C. Training Session on Chapter 67 of the San Francisco Administrative Code, the Sunshine Ordinance – Adine Varah Deputy City Attorney
President Wilsey advised that the Sunshine Ordinance, Chapter 67 of the San Francisco Administrative Code, requires all officials, who file statements of economic interest with the San Francisco Ethics Commission, to be trained annually on the Sunshine Ordinance and to file a declaration that they have done so.
Deputy City Attorney Adine Varah proceeded to review the key points outlined in the Sunshine Ordinance training material, “Sunshine Laws for Board Members,” which was distributed to Trustees. She noted that the City’s commissions, boards and committees exist to conduct the people’s business. The public meeting laws, San Francisco’s Sunshine Ordinance, and the State of California Brown Act, ensure that the deliberations and actions of public bodies are conducted openly. These laws serve to inform the public of matters to be discussed and acted upon, allow the public to participate in these deliberations, and keep the public informed of what occurred through public meeting records. She emphasized the following points:
1. A meeting occurs whenever a majority of the members of a policy body come together at the same time and place. As stipulated by the San Francisco Charter, one-third of the number of Trustees in office constitutes a quorum for the FAMSF Board of Trustees.
2. A meal gathering before, during, or after a meeting is considered to be part of the meeting.
3. Purely social, recreational, or ceremonial occasions sponsored by or organized for the public body are to be open to the public. Members of the public body must be careful not to discuss business during these purely social occasions.
4. Passive meetings include social, recreational or ceremonial occasions to which a majority of the body has been invited, meetings of advisory committees created to advise a member of a policy body, or certain committees created by the initiative of a member of a policy body, the Mayor, or a department head.
5. An unlawful meeting may take place even if a majority of the members are not present in the same place at the same time. A fax or email to obtain the approval of a committee action is considered a “seriatum” meeting. This occurs when a majority of the members communicate outside of a public meeting through a series of communications.
6. A notice and agenda must be issued 72 hours before a regular or special meeting.
7. The agenda must include a meaningful description of each item of business, a designation as to whether an agenda item is an action or a discussion item, and a description of appended documents.
8. An item not listed on the agenda cannot be discussed at a meeting. However, commission/board members may respond to a public member’s statements or questions, ask clarification questions to determine whether a subsequent discussion is necessary, and may discuss a matter under limited emergency circumstances.
9. Fairly detailed minutes and tape recordings of meetings are required and are part of the permanent records of San Francisco Charter boards and commissions.
10. Closed sessions are permissible to address certain personnel matters, pending or threatened litigation, and real estate negotiations. Tape recordings of closed sessions must be kept at least ten years or permanently.
11. Each member of the public must be allowed to speak before or during the discussion of any item on the agenda for up to three minutes before action is taken on any item within the subject matter jurisdiction of the body, even if the item is not on the agenda.
12. Individuals giving public comment have a right to anonymity and must be given the same amount of time to speak. The policy body is not required to respond to public comment.
13. Willful failure of any elected official, department head, or other managerial City employee to discharge duties under the Sunshine Ordinance would constitute “official misconduct.”
14. In November 2004, San Francisco voters passed State Proposition 59, a constitutional amendment regarding public meetings and public records law. The measure elevated public access to meetings of government bodies and writings of government officials to a constitutional right.
Ms. Varah concluded her remarks; Trustees may contact her with any questions, 415-554-4670. Trustees were reminded to sign and return the Sunshine Ordinance Training Declaration Form, distributed at the meeting, to Megan Bourne, Executive Secretary to the Board of Trustees, for filing with the Ethics Commission. President Wilsey thanked Deputy City Attorney Varah for her presentation. There was no public comment.
D. Consideration and Possible Action to Accept the Report of 2011 Year-End Gifts of Works of Art – George Hecksher, Vice President for Collections and Chair of the Acquisitions Committee
Chair Hecksher, Vice President for Collections and Chair of the Acquisitions Committee of the Fine Arts Museums Foundation, reported that 110 artworks were received from 35 donors at the end of 2011. He expressed gratitude to the donors for their continued generosity and support of the Fine Arts Museums.
