III. NEW BUSINESS
A. Heritage Museum Mission Statement — Jeri Gulbransen
Jeri Gulbransen advised that, with the help of the Grant Development Manager Cathy
Burciaga, an application for a federal grant was being submitted for the Heritage
Museum. She went on to say that during the application process it was noted that a
Mission Statement was needed for the Heritage Museum. Trustees were asked to
approve the following statement:
Chula Vista Heritage Museum
Statement of Purpose/Mission Statement
"The mission of the Chula Vista Heritage Museum is to collect and preserve artifacts
that interpret the history and cultural heritage of Chula Vista and the South San Diego
Bay region. We accomplish this through research, exhibits and programming."
A brief discussion ensued regarding the grant — the request would be for $50,000.00,
a resident survey to include the entire Chula Vista community would be proposed to
find the type of museum the community was willing to support, and the possibility of
hiring a consultant was brought to the Trustee's attention. Trustees asked a letter of
support should accompany the grant and were told that would be a good idea.
A Motion to endorse the Statement of Purpose/Mission Statement for the Chula Vista
Heritage Museum as stated was made (Pasqua/Valerio). Motion was carried.
Chairman Hartman was instructed by Trustees to sign a letter of support for the grant.
Due to the time constraints for submission of the grant, Chairman Hartman requested
the Board Secretary sign the letter of support in his absence.
