AGENDA
I. Call to order (6:08 p.m.) - Jennifer Beccard
II. Appeal of Recommendation
The Board heard an appeal from Marta Farrell of the
Junior League of Fort Collins regarding the Board's decision to
not recommend Fort Fund support for the group's 17`" Annual Garden
Tour.
The reason that the Board did not recommend funded for
this event is because it was believed that the Junior League
donates proceeds from the event to other organizations. This is
in conflict with the Fort Fund Guidelines.
Ms. Farrell presented information to the Board (see
attached letters) in support of the Junior League's assertion that
it does not give proceeds to outside organizations.

Re: Draft of revised Museum Mission Statement
Following is a draft of the revised Fort Collins Museum Mission Statement, a product
of a planning retreat last October. The old statement is printed below for comparison.
Any comments the CRB members might have would be welcome and appreciated.
MISSION STATEMENT
"The Mission of the Fort Collins Museum is to engage and inspire our audiences to
explore the legacies of the peoples and environments of the Cache La Poudre River
Valley. The Fort Collins Museum is a dynamic institution that provides opportunities
to learn, reflect, and have fun."
The Museum is a non-profit (170, C-1) educational institution operated for the benefit
of the community, open to the public and fully accessible. In striving to attain its
mission, the Museum disseminates information and stimulates learning through
artifact collecting, exhibitions, publications, information services, tours, and special
programs that are appealing to all culturally diverse populations and age groups.
Former Mission Statement:
The purpose of the Fort Collins Museum will be to collect, preserve, conserve, study, exhibit, and
interpret those objects that serve to illustrate the story of man and nature in the Latimer County. The
Museum will collect artifacts and specimens that depict Latimer County's past in terms of natural
resources, exploration, settlement, agriculture, commerce, transportation, education, and cultural
achievement. The Museum will preserve such material and make it available to all those who wish to
see and study it.

V. ETHICS
The Fort Collins Museum recognizes and abides by the American Association of
Museums' Code of Ethics, which states in part:
"Loyalty to the mission of the Museum and to the public it serves is the essence
of museum work, whether volunteer or unpaid. Where conflict of interest
arise - actual, potential, or perceived - the duty of loyalty must never be
compromised No individual may use his or her position in a museum for
personal gain or to benefit another at the expense of the Museum, its mission,
its reputation, and the society it serves."
MAC members are expected to abide by the AAM code of ethics and those outlined
below:
A. Confidentiality:
1. MAC members shall not use any information received as a result of serving on
the MAC for personal advantage nor purposes detrimental to the Museum.
2. All information not intended to be publicly disclosed, regarding the
administration and activities of the Museum, acquired in the course of serving
on the MAC and not generally known or available to the public must be
considered proprietary to the institution.
B. Personal Collecting
1. No MAC member shall use his/her Museum affiliation to promote his own,
his family's or his associates' personal collecting activities.
2. Personal Collecting is deemed ethical as long as the MAC member doesn't
knowingly compete with the Museum for collectible objects or take advantage
of information proprietary to the Museum.
3. Should a conflict develop between the desires of the individual and the need of
the Museum, the need of the Museum shall prevail.
4. If a MAC member acquires an object that may appear to be in conflict with
their service on the MAC, the member shall disclose their acquisition at the
earliest opportunity to the MAC chair or Museum Director. The Museum
shall be offered the opportunity to purchase the object at the same price, an
action that must take place within 30 days of the disclosure.
5. MAC members may not deal in objects similar or related to those objects
collected by the Museum. Dealing is defined as buying and selling for profit as
distinguished from occasional selling or exchanging in the management of a
personal collection.
0

FORT COLLINS MUSEUM
FIRST ANNUAL RETREAT
OCTOBER 1998
SUMMARY
The Museum staff spent two days at Aspen Lodge to begin Long Range planning and
to build teamwork among the staff. Brenda Martin facilitated the planning process and
also led the staff through some teambuilding exercises.
The staff began envisioning the future of the Fort Collins Museum by drafting a
Vision Statement, reviewing the Mission Statement, and creating brainstorm lists of
what an ideal museum would include. Staff then began focusing on a vision of the
Fort Collins Museum in 10 years and identified the following areas as paramount:
1. Provide Quality Services, Products and Experiences
2. Be a Leader in the Community and in the Museum Profession
3. Capacity Building needed to achieve the above:
- Money
Community Support
Professional Staff
Facilities and Grounds
During the second day, staff began brainstorming possible goals for the next three
years that would help move the Fort Collins Museum towards the "Ten Year Ideal".
This proved to be a monumental task and staff was able to move through three focus
areas during the retreat:
- Management
- Finance
- Education & Exhibits
Since the retreat, the Museum staff has met to complete the last two focus areas:
- Collections
- Facilities
From these lists, we have been creating a plan of what could realistically be
accomplished in the next three to five years. Staff also generated their own
departmental goals and Scope of Work for 1999, all of which is being synthesized into
the plan.
The next step is to complete the draft of a Five-year Long Range Plan. We will also be
integrating opportunities into our staff meetings to review the plan regularly during
the year and plan to continue having an annual planning session in October.

