FROM: Sara M. Hoffman, Deputy County Administrator a'
DATE: October 4, 1988
SUBJECT: Sacramento Capitol Exhibit
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Establish an ad hoc Sacramento Exhibit Committee charged with developing a new display case,
including funding and authorize the Chairman of the Board to sign a letter inviting participation by
the Contra Costa Council and Retired Teachers Associations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of a new exhibit would be $3000 to $5000. As proposed, the Exhibit Committee would
be responsible for raising funds necessary to design, fabricate and install the exhibit.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Contra Costa County exhibit in Sacramento is over ten years old. Many have commented that
it is not a worthy representation of Contra Costa to the hundreds of thousands of visitors to
Sacramento each year.
Several months ago the Contra Costa Retired Teachers Association volunteered to work with the
County on renewing the exhibit. The County Administrator's office has since met with them and
the Contra Costa Council to discuss the issue. All agree that the exhibit needs to be replaced. The
Council is receptive to sponsoring a fund raising effort for the exhibit; while the Retired Teachers
Association are willing to give of their time and energy.

Sacramento Capitol Exhibit
October 4, 1988

The Board of Supervisors controls the Sacramento Exhibit. Therefore, any further action is
dependent upon the Board's authorization and direction. It is proposed that the current committee
be officially established and include representatives from the Contra Costa Council, the Retired
Teachers Association, County Administrator's office and each of the Board members. The
committee would be responsible for fund raising as well as working with a designer on the exhibit
itself. It is proposed that the exhibit focus on Contra Costa County as a county of contrast or
comparison of today and the past. The Committee could give progress reports as appropriate to the
Board of Supervisors.
As a first step in progress, a letter from the Board of Supervisors to the Council and Association
would be an appropriate vehicle to officially request their assistance in this worthwhile project.
