MEETING DATE: September 10, 2015
SUBJECT: Dublin Camp Parks Military History Center Management Plan
Prepared by Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts and Heritage Manager
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Dublin Camp Parks Military History Center Management Plan
RECOMMENDATION: Receive report and recommend City Council accept.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION: Following the United States Army's permanent loan of 800+ Camp
Parks military artifacts to the City of Dublin, and the December 2014 signing of a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with Parks Reserve Forces Training Area, which will allow the City of Dublin to
operate exhibit space at the new Camp Parks Main Gate, a work group of City, community and military
representatives was convened to develop a management plan for the exhibit space.
With the help of a facilitator who specializes in public facilities planning, the work group studied various
museum models, policies and best practices; historical events and societal trends since Camp Parks'
establishment during World War II; and the general scope of Camp Parks-related artifacts and oral
histories currently cared for by the City of Dublin.
Using these as inspiration, the work group envisioned a history center that would tell the stories of
service people and local residents connected with Camp Parks and engage the general public, as well as
military veterans and families past and present, Dublin students and historians. The work group
articulated a mission, vision and values statements for the history center and identified key
interpretative themes and messages likely to resonate with a broad audience. This management plan,
drafted by the City's professional museum staff, details the work group's process, ideas and
recommendations related to how items will be collected and shared with the public. The plan provides a
framework that can be used by a professional museum design/build team contracted by the City to
develop the exhibits. (Attachment 1).
Staff will provide an overview of the proposed Dublin Camp Parks Military History Center Management
Plan at the Commission meeting.

'1'he ��'orl:ing Group,which met from �1pri1 throu�l� junc ?015, proaided input that Staff used to prepare
this 1��lanagemcnt Plan in order to establish and articulate a frame�vork for long-term plannin�and decision
mal;ing for rhe Dublin Catnp Parks ?�7ilirai�- I Iistor�� Center.
The Camp Parks I Iistot�� Centei officiall�� opened in 1993, with tesponsibiliri� foi the Center placed in the
hands of Parl�s Resci-�re Forces '1'raining ,�rea's (PRI�T.�) Public ��ffairs Office. "I'he History' Center was
located at PRI;T:� in Building 6?0 and included appro�imatel�� 1,500 square feet of cYhibit space. "I'he
collection be�an �vith donations from former sci-�-ice personnel of artifacts from nc�ir senrice at"Fleet
Cit��.
Tn 1)95, the Public l�ftairs Office mo�ed to another buildin�;and the Public ��ffairs Officer��ho opened
tl�c Histoi-�� Ccnter resigncd. The Ccnter�vas left unattcnded, so�rolunteci Tominie Simpson, �vho had
se�-��ed 1t Shoe�r�aker Na�-a1 Hospital durin���'\�'II, recruited sc�reral otl�er trolunteers to operate the
Center, inrerpret the materia], and gro�a and preset-�-e thc collection.
In fall 2009, 1�1s. Simpson �vas informcd that thc Centcr��ould be relocated from Building 620 to Building
200 and that the collection had to be ino�-ed�vithin a fe�v da��s. The Dublin Historical Preser�ation
Page 4 of 34
i�ssociation (DI IP:�) ecsponded b�� hiring a ino��ing compan�� and recruiting�olunteers to assisT��ith the
relocation. Both ��1s. Simpson and the DT TP,� bclie�-ed that Building 200 ��ould be the new homc for the
Cenrer and began to recruit�rolunteer assistance. 'I'he Center��as closed and the eshibits and materi�l
��ere placed in Bui]ding 200 for- indefinite storage. Prior to the move, there had ne��er been an in�rentorj�
done ot the Center's collecuon.
In 2010, cfforts �vcrc made bv a small numUer of coluntecrs to inventotl� and appropriately� package and
presei-��e the collection. I3�� 1�1a�- 2010, PRFT�� decided ehat the Center would not be reopened and diiected
that the im�cneorp and storage acti�-ities end. PRFT:� officiall�� took possession of the collcction and bcgan
efforts to deter�nine a final disposition for d�e collection.
In 2011, following efforts b�� the Cin� of llublin,PRF'I"r� and DI IP_1, the U.S. r�rm5�gave the entirc
collcction to tl�e Cin� of Dublin on �crmanent loan. It is currentl�� srored and preser�red in a secure and
conditioned space in the Dublin Public I ibiai:j� e�pansion space.
