<p class="MsoNormal">Hello LSTA’ers!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know that we’ll be meeting later today but I hope that you might take a minute to consider this question (from my State Librarian!)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to the multitude of suggestions that we are getting from the NJ library field for ways to spend the ARPA funds, she wants to put out a short email which includes non-allowable costs. I’ve already listed construction, and I’ve put in
the draft email that the funds need to be spent and the project complete by September 30, 2022. When I look at the 2 CFR 200 section there is a section on costs and the text indicates what is allowable and non-allowable. However, much of what is there doesn’t
apply to what the field is asking for. I had a “cheat” sheet from IMLS a long time ago. Does anyone still have it/remember/can bring it up in summary fashion? Or, perhaps you give out sub-grants regularly (which NJ hasn’t in decade) and have a section of your
web site that lists non-allowable costs.<o:p></o:p></p>