Chair Hecksher noted the following: a) Woman Reflecting, 2002, a painting by Terry St. John (American b. 1934) a gift of a Trustee and her husband; b) thirteen gifts of artist books to the Logan Collection; c) Untitled by Enrico Donati; d) three paintings by the artist Jess; e) an etching by the artist Jules Ferdinand Jacquemart, given in honor of John Buchanan; f) five 19th century Indonesian objects; g) seventeen textile objects; h) four pre-Colombian objects including the gift of a Funerary bundle of a deity on a throne in honor of recently retired FAMSF curator-in-charge of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, Kathleen Berrin; i) thirteen photographs by Arthur Tress; k) fifty-four gelatin silver prints by Anthony Enton Friedkin; l) sixty-five new works by the artist Ed Rushca; m) plaster sculpture Seated Girl II (Bather) by Manuel Neri; n) eleven photographs including works by Diane Arbus, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Irving Penn; o) gift of twelve works on paper including works by Anthony van Dyck and Honoré Daumier.
On motion, duly seconded, there was no discussion among Trustees. There was no public testimony. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to accept the Report of the 2011 Year-End Gifts of Works of Art attached as Appendix I of these minutes. The Board of Trustees recognized the continued generosity and support of the donors with sincere appreciation.
E. Consideration and Possible Action to Approve the Report of the January 11, 2012 Acquisitions Committee Meeting – George Hecksher, Vice President for Collections and Chair of the Acquisitions Committee
Chair Hecksher provided the following report of the January 11, 2012 meeting of the Acquisitions Committee of the Fine Arts Museums Foundation:
Purchases
Mr. Hecksher noted John Anster Fitzgerald’s Victorian-era painting of Fairies in a Bird’s Nest, ca. 1860; Carl Andre’s floor sculpture Voltaglyph 36, 1997, Beth Lipman’s contemporary composition in glass Candlesticks, Books, Flowers and Fruit, 2010, and three photographs by Emmet Gowin.
Chair Hecksher invited Chief Administrative Curator and Founding Curator of Photography, Julian Cox, to comment on Ansel Adams’ Gottardo Piazzoni in his Studio, 1932, which was on display at the meeting. Mr. Cox emphasized the particular importance and relevance of this photograph to the history of the Museums. Ansel Adams, a globally renowned San Francisco-born photographer, captured the Swiss-born artist Gottardo Piazzoni in the act of painting his iconic murals that are displayed in the Piazzoni Murals Room of the de Young Museum.
The murals were painted in the early 1930s as a commission for the San Francisco Public Library. The set of ten murals, five representing the land, and five representing the sea, were heavily conserved and then installed in the new de Young in 2005. In the photograph, Piazzoni is seen atop a ladder painting the middle panel of The Land set. The photograph was initially exhibited at the de Young Museum in 1932 as part of the first museum exhibition of Ansel Adams’ work in the United States. The Fine Arts Museums did not acquire the photograph at the time, as purchasing and collecting photographs was not common practice, but recently this rare print became available from a local Bay Area collector.
The seven artworks listed on purchases are listed on page 1 of Appendix II of these minutes were recommended for purchase approval.
Funded Purchases
The funded purchase of a Japanese utility bag (tool bag) from the early 20th century, noted on page 2 of Appendix II of these minutes, was reported for the record.
First Step Deaccessioning
One-hundred and twelve (112) works on paper were recommended for first step Deaccessioning. These objects, currently on long-term loan to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University), comprise a historical archive pertaining to World War I and its immediate aftermath. Chair Hecksher suggested in the future there will likely be a transfer of the objects to the Hoover Institution. The 112 works on paper listed on page 3 of Appendix II of these minutes were recommended to the Board of Trustees for first step deaccessioning.
Second Step Deaccessioning
Chair Hecksher discussed The Smelt Fishers, Cos Cob, 1896, by Frederick Childe Hassam (American 1859-1935), noting that this painting lacks stellar quality compared to the other two works by Hassam in the Museums’ collection. This painting, listed on page 4 of Appendix II of these minutes, was recommended to the Board of Trustees for second step deaccessioning.
The following resolution was then introduced:
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco does hereby approve the appended January 11, 2012 report of the Acquisitions Committee of the Fine Arts Museums Foundation, including approving the works of art acquired through purchase and donation as gifts to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco from the Fine Arts Museums Foundation, and approving first step and second step deaccessioning.
On motion, duly seconded there was no discussion among Trustees. There was no public testimony. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt the above resolution as Board Resolution 1728.
VI. Report of the Senior Administrative Committee – Michele Gutierrez, Chief Administrative Officer / Chief Financial Officer
