2. State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote
social distancing
3. Legislative bodies declare the need to meet remotely due to present imminent
risks to the health or safety of attendees
On September 20, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 116-2021
stating that the City Council and Commissions will continue to meet remotely for at
least thirty days for the following reasons:
1. There is still a declared state of emergency
2. County Health Orders require that all individuals in public spaces maintain social
distancing and wear masks
3. The City can't maintain social distancing requirements for the public, staff,
Councilmembers, and Commissioners in their meeting spaces

II. Library Board of Trustees Minutes
The Trustees unanimously approved the minutes of the September 21,
2021 Trustee Meeting. M/S/C (Nagle/Ostrow)
III. Correspondence and Information
At Brad's request, the Trustees agreed to move directly to the Adult
Services report and than use the remainder meeting time for the
discussion of SVCF Funds Around Use Limitations.
IV. Report - Adult Services - Tommy McMahon
The Trustees requested further information on the following subjects.
A. Information Desk - Two staff members, one from Reference and one
from Circulation, work the desk together. Staff has been cross -trained
to assist patrons in both Circulation and Reference issues.
B. Collection Budget - No major change in the collection budget but there
was a natural reduction in spending because Baker and Taylor closed
during the early days of COVID and books were not available. Tommy
reallocated a portion of the book budget to the library's Overdrive
Advantage and purchased additional copies of the most popular items
which are only available to Burlingame residents.
C. Data Bases - Tommy represents the library on the PLS Info Services
Committee where negotiations take place for sharing the databases and
other resources. Brad and Tommy support being part of the PLS
consortium. The advantages are that the cost is shared and patrons
from all PLS libraries have access to most of the current databases.
V. From The Floor
No one from the public attended.
VI. SVCF Funds Around Use Limitations
Brad requested that the Trustees provide him with guidelines as to library
projects or library needs that he could ask the Trustees to fund.
• Brad noted that Foundation members had also inquired as to what
specific projects the Trustees fund. The Foundation funds library
programs, events, technology and furnishings. E-books were
formerly funded by the Foundation but e-books have now been
included in the City budget for the library. Burlingame's share of the
PLS budget for e-books is $45,000.
• The Trustees fund capital improvement projects through the Duncan
Trust which is managed by the SVCF. Other financial requests are
funded through the Library Trustees Account. Staff Development is
an area that the Trustees expressed interest in financially
supporting.
• In conclusion, the Trustees felt that it was not necessary to provide
guidelines for funding requests from Brad. The Trustees agreed that
in the past his requests had been well founded and benefited both
the library and the staff.
• The Trustees mentioned the possibility that it might help future
librarians if Brad documented his thought process for determining
funding requests (e.g. examples of requests that were funded, those
that were not and why the Trustees did not agree to fund the
request).
VII. Announcement
Elaine Tai, who joined the Adult Services Department in October of 2016,
has accepted a position as a Supervising Librarian with the City of
Berkeley. Elaine's last day will be November 4th.
VIII. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 7:OOPM M/S/C (Nagler/Ostrow).
The next Zoom meeting of the Library Board of Trustees will be
November 16, 2021 at 5:30PM.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
CITY OF BURLINGAME
July 23, 2007
SUBJECT: Art in Public Places
CATEGORY: Administration
PAGE: 2.18
I PURPOSE
Since public art is a cultural reflection of a community and its people, it is important that procedures
be in place for the acquisition and acceptance of art in the city of Burlingame. The purpose of this
policy is to serve as a guide when considering aspects of public art, such as:
A Selection and acceptance of donated or loaned artwork,
B Placement or site selection,
C Funding projected maintenance, and
D De -accessioning or removal of artwork
Changes to this Public Art Policy shall be directed, by Council, for review to a task force
comprised of two (2) Beautification Commissioners, two (2) Library Board members and two (2)
Parks & Recreation Commissioners.
II DEFINITIONS
Art as described in this policy is art intended to enrich the public environment for both residents and
visitors. Art shall include, but not be limited to, sculptures, murals, paintings, graphic arts, mosaics,
photography, crafts, mixed media, and environmental works. It shall include all artwork that is to be
displayed for an extended period of time in a City- owned or leased facility or park, or a City- owned
or leased open space.
In this policy, Appropriate Commission refers to the City Commission whose sphere of influence is
most closely associated with the facility or site in question. For example, the Parks & Recreation
Commission will review applications for placement at park facilities or recreational buildings; the
Library Board will review applications for placement at Library property; and the Beautification
Commission will review applications for other City property.
