6. First Step and Second Step Deaccessioning

Chair Merriam reported that, as required by collection management policy, the works of art recommended for second step deaccessioning were viewed by the Acquisitions Committee at the November 19, 2003 meeting.  A motion to approve first and second step deaccessioning was made and seconded.  There was no discussion among Trustees.  There was no public comment.  The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve first and second step deaccessioning for the works of art listed on page 8 of Appendix I of these minutes.

7. Purchases Reported for the Record

These objects are listed on page 9 of Appendix I of these minutes.

Chair Merriam introduced the following resolution:

Chair Merriam then encouraged Trustees to attend the Gala Preview Opening of the San Francisco Tribal and Textile Arts Show on Thursday, February 12, 2004, from 6 to 10 p.m., at the Festival Pavilion at Fort Mason.  Proceeds from the event are designated for the galleries for Textiles and the arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas in the New de Young Museum.  Gail and Alec Merriam and Bette and Randolph Scott are co-chairs of the gala.  A flier for the opening was distributed.

C. Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Director to Accept Year End Gifts of Art

The following resolution was introduced by Chair Merriam:

FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Director shall report to the Boards of Trustees of The Fine Arts Museums Foundation and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco at their next meetings, the gifts of art accepted during this period.

D. Report on Recent Developments Regarding the Building of a New de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park

President Wilsey advised that this matter will be addressed as part of the Executive Committee meeting of the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums, immediately following this meeting.

E. Report on the Golden Gate Park Concourse Authority Underground Parking Facility

At the request of President Wilsey, Carolyn Macmillan, Deputy Director of Marketing and Communications, reported on the Golden Gate Park Concourse Authority underground parking facility.  The San Francisco Planning Commission certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) on July 24, 2003.  On September 16, 2003, the Board of Supervisors held an FEIR appeal hearing and voted to uphold the certification decision of the Planning Commission.  The Board of Supervisors subsequently approved the bond financing and lease of Concourse space by the City to the Concourse Authority, as recommended by the Finance Committee.  All necessary approvals have been obtained in order for construction to begin.  Once the FEIR certification notice of determination is filed, the Save Golden Gate Park organization will have thirty days to file a legal action challenging the FEIR certification decision.

President Wilsey commented on a recent mailing from the Music Concourse Community Partnership that was sent to major donors.  It provides an encouraging update on the status of the garage project.

F. Consideration and Possible Action to Adopt a Resolution Changing the Date of the December 2004 Executive Committee Meeting

B. Consideration and Possible Action to Adopt a Resolution Requesting the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums to Solicit, Receive and Expend Funds Received to Support the Architectural, Seismic and Engineering Studies for a San Francisco History Museum at the Old Mint

Mr. Parker provided a status report on the creation of a San Francisco history museum in the Old Mint.  The Old Mint at Fifth and Mission Streets is a historic landmark built in about 1874, and is itself an artifact of San Francisco history.  The San Francisco Museum and Historical Society (SFMHS) has executed an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with the City of San Francisco for the restoration of the Old Mint and its reuse as a San Francisco history museum with a visitor center in partnership with the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau, and retail, restaurant, and office space.  Mr. Parker pointed out that the permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museums includes approximately 2,000 objects related to the history of San Francisco, the majority of which have not be on view to the public for some time.  Once the viability of a San Francisco history museum is assured, it would be appropriate for the Fine Arts Museums to transfer its San Francisco history collection to this new entity.

Legislation adopted by the Board of Supervisors in June 2002 established an eleven-member SFMHS Advisory Committee to make recommendations on a variety of matters pertaining to the creation of a San Francisco history museum to the Board of Supervisors, the SFMHS Board of Directors, and the FAMSF Board of Trustees.  The Advisory Committee is chaired by Ira Michael Heyman, former Chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley and former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and staffed by the Director of Museums and Judy Gough, Executive Secretary.  President Wilsey and Charles Crocker, former President of The Fine Arts Museums Foundation, represent the Museums on the Advisory Committee. 

The long-term lease of the Old Mint by the City to the SFMHS is conditioned upon the financial capability of the SFMHS, primarily a volunteer-based organization, to address the seismic condition of the Old Mint and to reconstruct the interior in a manner that is consistent with historic preservation requirements.  Under the terms of the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement, the SFMHS will be required to demonstrate to the City that $500,000 in funding has been raised for the Old Mint project in early January 2004.  An additional $500,000 in funds for a total of $1 million will need to be raised by June 2004.

