of San Marcos will maintain a complete file of financial <br /> <br />records and transactions related to the grant for the required three year period following the ending date of <br /> <br />the grant period. All required financial reports, progress reports, property inventories and audits will be <br /> <br />filed in a timely manner. <br /> <br />TIFB Form/Budger Plan (1/981 <br /> <br />page 15 of 27 <br />
