[lstac] Question about grant funded staff compliance

[Enge, Kate A (EED)]

Good morning,

What do you all do to make sure grant-funded library staff are 100% using those funds for the project?  Do you just give the libraries the benefit of the doubt?

For example, Alaska has a long-running program hosted by a public library that has been funded by both State and LSTA funds over the years.  Recently it has been funded 100% with LSTA funds.  The staff at the library have a document they fill out and sign quarterly that says 100% of their salary was spent doing project duties.  However, and I know this from working with the program, there are some activities that may or may not fit in 100% with the LSTA project depending on who is doing the interpreting.  This has come up now because my boss is going over projects and programs with a fine tooth comb to make sure they are all in compliance.

Any help and guidance will be appreciated.  If you want more specifics I can give those out as well.

Thank you everyone, I hope your fiscal year started off smoother than ours!

Kate