III SELECTION / ACCEPTANCE PROCESS
When reviewing works of art for loan or gift to the collection, the Council, appropriate commission,
and responsible department(s) shall consider whether:
A The artwork
1. is thought -provoking, memorable or enduring and shall reflect the diverse social,
cultural, or historic values of the City
Administrative Procedures 2.18 1 July 23, 2007
2. is appropriate in terms of scale, form, content, and the environment
3. is durable relative to theft, vandalism and the environment
Administrative Procedures 2.18 2 July 23, 2007
4. acknowledges and is sensitive to the importance of the contributions by local and
regional artists to the City of Burlingame's art program
5. can be displayed on City property under the Federal and State Constitutions
6. meets the City of Burlingame's general library collection standards for
appropriateness, and no depiction of specified sexual activities as defined in
Chapter 10.58 of the Burlingame Municipal Code nor any advocacy of racism nor
depiction of graphic violence shall be allowed.
B The City already owns sufficient examples or better examples of this type of object or
the objects by a particular artist in a particular style
C The City has the facilities and resources necessary to properly care for and safe keep
the object. The City has limited facilities and must consider the cost of processing,
insuring, and maintaining the new artwork.
D Whether the artist or donor is prepared to execute a contract or other document
which, in the estimation of the City Attorney and City Manager, protects and serves
the fiscal and other interests of the City in connection with the acquisition or
donation of the artwork proposed for display in a public area.
IV SITE SELECTION
When selecting sites for works of art for loan or gift to the collection, the Council, the appropriate
commission, and responsible department(s) shall consider:
A Whether the artwork can be properly installed, placed to be seen, and displayed with
patron safety in mind
B Compatibility of design and location within unified design character or historical
character of site, preservation and integration of natural features of the project
C Site design including landscaping, drainage, grading, lighting and seating
considerations
D Environmental impacts such as noise, sound and light
E Public accessibility to the artwork, particularly handicapped areas
F Impact on adjacent property owner's views
G Impact on operational functions of the City
After consideration of the above, final selection of site location is the decision of the City Council.
V FORM OF RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Applications to donate artwork to the City will be made to the City Manager's office and will be
routed to the Appropriate Commission. The Appropriate Commission will consider the staff s
recommendation or comments, the criteria above, including written documentation, and, after a 30-
day review period, will conduct a public hearing before making a recommendation to the City
Council. The notice of the proposed public art will be published in the local newspaper at least
fifteen (15) days before the end of the review period and will be delivered to property owners who
live within 300' and are in view of the artwork. The documentation of the proposed public art will
be available for review at the City Clerk's office during this period.
Administrative Procedures 2.18 3 July 23, 2007
Three members of the City Council must vote affirmatively in order to approve the decision.
The City Manager will notify donors of the City Council's decision. The notification, if the donation
is approved, will include a description of the location where the art will be placed.
The donation offer may be withdrawn at any time up until execution of an agreement between the
City and the donor(s).
VI MAINTENANCE OF ART IN PUBLIC PLACES:
The City Clerk shall maintain detailed records of all artworks acquired. The records shall include all
items outlined in the application attached to this policy.
The work of art will be maintained with the same care as the City does in keeping and maintaining
other similar City property. Upon receipt of the work of art pursuant to this policy, the City will be
responsible for insuring the work of art as it determines appropriate in its sole discretion; however,
nothing in this policy shall imply that the City has any obligation to purchase or obtain any insurance
regarding the work of art of any kind. Staff will take into account the donor's or artist's
recommendations for the appropriate method and frequency of maintenance for each work of art.
It shall be the responsibility of the City to:
A Provide for the regular inspection of public artworks
B Ensure that all maintenance of public artworks is completed with the highest
standards of professional conservation
C Report on the location and condition of each artwork to the City Council each year in
time for budget preparation, including recommendations for the restoration, repair, or
maintenance of artworks, and estimated costs
In the event repair, alteration, or refinishing of the artwork is required, the City shall first give the
artist the opportunity to do the work for a reasonable fee if possible. However, it is recognized that
the insurer of the artwork may require the repair, alteration, or refinishing to be done by the insurer's
contractors. In the event the artist is unable or refuses to do the work for such a fee, the City may
proceed to contract for the work with another qualified artist.
VII REMOVING (DEACCESSIONING) ARTWORK
Artwork may be removed from the City of Burlingame's art collection following review by the
Appropriate Commission if:
A The artwork's physical or structural condition poses a threat to public safety.
B The artwork requires excessive maintenance, has faulty design or workmanship, and
repair or remedy is impractical or unfeasible.
C The artwork has been damaged and repair or remedy is impractical or unfeasible.
