MATCHING FUNDS <br />According to the listed formula, Cabarrus County Public Library will provide $6,181.00 in <br />Matching Funds (total divided by 5 for a request amount less than the maximum, at 25% match <br />required for lack of an eligible partner). <br />9. SUSTAINABILITY <br />The intended outcome of a long-range strategic plan should directly account for sustainability <br />by providing a road map for library growth and direction. The final product will span several <br />years and assist with aligning CCPL's annual goals and activities with community need beyond <br />the fluctuation of funding. If major changes occur, the strategic plan may be updated to reflect <br />new information while maintaining the original intent. <br />Library administration also intends to tie the results of the strategic plan into the system's <br />annual program summary, which includes performances measures, as a way to track the <br />continued success of the plan. <br />30. ABSTRACT <br />Cabarrus County continues to grow and diversify as a result of the expanding Charlotte <br />metropolis, and the library system has reached a critical juncture for long-range planning. To <br />formulate a vision and road map for the future based on the input of the community, Cabarrus <br />County Public Library seeks an EZ Grant for planning and facilities assessment, resulting in an <br />official strategic plan. With an increased demand on services, two new branches in <br />consideration, and several existing facilities with inadequate space in need of expansion or <br />relocation, the assistance of a professional consultant who can facilitate conversations with <br />county residents, policy makers, and library staff as to current and future needs of Cabarrus <br />libraries will be a tremendous asset in continuing to connect citizens with information and <br />resources that educate, enrich, and empower. <br />ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS: PLANNING GRANTS <br />PLl. Stakeholder involvement will take place through interviews, public forums, surveys, and <br />meetings as broadly outlined in the project timeline. Individuals and groups involved include <br />library employees, Cabarrus County and municipal management, the Cabarrus County Board of <br />Commissioners, the Library Board of Trustees, and the general public. Awareness of <br />opportunities to participate in project activities will be communicated through both library and <br />Cabarrus County Public Library <br />CCPL: Plan & Grow Together (LSTA EZ GRANT) <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F-3 Page 53 <br />