On December 2, 201�, d7e Dublin Cie�� Council approved a 1�Zemorandum of Lnderstanding (I��fOU) �vith
PRT"I'1\ that allowed thc Cin� to be�in�planning and designing an c�hibit spacc to house the collection in
the new Camp Parl;s Visitor Processing Center, locatcd outside rhe control j�oint at the new Camp Parks
I�Iain Gate on Doughern� Road and Camp Parks I3ouleeard.

� During��'��'II,l�mericans from all sectors of socien� responded to support each othei in sei-�Ting
thcir counti-�� and dcfcnding thcir�vaa of life. On anti� particular da5� in 194�, approYiinatcl�� 70,000
U.S. Na�ral, �iarine and Coast Guard personnel liti-ed at Camp Parks, Camp Shoemaker and
Shoemaker Naval Hospital (Flcct Cin�). The endea�-ors of those�vho trained at and passed through
l�leet Cin� �verc cssential to thc��ar effort and�Tictor�� in the Pacific "1"heatcr.
� I�leet Cit}� gre��in concert widz the rapid technological, economic, and social change brought about
bj� ��-'��'IL The abilit�� to inno�T�te, mobilize and adapt large and complcY��orks of enginecring was
a critical component of militar�� success in the war. To meet these ne�v construction needs, Camp
P1rks became one of the largcst training and rede�loti-ment centers on the«'cst Coast, training
more than 100,000 Na�ral Construction Battalion pci•sonnel, popularl�� kno��n as Seabees.
� Tleet Cin� shaped thc landscape of the l�ublin area, leading to rapid and substanrial economic,
gcographic 1nd demo�raphic changes. Rural ranchland �vas transformed into a��ar-tirne inilitat-��
cin�. 'i'odati� Camp Parks preseitires remnants of this once-common, but capidl�� disappearin�, rural
grassland landscape. These changes to the landscape �ro�-ide �vindo��s into a past that shaped the
communi��- �ve kno�v todaj�.
� The rapid construction of Camp Parl�s, as �vell as the population gro��th that accompanied it,
sei�red as a precedent for the��a�e of suburban gcowth that follo�ved thc war, turning the rural
agricultutal to�vns of Dublin,Plcasanton and Li�-ermore into the cities that the�� are today. Thc
four-�-car e�istencc of Fleet Cin� re�-caled the potential of unde�Teloped rural land with
transportation connections to the larger ciues.

Be��ond the artifact collections described above, associated resources are the artifacts, structures, and
landforms that are part of the stor�� of Camp Parks but�re outside the Histor�� Center collections. �\,'hile it
maj� not be realistic to add these resources to the E-�istoi-�� Center collection, considering these resources is
important for interpreti�-c planning purposes. "1'he follo�ving are additional resources, outsidc thc scope of
the collection,1�ut important to telling thc Cam� Parks storv:
• Cainp Parks original cntrance sign and station (I3ruce Goft�
• r�ormer Camp Parks architecture*, no�v relocated diroughout the Baj��1rea, including:
o San I.orenzo Communin- Church —Camp Park's �TcGann Chapel (I3ruce Goff�
o San Joayuin Ri�rcr Club—Camp Shoemakcr Officer's Rccrcation Building
o Quonset huts around the I3ati� ��rca

passes�rer�� close to the Dublin Cam� Parl�s T��istoi-�� Ccnter.
Interpreti�re theme statemcnts are specificall�� intended for guiding inteipreti�-e planning. Inter�rerive
themc statements are the essence of stories used to help �isitors elplore the multiple mcanings of the
resources �vithin the Camp Parks collcetion. {�;ach theme statement connects the collection and associated
resources to larget historical contests, meanings, beliefs and�ralucs. Theme statements incorporate
univei•sal concepts—big ideas that mean somedzing, though not necessarilti- the same thing, to e�Tcr}�one—
in oxder to make interpretation rcle�-ant to 2��ide�rarict�- of��isirors. Uni�-ersal concepts make�risible
avcnues foc�-isitors from Dublin, the I3a���1rea and all o�Tcr d�e �uorld to draw connections bet��ecn the
artifacts, e�-ents, time-periods and location of the Camp Parks storv. Interpretive theine statements serve
as the building blocks on�t�hich to base the interpreti�re programs (exhibitions, public programs, education
progt�ams, publications, and access for iesearch).