The SFMHS raised approximately $100,000 in gross proceeds from the “From Mint to Museum” event held on June 30, 2003, and was awarded a $250,000 Housing and Urban Development appropriation through an Omibus Spending Bill, sponsored by Senator Dianne Feinstein.  In addition, various grants have been received or are pending.  The possibility of a City general obligation bond measure is also under consideration, which would provide funds for the seismic/engineering compliance of public historical buildings, including the Old Mint.  The SFMHS also has plans to launch a capital campaign in the near future.

Mr. Parker emphasized the importance of ensuring the future safety and well-being of the Museums’ San Francisco history collection and the need to create a San Francisco history museum.  He further recalled that in 1997 when the Board of Trustees was considering a downtown location for the de Young Museum, the feasibility of creating a City of San Francisco museum of history and culture at the de Young Museum location in Golden Gate Park was discussed.  He suggested that the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums (COFAM), which exists to support, aid and promote the Fine Arts Museums, might be requested to solicit, receive and expend funds to support the architectural, seismic and engineering studies for the Old Mint.

Mr. Parker read the following resolution drafted by COFAM’s legal counsel:

WHEREAS, The permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco (FAMSF) includes approximately 2,000 objects relating to the history of San Francisco, the majority of which have not been on view for many years; and

WHEREAS, The transfer of the Old Mint located at Fifth and Mission Streets from the United States General Services Administration to the City of San Francisco was completed in 2002 with the Board of Supervisors approving the comprehensive re-use proposal for the Old Mint, submitted by the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society (SFMHS) involving the creation of a San Francisco History Museum, and followed by the execution of a sixty-six year lease between the City and the SFMHS for the Old Mint in July 2002; and

WHEREAS, Approximately $1 million in funds must be raised in the immediate future to proceed with the design and development of the Old Mint building, including essential architectural, seismic and engineering studies, and to meet financial obligations to the City; and

WHEREAS, It is the intent of the FAMSF to transfer its San Francisco history collection to the San Francisco History Museum at the Old Mint when the long-term viability of this entity is assured; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That FAMSF desires support, aid and promotion from COFAM to ensure the future safety and well-being of its San Francisco history collection and the creation of a San Francisco History Museum, and hereby requests COFAM to solicit, receive and expend funds to support the architectural, seismic and engineering studies for the Old Mint, with any such funds received in that effort that are designated for that use to be expended by COFAM for that use.

A motion was made and seconded to adopt the above resolution.  Lengthy discussion ensued.  The following points were made:

1. A museum of San Francisco history is appealing;

2. The SFMHS, a volunteer-based organization, is in a period of transition and is attempting to address a number of operational and governance issues, including the retention of professional staff, expansion of its Board of Directors, and the development of its fund-raising capabilities;

3. COFAM’s involvement in soliciting, receiving and expending funds to support the architectural, seismic and engineering studies for the Old Mint brings a certain credibility to the Old Mint / San Francisco history museum project, which is important to potential donors;

4. Every effort should be made to assure that there is no misunderstanding regarding the role of COFAM as a conduit in helping to accelerate the growth of the SFMHS;

5. The feasibility and applicability of a fiscal agent role for COFAM should be examined;

6. COFAM should reserve the right to review SFMHS architectural, seismic and engineering costs before expending funds designated for these uses;

7. At the end of fiscal year 2003-04, a review of the solicitation, receipt and expenditure of funds to support the architectural, seismic and engineering studies for the Old Mint will be conducted; and

8. A San Francisco history museum might be an appropriate constituent museum for the Fine Arts Museums to consider in the future; at this time, the highest institutional priority is the completion and opening of the New de Young Museum in 2005.

Members of the Executive Committee were encouraged to tour the Old Mint.  There was no further discussion among Executive Committee members.  There was no public testimony.  The Executive Committee voted unanimously to adopt the above resolution as Board Resolution 1458.

