The grant funds will be an incremental increase to other current and anticipated <br />library funding and will not replace previously budgeted items. <br />2. All good faith efforts will be made to sustain the public access cornputing capability <br />established by this grant. Such efforts will be aimed at assuring that all computers <br />and peripheral equipment are kept fully operational and appropriately supplied. <br />Also, every effort will be made to assure adequate public funding for the proper <br />maintenance and eventual replacernent of the equipment provided by this grant. <br /> <br />By signing this letter, I affirm that I have reviewed the application materials and understand <br />that there will be costs associated with receiving a Foundation grant that are not covered <br />by the grant. These expenses may include, but are not limited to, staff, <br />construction/remodeling, furniture, material and supplies, ongoing telecornmunication costs <br />and non-granted software and hardware. I agree to provide all available support to assist <br />the library in covering these costs. <br /> <br />Signature <br /> <br />Michael E. Malone.
