Work Group
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION: On August 15, 2011, the City received approval for the permanent
loan of the collection of historical artifacts from the former history museum at Camp Parks. Since that
time, the collection has been properly stored in a room at the Dublin Library and City volunteers have
been cataloging the artifacts. The City has also designed an annual exhibit using the collection.
On December 2, 2014, City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Camp Parks
Regional Forces Training Area (RFTA) that will allow the City to begin design and construction
documents for an exhibit space to house the collection in the new Visitor Processing Center, which is
outside the control check point for the Post and therefore easily accessible to the general public.
Attachment 1 is a site plan showing the location of the Heritage Center at the Main Gate, and
Attachment 2 is the floor plan for the building.
The entry will feature a lobby, reception area and restrooms. Beyond the lobby is a large 2,035 square -
foot space to exhibit the collection. The Center is be rounded out by a 540 square -foot Conference
Room that will be made available to the City as well as local community groups at the discretion of the
Garrison Commander.
Additionally there is a 200 square -foot storage room for items from the collection that are not on
display. PRFTA will finish off certain improvements to the space including adding walls, doors, carpet and
heating/ air for the Conference Room and Storage Room. The City is responsible for developing the
exhibit area. Staff is now ready to proceed with the project.
