Information
Agenda Item
Resolution - Libraries:
Consider a resolution authorizing the City Council to accept funding from the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), on behalf of the Lubbock Public Libraries, and authorizing the Mayor to execute any documents to purchase mobile devices and mobile service for those devices to be checked out through the Lubbock Public Library System.
Item Summary
On February 23, 2022, the Lubbock Public Libraries received the Funding Commitment Decision Letter (FCDL) from the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF), with the notification that the grant application for funding from the Emergency Connectivity Fund had been approved. Lubbock Public Libraries received $218, 993.00 to purchase mobile devices and $139,282.50 to purchase mobile plans for those devices for a total commitment of $358,275.50. These devices will be checked out through the Lubbock Public Library system to members of the Lubbock Community in order to immediately assist those that face challenges accessing reliable internet connections.
Fiscal Impact
This $358, 275.50 grant is fully funded by the Emergency Connectivity Fund, and therefore does not require a local match. Acceptance of these funds will result in no additional cost to the City of Lubbock.
