Trustee reports $1 million congressional appropriation request for library funding; timing uncertain
Summary
A trustee told the board that a $1,000,000 congressional appropriation request for the library had been sent to the House; the trustee said the appropriation "has gone to the house" but that it is unclear when or whether the funding will be enacted or attached to a specific bill.
During trustee comments, a board member reported that a request for a $1,000,000 congressional appropriation for the library had been forwarded to the U.S. House and is being tracked for potential inclusion in Neighborhood Community Improvement Program (NCIP) funding. "The $1,000,000 appropriation through the house has gone," the trustee said, but cautioned that it is unclear when it will be voted on or whether it will be included in a final appropriations vehicle.
Trustees said they would watch the item and noted that construction costs for existing NCIP projects were rising; the trustee said the request came after discussions with Congressman Panetta and his staff and that the city manager's office had confirmed the submission. No formal action was taken by the board on the appropriation; the speaker characterized this as a hopeful development rather than a secured allocation.