D The condition or security of the artwork cannot be reasonably guaranteed.
E Significant changes in the use, character or design of the site have occurred which
affects the integrity of the artwork.
Administrative Procedures 2.18 4 July 23, 2007
F Significant, adverse public reaction has continued unabated over an extended period
of time
G Removal is requested by the artist or donor.
Removal should be a seldom -employed action that operates with a strong presumption against
removing works from the collection. Removal will be undertaken only in extreme circumstances,
and primarily when the condition of the artwork makes conservation impossible for technical or
financial reason.
Removal Procedures
Prior to removing artwork, the Appropriate Commission shall prepare a written report for each object
it recommends to be removed. The report shall include:
A Title, artist medium, dimensions, and present location of the artwork
B The origin/source of the artwork
C Slide(s) and/or photograph(s) of the artwork
D Report on the condition of the artwork
E Estimated value of the artwork
F Justification for disposal of the artwork
G Recommendation for method of disposal of the artwork
A copy of this report shall be distributed to each member of the Appropriate Commission for review
at least one month prior to the meeting at which the removal of the work will be considered. Each
member of the Appropriate Commission shall physically inspect the work and the Commission shall
conduct a public hearing before voting on whether or not to remove the artwork. Prior to the
Commission meeting, staff shall make a reasonable effort to locate the donor or his/her heirs to
advise them of the City's consideration to remove the artwork and reasons for the decision.
A report of the decision to remove the artwork will be given to the City Council. The decision of the
Appropriate Commission will be deemed final, unless called up by a member of the City Council for
Council approval. Disposition of artwork shall be handled in accordance with the requirements of
Civil Code sections 987 and following and City procedures for disposition of surplus property.
VIII ON -LOAN POLICIES
The City Council may wish to accept donated artwork to the City for display on a temporary
basis. Policies in addition to those listed in this document should be developed prior to the
acceptance of artwork on a temporary basis.
IX FUNDING FOR ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
The City of Burlingame shall establish a special reserve account designated as the Art in Public
Places Fund. This reserve account shall be credited annually, with funds allocated by the City
through the budgetary process and monies received through donations or grants or otherwise
obtained. The fund is to be maintained and administered by the City's Finance Director.
Administrative Procedures 2.18 5 July 23, 2007
This account shall be used for the maintenance of public art. Expenditures of funds may include, but
are not limited to, the following uses: costs associated with the transportation, installation, insurance,
maintenance, repair, or restoration of artwork, and any costs to administer the art in Public Places
program or purchase objects necessary for the proper presentation of the artwork.
If individuals, entities, or groups donate undesignated funds to the Art in Public Places Program, the
funds shall be deposited into the Art in Public Places Fund. The City Manager shall direct an
Appropriate Commission to designate the funds for either the maintenance or purchase of artwork.
X PUBLIC ART PROPOSAL
Any person wishing to donate artwork to the City of Burlingame must complete a Donation of Public
Art Application, available in the City Manager's office.
The application and accompanying materials shall include the following:

OVERVIEW
Lance Fung & John Talley, art patrons from Woodside, CA have offered to donate an important public artwork
by Art World icon, Robert Barry.
Fung & Talley are the owners of Fung Collaboratives & FC Projects. Both organizations advise, manage, realize
and consult global clients with their public art needs. In fact, they are coordinating the Anson Burlingame public
art tribute for the City of Burlingame and fell in love with the city and staff. As avid travelers for both work &
pleasure, it was during a flight from SFO, they saw the perfect site to install Barry's glorious text base work
realizing the global visitors coming through SFO would be delighted to see an artwork from the plane. This has
never been done before and so when a relationship was made with the city, the conversation of the gift began.
The artwork has significant historical value and Fung & Talley have been looking for the right situation to gift the
artwork to.
They look forward to working with the city to add a timeless artwork of beauty, thought provocation, and humor
for all residents, workers and travelers to experience. One important aspect about the artwork is that it can be
seen during the day by foot, car or plane and when the sun sets, the artwork emanates color and simply good
vibes. It will truly offer an ever changing sense of discovery to the viewers, as the artwork interacts with the
changing of day into night and the four seasons.
ARTWORK HISTORY
Lance was invited to curate a multi -year / multi -million dollar changing public art exhibition series in Atlantic
City (201 2-2015). In the first year, "Conceptual Art founding father" artist Robert Barry was invited to create
his largest outdoor public artwork to date. His 27 word installation encircled a newly designed 7.5 acre park
by Fung Collaboratives. The words rested on a manmade grassy berm at varied and skewed angels. In this
case, visitors were allowed to interact with the artwork which quickly became a hit in town and with the press.
