BACKGROUND <br /> In July 2007, the City of Pleasanton and the Amador-Livermore Valley Historical <br /> Society entered into the first professional services agreement for enhanced and <br /> expanded interpretive programming forthe Alviso Adobe Community Park, as well <br /> as foradministrative and programming costs associated with operations of the <br /> Museum on Main. Since the Alviso Adobe opened in October 2008, the educational <br /> programs have flourished, the docent program has been established, and a <br /> collections management program was initiated. In 2017, the original agreement was <br /> separated into two agreements: one for the reimbursable expenses for services at <br /> the Alviso Adobe Community Park, and one forthe administrative and programming <br /> costs associated with operations of the Museum on Main. The latter agreement <br /> expires December 31, 2022. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The Museum on Main provides programming and services to preserve and <br /> commemorate the history of Pleasanton and the Livermore Valley. If approved, <br /> costs to the City would be $109,800 annuallyand a total of$549,000 overthe five-year <br /> term of the agreement. Funding will be used to assist with staff salary costs, day to <br /> day operation expenses, public programs, and supplies. The Museum's operating <br /> hours have been expanded to include Tuesdays and opening earlier in the day to <br /> accommodate additional foot traffic. In the summer, the Museum offers free walking <br /> tours in several neighborhoods in or close to the historic downtown. The Museum <br /> on Main will also continue to offer its highly regarded Lecture Series at the <br /> Firehouse Arts Center. <br /> City staff and ALVHS have agreed to meet yearly to discuss this contract and <br /> services provided. This collaborative relationship has strengthened over the years <br /> and the ALVHS Board of Directors is supportive of the proposed agreement. <br /> Through this agreement, the Museum on Main will continue to offer superlative <br /> historical services and preserve Pleasanton's rich history. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> Heidi Murphy Susan Hsieh Gerry Beaudin <br /> Director of Library Finance Director City Manager <br /> and Recreation <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