C. Report on the December 6, 2003 History Museum Symposium Sponsored by the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society (SFMHS) Advisory Committee

Mr. Parker reported on the SFMHS sponsored symposium held on Saturday, December 6, 2003, at the Old Mint, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  There were approximately 80 participants comprised of history museum professionals, community and civic leaders, and members of the SFMHS Board of Directors.  The symposium featured the following speakers:  a) Neil Harris, Professor of History, University of Chicago (keynote speaker); b) Barbara Franco, President and CEO, City Museum of Washington, DC; and c) Robert Macdonald, Emeritus Director, Museum of the City of New York.

D. Report on the Selection of Two McNeil Volunteer Award Recipients, Textiles Volunteers Kathy Murphy and Donald Ellison, and Barbara Harbinson, Former Chair of the Ross Auxiliary, and a Posthumous McNeil Volunteer Award to Jim Hahn, Achenbach Volunteer

1. Consideration and Possible Action to Approve the Projects Proposed by the Two McNeil Volunteer Award Recipients, Each for $10,000 in Funding

The McNeil Volunteer Recognition Awards Task Force met in late October 2003 and selected three outstanding volunteers to receive the 2003 McNeil Volunteer Recognition Award.  The following award recipients were selected:  Kathy Murphy and Donald Ellison, Textiles Department volunteers since 1981 and 1994, respectively; and Barbara Harbinson, former Chair of the Ross Auxiliary, 1980-82 and 1992-93, and 1984-91 Exhibitions Chair of Bouquets to Art.  In addition, the Task Force agreed to make a special, posthumous award honoring Jim Hahn, Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts volunteer since 1989, who was killed in a hit-and-run automobile accident last fall.  The award recipients will be honored at the January 22, 2004 meeting of the Board of Trustees.

Mr. Parker presented the proposals from the award recipients for $10,000 each in funding for approval by the Executive Committee.  Kathy Murphy and Donald Ellison have proposed that their $10,000 award be directed to the purchase of a digital camera and camcorder, work lights, and a photo scanner, which will enhance the operation of the Textile Conservation Laboratory.  Barbara Harbinson proposes that her $10,000 award be designated to support the ongoing program to provide floral arrangements at the Legion of Honor and the New de Young Museum in the future, and to purchase new flower containers for both Museums.

On motion, duly seconded, there was no discussion among Trustees.  There was no public testimony.  The Executive Committee voted unanimously to approve the Museum projects proposed by Kathy Murphy and Donald Ellison, and Barbara Harbinson for $10,000 each in funding.  The Executive Committee expressed sincere appreciation to Carole and Robert McNeil for their continued support of the McNeil Volunteer Recognition Program.

E. City Budget

Mr. Parker noted the possibility of additional City budget reductions as Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mayor Elect Gavin Newsom address State and City budget deficits.

F. Personnel Report

Mr. Parker announced that Steve Dykes retired from the City effective December 5, 2003 and will no longer serve as the Deputy Director for Administration and Finance.  He will, however, remain as Director for Budget and Finance as a Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums (COFAM) employee and will be responsible for all fiscal matters pertaining to COFAM, The Fine Arts Museums Foundation, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco as a City department.

As of December 6, 2003, Debbie Albuquerque was appointed Deputy Director for Operations and Personnel.  Ms. Albuquerque, who has been with the Museums since 1978, will be responsible for Security, Engineering, Volunteer and Visitor Services, Human Resources, Health & Safety, and Legion Administration and Operations.  She will continue to provide human resources services for both COFAM and City employees.

G. Current and Future Exhibits

Degas Sculptures attendance is running about thirty percent under budget projections, necessitating reductions in the exhibition’s budget.  Membership renewals and general admissions revenues have fallen off.  Degas Sculptures closes on January 18, 2004 and will be followed by the opening of Art Deco (March 6 – July 4, 2004).  The Art Deco exhibition is expected to be popular and may make up for some of the lost revenue.

In response to a question raised by Trustee Podell, Mr. Parker commented on the importance of temporary exhibitions.  He noted that major museums are placing increased emphasis on changing exhibitions in response to public demand.  The Museums’ future major exhibition schedule features Courtly Art of the Ancient Maya, which runs from September 4, 2004 through January 2, 2005 at the Legion of Honor.  This exhibition, organized by the Fine Arts Museums, opens at the National Gallery in April 2004.  Bonjour Monsieur Courbet!  The Bruyas Collection from Montpellier opens in early 2005 at the Legion, followed by a costume exhibition, Art on Your Sleeve.  He pointed out during this period of time, the first institutional priority will be the installation of the New de Young Museum.
