MEETING DATE: July 8, 2010
SUBJECT: Oral History Program Criteria

RECOMMENDATION: Receive report and approve Program Criteria
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION: One of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Goals & Objectives adopted by
the City Council was to: Establish an Oral History Program. Over the past year, an Oral History
Program Steering Committee was established comprised of Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission
members Georgean Vonheeder-Leopold, Steve Minniear and Connie Mack. The Committee has met
throughout the year and completed the project goals including; working with a consultant to establish
program practices, developing a training manual, completing workshop trainings for ten volunteers,
conducting and transcribing four interviews and working with Tri-Valley Community Television to
develop a training video and public outreach video. With all of the goals completed, the project can now
become an ongoing program.
The Committee has recommended the attached Program Criteria which will provide guidance to City
Staff to carry out the Oral History Program. In addition, the Committee is recommending that a service
be provided, for a fee, for those who wish to have an oral history conducted for their own private use that
is not part of the on-going program. The Commission is being asked to give conceptual approval for the
fees listed. These fees and additional heritage and cultural arts program fees will be presented to the
Commission at the August 12, 2010 meeting, as part of the Amendment to the Fee Resolution.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission
receive the report and approve the Oral History Program criteria.