Primai-��interprcti�-c themes arc rhe broad, o�-erarchin� storics that cnable people to explore thc
si�nificances of the collections and stories. Tl�e�� are factual significance statements that have been
thou�htfull�� Translated into sCOrics. Sub-thcrnes arc deri�rcd from primai-�� interprcti�Te themes. The�� are
narro��er in scope and deeper in tl�eir recatment of the particular as�ects of the resources thej� address.
Therc is no limit to the number of sub-thcmes that can be dcri�-ed from a primai��- interpretive theme.
'1'his collectiot� ot interpieti�-e theme statcmenTS is meant to begin the interprcti��e planning process for tl�e
Dublin Camp Paiks l�7ilitar�- T Iistoi-�� Center. The artifacr and archi�ral collection is longitudinal in nature,
containin� stories �hat are spccific to time and place, but also stoiies d��t reanscend remporal and
geographic boundaries. 1'hese big stories that emerge from the collection speak to the:
� '1"ranstormation of the Dublin�"l�ri-�'alle�� landscapc from its beginnings as rural ranchland in 19�2
to the citics�vhich exist toda��.
� '1'ranstormation of the indi�-idual o�-er timc of l�filitar�� scr�-icc

� '1"ransformation of the demogr-aphic makeup of the U.S. �lrmed I�orces (the changing face of thc
mil i tar�-)
� Transformation of thc mission of thc U.S. militli-�� at home and abroad
Theme Statement L• '1'he interaction of agriculture, transportation, technolog�� and the changing nature of
�var shaped the landscape and experience of the Dublin communin�, transforming rural ranchland into a
net�vork of'1'ci-�'alle�� cities.
� Sub-tl�cmcs:
o '1'he transportation corridors that connected this unde�-eloped ranchland to the ports of the
Ba�-llrea �vcre essential to the creation of Camp Parks, as �vell as the suburban
de�-elopmcnt that follo�ved the cnd of���'��'TI, and remain irnportant characteristics of the
Dublin communin- for residents toda�-.
o Sur�ri�>ing fraginents of d�e Camp Parks' built cn�-ironment scr�-e as �uindo�vs into Dublin's
past and re�Tcal facets of thc rc�ion's stocv of transform2tion.
o Sui-�ri�rin�;pieces of thc Camp Parks' built environment, as �vell as items constructed bj-
Seavees far from home, ie�-eal the impact that indi��iduals �vho came through C�mp Parks
had on thc facilin�, the communih� and thcir countt-��. '1'heii-sui-�-i�-ing structures, both
locall�- and glob�ll�-, tell die s�or�� of��`��'TT, its imrnediarc aftermath and the de�Telopment
of a re�;ion.
Theme Statement 2: Camp Parks is representative ot a n-pe of ordinaiy place�ti�here individual Ameiicans
worked collecti�rel�� to accomplish e�traordinar�-, remarkable things.
� Sub-themes:
o Camp Parks embodied the sacrifice and collecti�e effort of set-�-ice inen and��omen, as
�vell as local ciirilians,in support of the ���ar effort.
o "1'he manj-tiraried cY�eriences of service personncl and local citi-ilians at Camp Parks o�rer
d�e��ears illustrate constanc�� and con�-crsel�� change. Tl�e militar�'s role continuousl�r
c�rohres, adaptin� to ne�v demands and conditions, the face of the armed forces transforms
along�vith ��mcric2n attitudcs to�vard racial and gendcr equalin�. In contrast, the militar��
personnel and ci�rilians herc dcmonstrare a continuous sense of sereice and sacrifice that
remains from onc �cneration to the nc�t.
Theme Statement 3: Camp Parks has sci-�-ed as a place of transformation for the ser�ricemen and
senrice�vomen�vho passed through tlle Post. I3acked b�- a sense of commitmcnt to a global, moral cause,
as well as a desire to support one another, the�� trained to become Seabccs, nurses and soldiers.
� Sub-dzemes:
o "I'he Post could also be a place of comfort and camaraderie. Shoemaker Na�-a1 Hospita]
served as a place�vhere militarl� staff treated the injuries and illnesses of thcir fellow
personnel, often incw�red in thc line of dun�.
o [��pon rcturn from dut�� o�Terseas, sailors�vould be among hundreds ot�housands of fcllo��
ser�-icemen and �voinen passing through the disch2rge center at Camp Shoemaker
Page 10 of 34
preparing to makc thcir re-entr��into civilian lifc. ��'hcther the�� ��cre icturning to a home
across d�c countr�- or setding nearb�>, the transition was an often-dramatic chan�e.
Theme Statement 4: The�raried e�periences of sei-�-ice personnel stationed at I�leet Ciry reflect Ilinerica's
changing attitudes to���rd the rights of�vomen �nd�lfiican-,Americans in the C�.S. 1lrmed F�orces. Setti�ice
personncl challcnged inequalities at homc,�vhile gi�-ing their all for the �var etfort Their experiences both
contrast and highli�ht some of the stated idcals that militaiti- personnel werc fighting to defend abroad.
� Sub-tllemes:
o ��t Shoemaker Na�ral I�lospital, the��'omen ��cce�tcd for�'olunteer Emergenc�� Services
(��'�V1;S) were pioncers, as the first�uomcn accepted into the L.S. Na��r undee d�c same
ranl�sy�stcm as men. B�' taking ad�ranta�;e of opportunities created b�= the�var's need for
peisonnel, the��'�1�'FS e�perience opened tl�e process of significant change in the armcd
forces.
o "I�'he eYperience of 1\fr�ican-z�merican sailors at Fleet Cin� during���'��'II reflectcd the
inequalitics .�merican socict�-�vresded �vith during the�var and inspircd others to continue
fi�;hting the I�oublc �' Cam�aign, callin�; on go�-crnment lcaders to pursue libertt� abroad
and at home��itl� the slog�n, "��'e ha��c a stake in this fighd «'e are�lmericans too!"
o "1"he�raried eYpeiienees oti sen-ice members seationed at historical Camp Parks since 1)42
rcflcct a transfoemation of the idca of��ho can be a member ot the armed forces.
Theme Statement 5: Installations lil�e Camp Parl�s are thc statesidc manifestations of�mericans'
commitment to dcfending libern�, peace, and economic growth.
� Sub-thcmes:
l�or man�� �mericans at the rime,��'orld��'ar II was a criucal moment�vhen tl�e�� sacrificed
mone��, material goods and livcs to �rotect fami]v, communin� and basic human rights.
�� 0�-er the course of tl�e war, local ci��ilians supported operations of Camp Parks through
thcir woik, material contributions and moral support "I'his ga�re communin� membcrs a
meaningful and uscful �ua�� to contributc to a war effort that, whether the��were enlisted or
not, had a �rcat im�act on the li�-es of most .lmericans.
Theme Statement 6: The etTol�-ing acti�-itics of the sct-�-ice �crsonnel stationed at Camp Parks illuminate
the changin�rolc of the rnilitac�� o�-cr time; from constcuction durin�«'��'II, to air po�ver during ILOrea, to
civil �nd national defensc during the Cold ��'ar, to training reseive torces for sei-��icc toda��. A�'hile the
rechnolo��- has changed, the mis�ion of sct�-ice remains the s�me.
� Sub-thcmes:
_� During the Cold ��'ai, Camp Parks e��ol�red to face new,unknown threats to libern�and
securinr: communism and nuclear�varfare. Tor both the per5onnel training at Parks :�ir
Force Base to pro�Tide air power in ILOrca and the scientists conducting radiation
esperiments and designin� fall-out shelters, this ne�v rechnologa created fear as ��ell as new
possibilitics for prorection.

DESCRIPTION:
The City has an opportuniry to partncr with Camp Parks to crcate a"Military Hcritage Center"at
the Visitor Center being constructed at the n�w gate off Dougherly Road at Mariposa Lane. The
purpose of this partnership would be to exhi�it the historical artlfacts the City has on permanent
loan from the Department o(the Army.
As background, on Octot�er 19, 2010. the City Council c:irected Statf secure a donation of the
historical ai�;ifacts from the formcr history museum at Camp?arks, and to pursue the concept ot
a perrnanent mus�um o( rr�ibtary hisiory at the community park In the (ulure Dublin Crossing
dnvelo�ment {Attachmeni t is the Staff Report from thai meeting). Staff worked with the
Department of the Army and on Augus[15,2011 received approval of the permanent loan of the
collection to the City. The collection was moved to an area in the expansion space at the
Library. Staff has worked wilh a lead volunteer horn the Historic Park and Museums to lurther
catalog the coilection and ensure thE contents are stored for preservation.