ANNUAL REPORT - 1998
YEARLY HIGHLIGHTS
STATE OF THE ARTS: THE FUTURE OF THE ARTS IN FORT COLLINS
City Council asked the Board to initiate a process known as "State of the Arts: The
Future of the Arts in Fort Collins" to create a vision for determine the future of the arts in
Fort Collins. Jennifer Beccard, Loren Hooper, Corinne Govan and Bruce Hendee worked
with members of the community to formulate the agenda for the State of the Arts. An
initial community meeting was held on March 30 and was attended by more than 300
community members. A follow-up community meeting was held on June 29 at which time
committees were formed to work on various issues that were identified at the meeting of
March 30.
As a result of the work by the committees, a proposal was made to the City Council
to begin establishing a community arts organization known as Arts Alive.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS - BUILDING COMMUNITY CHOICES
Through the City's Building Community Choices initiative that was passed in April
of 1998, funding was created for the purchase of land for a new Cultural Arts facility.
Based on criteria developed with the Lincoln Center Board, the Board recommended to
City Council that the site for the future facility should be in the downtown area of Fort
Collins. The Board also recommended to City Council that it was not feasible to create a
joint facility with Colorado State University at the old Fort Collins High School site. The
City Council approved the recommendation of the Board and directed city staff members to
begin the process of selecting a potential site in the downtown area.
FORT COLLINS MUSEUM
The Board was involved in the selection of a new Museum Director. The Board
began the process of assisting the Museum with the creation of an Advisory Council.
FORT FUND:
The Board recommended funding in the amount of $59,800 to 38 organizations in
the first session and $71,176 to 33 organizations in the second session. City Council
approved both funding recommendations.
In November changes were made to the Guidelines and Application Forms for Fort
Fund. These revisions were approved by the City Manager and took effect Dec. 1, 1998.
The Board will re-evaluate these revisions in 1999 and make changes if necessary.