Children and adults alike walked around the space multiple times to find a hidden meaning in the ambiguous
words. Many selfie pics were taken and all sorts of innocent word play followed.

This successful work was on view 24/7 for the four year period and could be seen from within the park as well
as from bird's eye views of adjacent hotels and office buildings. The words were even spotted by private planes
that flew by.
Qp�a
_ '1%
The artwork has received much acclaim but due to the sheer size of the overall installation it had to be broken
up into several installations.
Five works were sold and installed at 1440 Multiversity located in Scotts Valley, CA. Fung began their public
art collection which continues to delight their yoga and meditation followers.
Eight works were also installed at the Fung +Talley's residence in Woodside
The words below are available. The artist will probably not want to duplicate the color red.
ROBERT BARRY'S STATEMENT
This installation brings together light, space, and time. I like to take into consideration the
situation of the words and their place, mood, weather, and the fact that people have to walk
around to see the whole thing and physically partake in it. It becomes part of the
environment, and hopefully people will be able to interact in an individual and personal way.
My work is not isolated within galleries and museums but functions as part of an overall
situation, with these ideas extending out into the world.
PROCESS
John Talley will work with the designated city staff person to oversee the transition from its current storage area
to Burlingame. The work can be placed in storage or be installed directly. It can be illuminated now or in the
future. Solar options and costs are being explored. The city will provide transportation of the individual words
which requires a person on each end to lift the word. The simple installation may be done with city staff or
recommended art installer, Steve Dellicarpini ( ellicarpini(CDamail.com). The value for each word is $ 50,000.
Fung Collaboratives will work with artist Robert Barry to determine word placement on the city provided site.
ROBERT BARRY BIOGRAPHY, CV, SELECTED PRESS
Robert Barry
(b. 1936, Bronx, New York, USA)
• Barry was born and grew up in The Bronx. A graduate of Hunter College, he studied there under artists
William Baziotes and Robert Motherwell, later joining the college's faculty.
• Barry's work focuses on escaping the previously known physical limits of the art object in order to
express the unknown or unperceived. Consequently, Barry has explored a number of different avenues
toward defining the usually unseen space around objects, rather than producing the objects themselves.
• In 1974, Barry moved to Teaneck, NJ. He gave up painting, and began making art using invisible
media, including electromagnetic energy, ultrasonic radiation, and inert gases. He describes his art as
affecting other things as much as it is affected by those things. He also began incorporating text into his
artworks, aiming to make the viewer a part of his pieces.
• Major nonvisible works from his early period include Carrier Wave, in which Barry used the carrier
waves of a radio station for a prescribed length of time "not as a means of transmitting information, but
rather as an object," Radiation Piece, and Inert Gas Piece, in which Barry opened various containers of
inert gases in different settings before groups of spectators, such as a canister of helium released in a
desert.
• Barry is included in the permanent collections of renowned museums including the Museum of ModernArt,
New York; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Museum, New York; the Mus6e d'Orsay, Paris; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the
Mus6e National D'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Museum of Contemporary Art
(MOCA), Los Angeles and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D..C.

ART IN REVIEW; Robert Barry -

Gasser & Grunert
524 West 19th Street
Chelsea
Through May 19
This spare, beautifully installed exhibition presents classic works by a pioneer of 196o's
Conceptualism. Robert Barry's early works are visually minimal -- a few words printed in a catalog or
typed on a page with, in some cases, documentary photographs -- but mischievously paradoxical. One
piece, penciled in fine block letters on the wall, reads, "All the things I know but of which I am not at
the moment thinking --1:36 PM; June 15, 1969." Like a Zen koan, this might tease you into a
heightened awareness of the mystery of consciousness.
The show includes preconceptualist works like a small red square canvas placed in the exact center of
an otherwise blank wall and a piece of nearly invisible monofilament stretched the length of the
gallery. But such objects were too concrete for Mr. Barry; it was the mind he wanted to stretch.
For one series, he released measured quantities of gases like helium and xenon into the atmosphere.
Reading the texts documenting these actions, your mind leaps from the glass bottle to an idea of
endless expansion. For another piece he typed over and over, "Something which is near in space and
time, but not yet known to me." You could call this a kind of secular prayer.
A slyly provocative humor runs throughout Mr. Barry's work. "Interview piece" consists of a short
interview printed in a catalog for a 1969 exhibition (and displayed here in a vitrine). Asked if the piece
in fact exists, he replies at the end: "It does exist if you have any ideas about it, and that part is yours.
The rest you can only imagine." KEN JOHNSON