The City has a key initialive lor ihe current Fiscal Year (FY) to have a consultant develop a
Coileclions Policy for the Camp Parks collectlon, and determine oppoitunities to exhibit the
coilection on a ternporary, virtuai and permanenC basis. Funding was allocated m the budget
this FY to conduc?ihe study and deveiop the plan
Staff hom the Parks and Community Services Depar[ment recently met with Lt. Colonel Gerdes
ro d�scuss ihe study planned by the City. Lt. Colonel Gerdes Indlcated thai, as part of the
development of the new main gate for the Base on Dougherry Road. inere wlll be a new Visitor
Control Center, which has a 2.40G s�uare foot room that r,ould be used to exhib�t the Camp
Parks Goliection (by comparison tha Library Community Roorn is t,800 square teet). The room
is unfinished and shelled out for tenar�t improvements. This type of unfinished space would lend
itself well to an exh�bition space and storage for the collection artifacts that are not on dispiay.
In concept Camp Parks would allow the City to create a permanent exhibit in the room, as weil
as provide opportunities for temporary exhibitions. This would allow the C(ty to deveiop plans
for a Military Hcritage Center without having to pay for thc cstirn�ted$1.0 million it would cost to
construct a simila!buiiding. The Lt Colonel indicated that,while Camp Parks could provide the
s�ace, they would not have resources to develop the space or operate the Cenler once iC is
opened.
Staff recommends the City Councll consider ihis site for the permanent exhibition of the Camp
Parks Collection, rather than the tuture community park ai Dublin Crossing, as previously
directed. It would signi(icantly reduce the capital outlay and the collection would be on dlsplay
at the basc,which is more relevant to the coliection.
it the City Gouncll concu�s and has interest in pursuinc� ihis partnership a[thc new Camp Parks
Visllor Center, Sla[f would [urtl�ier �isoussions wilh L�. Colo���el Gercies to develop a
memorandum of unders;ariding or partnership agreement with Camp Parks for City Council
conslderation at a future meet��ng. As part oi the process Staff would reach out to the Dublin
Historical Preservation Association to delerm°�ne the�r interesi in partnering with the City on Che
project.
ConCUrrently Sta(f would fincJ a consultant to prepare the Camp Parks Collections Policy and
develop an exhibit plan and cost estimate for ihe tenant improvements and Construclinn of the
exhibiL 5tatf wouid involve a vanety of stakeholders ln the plar}�ing process including:

MEMORANQUM OF UNDERS7ANOING BETWEEN
The City of Dublin (Dubiin)

FOR
A Heritage Center on Camp Parics
iN81 WYN-14334-319
7his is a Memarandum of Understanding (MUU) between the City of Qublin("Dubiin")
and Parlcs Raserve Farces Training Area(hereafter"Camp Parks"). When refeRed to
collectively, City of[7ublin and the Camp Parks are refeRed to individually as a Party
and collectively as the "Parties".
1. BACKGR�UND: Camp Parks placed a number of artifacts associated with the
history of the instaliation in the care of the Dublin as a permanent loan on a non-
compensable basis. For several years, t�e City has voluntsered to store and provide
viewing space for this callection of historic items,to include: articles, documents, and
items of interest and value. The size of the coUection has increased such that the City
is no longer able to provide adequate space. There is significant interest in being able
to visw and study these articles and items at a lacat+on within Camp Parks;wt�ieh will
allow 5oldiers and the public the ability ta view and research these items in a secure,
climate controlled environment within the Camp Parks garrison area. Designating a
dlsplay area for this collection within Camp Parks Visitor Control Center permits these
items to ba stored, viewed and researched and, it afso serves the Army's intent to
preserve its history.
2. PURPOSE: The intended use of the building includes an artifact storage room and a
large conference room that would be made available to the City of Dublin as well as
local cammunity groups at the discretian of the garrison commander, Camp Parks.
Camp Parks plans to designate an approximate 2,d35 s.f. portion of Bldg 275,
(hereafter"the facility�'}, as the Gamp Parks Heritage Collection to display a portion of
the collectian of Camp Parks artifacts that are on loan to Dublin. That portion of the
building would be open to the pub(ic. It is the intent that all display cases,fixtures,
special lighting, etc. that would be built to accomplish this would b�portable and
removable in nature so as to accommadate a future,albeit unlikeiy, change in use for
the space. The conference room would be made available for use by Dublin upan
�equest ta and approval by the Garrison Comrnander, PRFTA. These areas may also
be made available�o other local community groups at the request to and approvai by
the Garrison Gammander, PRFTA. The Garrison Commander has the discretion to
approve or deny any request.