THE FORT COLLINS MUSEUM
in LINCOLN HERrrAGE PARK
A Vision
The Fort Collins Museum currently underserves the population of Fort Collins.
With more than 100,000 residents and 12,500 school children, the current 5,000 sq. feet
of public space is inadequate to host state-of-the-art exhibitions, increase school tours,
offer after school programming, workshops, lecture series, or meeting space. The
structure of the Museum inhibits growth. The Museum needs more usable public space.
As the Capitol Improvements projects outlined in 1996 begin to take shape, the
Fort Collins Museum would like to acquire the 201 Peterson Library building as part of
an overall Heritage Park. By expanding the Fort Collins Museum and bringing together
historical organizations, the complex will attract more visitors and expand the visitor's
time spent at the Museum. Currently, an average visitor spends approximately 45
minutes to 1'/2 hours in our facility. An expansion would include additional exhibitions,
higher quality traveling shows, increased programming and meeting space, an exciting
stand alone Museum Store, coffee cart area and a "rest -area" that would give people a
place to relax or re -group. An increase in children's activities, both organized and
informal, would attract more families to the site. Studies show that children who
regularly attend museums become museum -goers as adults and are more likely to bring
their children. Museum -going appears to be a habit, and it is that habit which the Fort
Collins Museum wants to foster by offering a valuable and complete experience to the
community.
This project would also bring together historical compliments into one setting offering
the community the opportunity to learn about their heritage through exhibits, programs,
documents, photographs, physical structures, etc. The Fort Collins Museum at Lincoln
Heritage Park would become a hub of historic activity for city residents, researchers, and
tourists.
LINCOLN HERITAGE PARK
The park name would be reverted to its original title, Lincoln Park with the addition of
Heritage to convey the historical nature of the park itself. This historic Lincoln Heritage
Park would be home to the Fort Collins Museum, The Local History Archive, Historic
Preservation, and local historical organizations. The complex would consist of the
Carnegie building, the 201 Peterson building and an expanded Courtyard. On street
parking would be available on all four sides of the park and off street parking at the
downtown parking garage, two blocks away.
THE FORT COLLINS MUSEUM
The 201 Peterson building would become the primary exhibition space for the Fort
Collins Museum. On the first floor, a central information desk would greet the visitor in
the foyer. To the right would be the Children's Wing including gathering space for
r]
group and school tours, a children's gallery, classrooms, and volunteer work space. To
the left of the information desk sits a large 3,000 sq. ft changing exhibits gallery. This
larger space will allow the Museum to bring in Nationally touring exhibitions and
exciting traveling shows.
The Museum shop would be placed near the front entrance of the building, having
window display space visible from outside. Shoppers would be welcome to enter the
shop without feeling obligated to visit the entire Museum during their stop. A coffee cart
and seating area would be incorporated near the shop and serve as a "rest -area" for
museum go-ers or as a nice downtown spot to grab a cup ofjava. The seating area would
expand outside onto the "Veranda" under the cover of the South overhang. What a
beautiful spot to linger while the kids are getting out of a workshop, to meet a friend for
coffee, or host a meeting or event.
The second floor of 201 Peterson would house the permanent galleries telling the story of
Fort Collins history through a theme of people and the environment. The open floor plan
would allow the exhibit to include built in gathering spaces, hands-on components,
computerized interactives, and in -gallery education kits as well as state-of-the-art
displays. The second floor will also include restrooms, and behind the scenes preparation
space.
THE COURTYARD:
The current Courtyard would be expanded to connect the two former library buildings
thus completing the complex. The current Courtyard is a visitor magnet, and an
expansion would not only be visually appealing and attract drivers by but would increase
green space between the buildings to accommodate outdoor programming, decorative
landscaping and heritage gardens. This space would be desirable as rental space for a
variety of activities such as weddings or family reunions. Expansion of the courtyard
would include a non -historic (but historic in appearance) multi -use building for meetings,
classes, programs, and "rain -out" cover. The expansion would also allow the Museum to
act on future acquisitions of historically important structures.
THE CARNEGIE BUH,DING
The Carnegie Building would house exhibit space, an auditorium, meeting spaces, and
Museum Administrative offices, and could perhaps accomodate the Local History
Archive, Historic Preservation Office,and a shared office space for local historical
organizations, such as the Fort Collins Historical Society or the Trolley association.
The Local History Archive currently housed in the 201 Peterson building could move
into the Carnegie building. Many of our residents remember the time when the Carnegie
was a library, and the "bringing home" of the Local History Archive would greatly please
our constituency. Certain selections of library books would also need to be located in
the Carnegie building to assist researchers.
The Overland Trail Room would become an auditorium that could accommodate up to
170 people for lectures or meetings. This room, like the Veranda and the Courtyard,
could also be a potential source of revenue while allowing the Museum to offer programs
of interest to the public, host meetings for organizations and offer space for other city
departments to have trainings or departmental meetings. With the Courtyard located
nearby, this would be an ideal spot for creative and stimulating exchanges!
Potential exhibit topics for the Carnegie Building include: the history of Carnegie
Libraries, a growing topic of interest in the history field; the history of Fort Collins
architecture to compliment Historic Preservation; historic photograph or document
displays from the Local History Archive; a comparison of the two former library
buildings as the proximity of the two offer a unique chance to discuss changing
architecture and growth; or an historic look at the old Pioneer Museum and Carnegie
Library.
It is also possible that the Carnegie Building could be used to partner with other
organization, such as the Night Walker Foundation or Front Range Community College,
to provide exhibit space.

Dear Sir or Madam
This letter is in response to your letter dated January 29, 1999. I would like to take this opportunity to
appeal that decision denying funding for the 17th Annual Junior League Garden Tour. The Junior League of
Fort Collins does not act as a clearing house remitting funds to other organizations or charities. The Junior
League of Fort Collins establishes projects that are with in our Mission, Vision and Iimpact statements.
Specifically the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. is an organization of women committed to
promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective
action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. The Junior
League of Fort Collins is dedicated to improving the quality of life in our community and creating a legacy of
trained volunteers. The Impact Statement reads as follows: All children, birth to age five, should have access
to quality supports that prepare them for social and academic success.
Our projects are chosen with the aforementioned in mind. The Junior League enters into partnerships
with the community. We do not make direct donations to other organizations and charities. We provide
trained volunteers and dollars to projects the Junior League establishes and runs.
Thank you for your reconsideration.
Sincerely,
Nancy Beers
