The State Library Board shall accept applications for capital facilities grant
prioritization through June 1 of each year.
All applications must be submitted electronically via the Department of Community and Culture (DCC) and its division web portals. Before July 1, Division staff will be allowed to re-direct applications if it is determined the applicant would be better served if another DCC board reviewed the request. Applicants will be notified within five working days by the division if the division redirects the application to another division. Incomplete applications will not be considered by the board. By definition, capital facilities grants shall include new construction, preservation, restoration, and renovation.
Prioritization will be based on the following criteria:
- Goals of application
- Public benefit of project
- Strategic value of partnerships
The Board shall submit its final prioritized list to DCC Administration at least three working days prior to September 30 of each year. Each board shall prepare a list of the requested capital facilities grants in a prioritized order and include a written explanation of the total grant amount requested and the basis for prioritization of requested grants on the list.
DCC Administration will submit the Board's prioritized lists to the DCC-assigned budget analyst in the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget and the DCC-assigned analyst in the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's Office by September 30 of each year. The Governor's Office of Planning and Budget will forward the prioritized lists to the Governor. The Legislative Fiscal Analyst's Office will forward the prioritized lists to the appropriate members of the Legislature's Appropriations Subcommittee and leadership.
