To our nation's hardworking librarians
You share words with the world, and as we close out National Library Week, I want to
share two words with you: Thank you.
In my childhood, I struggled with undiagnosed dyslexia. Books and words weren't just
difficult to read — they felt entirely out of reach. Without them, my world was far
smaller than it could have been: I avoided classrooms and libraries for reasons I couldn't
fully understand or articulate. But as I grew, my world did too. Through support, advice,
and mentorship from specialists, educators, and librarians too numerous to list, I didn't
just fall in love with words... my life started revolving around them. Because people —
people like you — took the time to care about me, to show me the power of words and
the power of books, I was able to find my footing in business, service, and eventually,
elected office. I am in your debt.
You helped get me here. And my story isn't unique. Librarians change lives every day.
Your impact goes far beyond book recommendations (although, you have recommended
many great books over the years). You help us start new chapters at every stage of our
lives, showing us the magic of reading as children, and teaching us new skills in our
golden years. You are the heart of our communities, providing a way out and a way up
for those unsure of where they're going including those who are unhoused,
unemployed, or simply looking for a new path.
You guard the sanctity of our pasts, good and bad, as you shepherd the possibilities of our
tomorrows.
And yet, despite your indispensable contributions or perhaps because of them you
have become the target of unjust attacks across the nation. Idealogues and demagogues
are attacking you for championing diversity, inclusion, and equity — for making sure our
children and all people belong. You are facing censorship, battling record numbers of
book bans and challenges, as you defend free access to literary works, especially those
written by authors who are often targeted: LGBTQ+ writers, writers of color, and those
daring to challenge the status quo.
It is more important than ever that we have your back and that we ensure and expand
access to public libraries and defend your essential role in preserving freedom. We must
refuse to dabble in the zealotry of whitewashing literature and banning books. And in
California, we are. Together, we've accomplished some incredible things: investing
hundreds of millions to equitably improve and modernize your workplaces; working to
preserve and share our historically and culturally significant materials by investing in
library digitization; renovating and enhancing the Jewish Family and Children's Services
Holocaust Center Library and Archives building; expanding and diversifying our library
resources to promote health and wellness and reflect our multilingual and multicultural
communities; and beyond. We've even worked with Dolly Parton to establish a Statewide
Imagination Library.
In California, we know libraries hold more than books so much more. Libraries, and
librarians, stand at the crossroads of opportunity and information, acting as gateways to
online job training and educational upskilling programs; to state parks by enabling people
to check out a parks pass, regardless of income; and to food through free lunch programs.
And above all else, our library walls hold the most valuable treasure: you.
So, I will continue to stand up for you — and stand up to those that get in your way.
California has your back, because you've always had ours. You've always had mine.
I know from my own challenges with dyslexia that when we help people read, we help
them succeed. You do that every day. The value of a librarian is inestimable — you go
beyond books, and even beyond knowledge. You open the doors to possibility. To
opportunity, imagination, and the pursuit of freedom. I've experienced it firsthand.
This National Library Week, and always, thank you.
In gratitude,
Gavin Newsom
Governor of California

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:
