ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity,
Appropriating Grant Revenue for support of the library's Leap into Reading program,
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has
determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State
CEQA Guidelines because the activity is appropriating funds for educational
reimbursement only, therefore, pursuant to Section 15060 (c)(3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA.

DISCUSSION
Each fiscal year, the San Diego Council on Literacy (SDCOL) provides affiliated literacy
programs an opportunity to seek funding for special projects. The Chula Vista Public
Library has been awarded a one-time grant in the amount of $1,999.99 to help fund a
reading intervention program for students with poor reading skills entitled "Leap Into
Reading." The program strives to enhance reading skills in areas such as fluency,
comprehension, and motivation. The award will fund new books, curriculum, and
replenish classroom materials. It will also allow the program to be expanded to include
grades 1-6 (previously limited to grades 3-6).
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2 (a)(l) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in a one-time appropriation of$I,999.99 to the
Library Department supplies and services budget. The San Diego Council on Literacy is
the source of funding; therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the City.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact for accepting these grant funds.
