Regular City Council Meeting
5.1.1.

Information
Agenda Item
Resolution - Libraries:
Consider a resolution authorizing the City Council to accept additional funds from the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) for mobile service on devices previously purchased with ECF funds, and authorizing the Mayor to execute any documents to purchase that mobile service for the devices, which are checked out through the Lubbock Public Library system.
Item Summary
On July 27, 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 additional funding from the Emergency Connectivity Fund had been approved. Lubbock Public Libraries received $287,700 to purchase an additional year of mobile service for devices purchased with previous ECF funding. 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 $287,700 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.
