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.
