DESCRIPTION: In 2003-2004 the Dublin City Council rated as a high priority goal:
"to refurbish exhibit space within the Murray Schoolhouse to provide a fresh setting that will optimally
highlight Dublin's History ".
Since completion of the restoration project "The Journey" which opened in August 2006, Staff has
focused its efforts on completing improvements to the classroom space adjacent to the exhibit. In the past
year the classroom has been re-painted (courtesy of the Cornerstone Fellowship Church), a professional
wall hanging system has been installed, and an archives storage cabinet has been installed against one
entire wall of the classroom.
As a way of enhancing the improvements made to the Murray Schoolhouse classroom, the Dublin
Historical Preservation Association has generously contributed much needed items for the classroom
including: twelve new chairs and an easel for classes; a CD player; a decorative artificial fireplace; a
vintage dress form; and two lamps. The total value for the items donated is $888.
RECOMMENDATION: As per Government Code Section 37354, it is recommended that all
gifts and contributions be formally accepted by the City Council. Therefore, Staff recommends that the
City Council accept the gifts and direct Staff to prepare a formal acknowledgement to the Dublin
Historical Preservation Association.
