ORIGINAL <br /> Attachment 1 <br /> GRANT AGREEMENT <br /> REDWOOD CITY LIBRARY FOUNDATION <br /> THIS ,GRANT AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of <br /> ,2010, by and between the CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, a charter city and <br /> municipal corporation of the State of California ( "Grantor "), and the REDWOOD CITY <br /> LIBRARY FOUNDATION, a non - profit organization ( "Grantee ") (collectively, the "Parties "), <br /> with reference to the following facts: <br /> RECITALS <br /> A. Grantor is a municipal corporation which owns and operates a four - library <br /> system in the City of Redwood City. <br /> B. Grantee is a non - profit entity established to achieve the goal of increasing <br /> support for the City's library services, collections, and programs. Grantee provides <br /> services and programming that complements and enhances library services provided by <br /> the City. <br /> C. Grantor received a $150,000 bequest in 1997 designated for the "library's <br /> general use," and with interest, the funds have grown to $225,000. <br /> D. Grantor desires to provide youth literacy services to the community, <br /> including literacy programs for children and families, but due to budget constraints, the <br /> City is not able to provide comprehensive youth literacy services and programming. <br /> E. Grantee is prepared to provide youth literacy programming to serve general <br /> library purposes, which secondarily benefits the City library. Grantee is uniquely situated <br /> to provide this type of programming within City libraries, because of its current presence <br /> in the City libraries, its familiarity with library programs, personnel, and procedures, and <br /> the history of its relationship and engagement with the Redwood City community. <br /> Grantee is particularly qualified to provide additional youth library services including <br /> storytimes, stronger collaboration between schools and the library, and recruitment and <br /> training of community volunteers. <br /> F. Grantee has submitted a proposal to the Library Board and the City, and <br /> has affirmed its willingness and ability to provide youth literacy programs. Upon the <br /> terms and conditions described herein, Grantor is willing to provide $225,000.00 to fund <br /> Grantee's provision of the services more particularly described in Exhibit A, which is <br /> attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. <br /> ATTY /AGR/2010.120 <br /> 103010 <br /> 1 <br />
