The result is the development of an annual work plan with activities that are generated in a way that is mindful of the City Council's adopted Strategic Plan, and the City's Mission; Vision and Values. Funding for the identified strategic goals is then incorporated into the annual budget. This approach ensures the Strategic Plan is driving the budget and that funding allocations are aligned with the City Council's overarching strategic priorities. Those priority initiatives that are more routine-in-nature and do not fit into the Strategic Plan are incorporated into the City Manager's Annual Work Plan, from which the City Departments derive individual Work Plans. These work plans are in addition to the existing operational and programmatic responsibilities for, the Department. This report contains a review of the Parks and Community Services Department Work Plan items relevant to Heritage and Cultural Arts for the two-year budget cycle.

COPIES TO: ITEM NO.: 8.2 C:\Documents and Settings\christiem\Desktop\8-9-12 Item 8 2 Parks and C'.ommunity Services Work Plan.doc Apply for Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) in lieu of Phase IV of the Museum Assessment Program (MAP) The Dublin Heritage Park and Museums has completed the first three phases of the Museum Assessment Program: Organizational Assessment (OMAP) completed in 2006; Community Engagement Assessment (CEMAP) completed in 2009; Collections Stewardship Assessment (CSMAP) completed in 2011. The final phase MAP assessment available is the Leadership Assessment (LMAP). The LMAP focuses on basic non-profit governance practices, and legal and ethical issues specific to museums. It enhances the ability of the museum's leadership to advance the museum's mission, plan more strategically and meet the standards for public trust and accountability. The study assesses the governing authority's (in this case the City Council) structure. and function, the museum's overall organizational structure, the relationship between governing body and Staff, prepare for accreditation or reaccreditation. Since this phase of the MAP is more relevant to a privately operated and funded museum, Staff recommends pursuing the CAP instead. A CAP or general conservation assessment is a study of museum conditions, policies, and procedures that relate to and affect collections care, including: storage and exhibition conditions, museum environment, fabrication and condition of structures housing collections, museum staffing and training, policies and procedures concerning the use of collections. For the Conservation Assessment Program (CAP), professional conservators spend two days on-site conducting the assessment and three days writing a report with prioritized recommendations. While there is some overlap between CAP and MAP, these programs complement one another by focusing on different aspects of collections care. MAP examines the "big picture" such as how policies, procedure, and planning affect collections care. CAP is more focused on preservation and conservation of the collections. Additionally, the recent MAP stewardship and collections phase was completed by a peer, while the CAP would be conducted by professional conservators. Applications for the CAP will be available in October and due December 1, 2012. Develop and implement Parks and Community Services Marketing and Promotions Plan This project provides funding to conduct a statistically valid marketing research survey to inform the development of an annual Marketing and Promotions Plan. The data would also be used to inform the update of the Department Strategic Plan during the following fiscal year. The annual Department Marketing Plan would include strategies and recommendations related to branding, key messaging and promotional techniques including Print Media, Mobile Technologies, and Internet, Social Media, Streaming Video, Email and media buys. PROJECTS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014 Digitize cemetery records and create G/S layer for cemetery data This project will further digitize the records for the Pioneer Cemetery and provide spatial data for the City's Geographic Information System (GIS) related to each plot. As a result data for each plot would be included on a map such as owner name, status of plot (full/empty), name of those buried in the plots, pictures of headstones, and scanned images of documents related to the plot. Explore opportunities to preserve and display Camp Parks historical artifacts collection This project will provide funding to contract with a professional museum consultant to create a long range plan for the Camp Parks collection that also addresses the City's existing collection at the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums. The consultant will be tasked with creating collections policies, and addressing opportunities for exhibition of the collections including virtual, temporary and permanent exhibits. 2 of 3 Coordinate Selection Process for Public Art in Phase I of the Emerald Glen Recreation and Aquatic Complex Following the review of the proposed Public Art Plan for the facility by the Commission and approval of the City Council, Staff will conduct the selection process for any public art planned for Phase I of the facility. It is anticipated the selection process would be completed during FY 2013-2014, and that fabrication and installation would occur during the following fiscal year. Conduct a survey of Department programs and assets to identify things that can be valued and sponsored by other entities In an effort to identify new sources of revenue to support existing programs and services, Staff will conduct a survey of City assets and programs within the Parks and Recreation Department that could be sponsored in some manner. The purpose of this effort is to create a strategic approach to sponsor contacts and ensure a consistent value model is applied to sponsorship opportunities. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission receive the report. 3 of 3
