Section 54-1-23 - Allocation of the grant-in-aid fund among the regional systems of cooperating libraries

(a) The system grant-in-aid distribution specified by K.S.A. 75-2555, shall allocate a base grant of equal size to each regional library system.

(b) The remainder of each annual authorization shall be allocated using a formula with the following two factors:

(1) one-fourth of the population of the system territory; and

(2) the total square miles of the system territory.

(c) The base grant component of the distribution shall be increased or decreased by an amount determined using the following calculations:

(1) Determine the percent of change in the total annual authorization from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year; and

(2) Multiply the percent determined under paragraph (1) by the difference between the total annual authorization in the prior fiscal year and the total annual authorization in the current fiscal year. This amount shall be added to the base grant component in those years when the authorization has been increased or subtracted from the base grant component when the authorization has been decreased.

(3) This method of allocation between the base and formula components shall be followed until the two components are equal.

(4) Future increases in the authorization shall then be equally divided between the base and formula components.

(d) In any year that the total annual authorization is decreased to, or below, the level of the 1989 amount, the fund shall be divided equally among the systems.
