The decision came during a discussion about conservation work on a 1804 John Marshall portrait titled \"Life of George Washington, commander in chief of the American forces.\" Chair Trumper reported that staff had spoken with Zukor and that Zukor's position was that, if the archival boxes were removed, \"she would prefer to simply return the works to us,\" which would forfeit encumbered funds and require restarting the contracting process. Trumper said she planned to call Zukor this week, or that staff member Annette Taylor would, to proceed with the contract \"as is.\"

Commissioners pressed for clarity on what they were buying. Trumper said the archival boxes Zukor would create are more than simple cardboard: they \"would be lined\" and \"labeled appropriately\" and intended as showcase-quality boxes to sit on a shelf. Commissioner Kent and others said they had no objection to proceeding but warned the commission to track future vendor selection closely and to calendar preservation work earlier in the fiscal year. Commissioner Beecher urged the commission to use the contracted conservator where appropriate because men with curatorial experience are scarce and the contractor already has experience with the collection.

Speakers also discussed the budget line that would pay for the work. One speaker said the preservation stipend under consideration was \"under $2,500,\" another called the available amount \"right around $2,000,\" and a separate remark referenced \"$252,500\" in a way that appeared inconsistent with the rest of the record. Commissioners acknowledged that the precise amount to be spent specifically on the archival boxes for this item was not specified in the meeting record and said staff should confirm schedule and cost details with the conservator before work begins.

No formal motion and roll-call vote were recorded on the floor to change the contract terms; the transcript shows commissioners agreed to proceed with the contract as previously authorized and to have staff follow up to confirm schedule and details.

The conservation discussion occurred under agenda item 8.a and commissioners said they would report back when they have confirmation of timing and the finalized scope of work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","McCune Collection Commission - October 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its Oct. 6 meeting the McKeown Collection Commission agreed to proceed with a conservation contract that includes creating archival boxes after conservator Karen Zukor said she would return works if those boxes were removed; commissioners said exact spending on the boxes was not specified in the record.","taxTitle","Vallejo, Solano County, California","taxId",5493,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":46,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5966643,"Commission launches work-plan drafting focused on cataloging, preservation and public access",656,2345000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5902424-bf5fc0eccfe02c6f543a4d0f93d3821e&start=1689&end=2345","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5902424-bf5fc0eccfe02c6f543a4d0f93d3821e/thumbnail_1689000.jpg","/articles/5966643/Vallejo/Solano-County/California/Commission-launches-work-plan-drafting-focused-on-cataloging-preservation-and-public-access","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5966643-f36f65dfc72419ccf47abef01c121d83/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135292&Signature=nEUaSsyYnQ-bppaguBBFTEe9OqruAOFkcfRjddZChPk7Eb9ceia9BEWKQ10kiT0DO8o77MEVlrOMjAb99hP8uRWDuucJb9drt8mX-cZ06Maxg90SBevE0zxSdcbwJ9ViJSOu1x4KCbqte-goRyxcv8PFIJTy-uTexLtLSTKGzSbUGBl18SWBpIjgLa70b0E-3xeBTLgxmXjg0sWqjKbCkdeCNLxB6djEvIlducSZupXBc3nOlIaMG3wT2rip7vqygjIRRNucwng9qFCC9YSvr8eLlJvxHFMYmyuVvCCUkVqnid5Thc~PvgsKQg8mcOxXj5IQzbASEIVyALT5hT7poQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners devoted a substantial portion of the Oct. 6 meeting to developing a work plan for the McKeown Collection, focusing on three priority areas: cataloging, preservation and public access.

Chair Trumper and point people reported on a worksheet-style template drafted by Commissioners Beecher and Kent as a starting point for brainstorming. Commissioners said the worksheet lists objectives, feasibility, resources needed, challenges and status and is intended as an internal instrument to convert ideas into concrete steps.

Commissioners identified point people and interim leads: Henry and Zachary for public access; Joel and Jim for cataloging; and the chair asked Commissioner Vince to consider co-leading preservation. Zachary (staff) offered to expand public access hours and commissioners encouraged adding that to the worksheet. Several speakers argued cataloging should be the first implementation priority because other work areas depend on knowing what is in the collection.

Commissioners discussed preservation planning that would include an assessment of the collection's current state, professional preservation input to identify items needing restoration, ongoing monitoring and budgeting for future years. The commission set a timeline to prioritize drafting work-plan content and aimed to arrive at a near-draft by the December meeting. The next regular meeting was set for Dec. 1.

No formal vote on the work plan occurred; commissioners agreed to continue brainstorming via point people and for the chair to consult point people between meetings.","The commission assigned point people and discussed prioritizing cataloging first, with preservation and public access to follow; members aim to have a near-draft plan by the December meeting and will continue inter-meeting coordination.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5966640,"Commission reviews docent-led programs and upcoming exhibits; approves agenda and minutes 4-0",0,879000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5902424-bf5fc0eccfe02c6f543a4d0f93d3821e&start=879&end=879","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5902424-bf5fc0eccfe02c6f543a4d0f93d3821e/thumbnail_879000.jpg","/articles/5966640/Vallejo/Solano-County/California/Commission-reviews-docent-led-programs-and-upcoming-exhibits-approves-agenda-and-minutes-4-0","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5966640-c14b83beb108f6c1b603da4df117a9ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135292&Signature=LYaunjtdmIRVhWwkZhX48c6VvlZpq6L~Zwl2GhSSIOcxaqcdsQTN~Daj6ZAOVOb69zOjmxJcZ~nrkbBB~Z1YMTmIQ2FkNSSWOIyAWiqZp2J9zZY7EgY-YdZy8rk5Tyv4jLhEYWnbnlJCcddNxgYX4~D0vPgwc80iDuNEURkGGWYrj4s5rAYAOUPg1sXTLS3B7PmMmgNVz653I8CMCGclP2caSFPnAiUV1R6pXkQaf8vMitMjjiutCDqcPi5Sc0H4W0rz33VM9TX8y-Kl5wTWL6bS4flPYt~ihuRVO3HOwbyYn8daqjCEPEjbD648XKxKFcJ4jEh1oxgsdOrSjsFmAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Oct. 6 meeting the McKeown Collection Commission received an update on docent participation and upcoming exhibitions and took two procedural votes.

Commissioner Beecher reported that an exhibit titled \"Riverbank,\" co-curated by Arc Solano and Gavin Piedra, will be on view and that a public walk tied to the exhibit is scheduled for the coming Friday; the exhibit includes work by more than 20 artists in two-dimensional and small sculptural forms. Beecher said the local Vallejo Gem Society expressed particular interest because of jade on display. Commissioners also heard that a November exhibit by local artist Gilbert Johnson is scheduled; Johnson had not yet provided a title for the show.

Staff and commissioners clarified Brown Act guidance for attendance at public events. As one speaker summarized, commissioners may attend public events together so long as they do not \"discuss items that are under consideration by the commission\" while at the event; commissioners said this keeps the attendance from violating the Brown Act.

On procedural business the commission approved the Oct. 6 agenda and the Sept. 17, 2025 special-meeting minutes by roll call votes of 4 to 0. The roll-call in both cases recorded Chair Trumper, Commissioner Tahima, Commissioner Beecher and Commissioner Kent as voting \"Aye.\" The meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.; the commission set its next meeting for Dec. 1.
