PublicArtCommission | 2005-11-30 | 5 | A revised list of Art Organizations was given to the PAC for review. The revised list contains art organizations throughout California. In comparison, the revised list saves $170.00 in postage per mailing. C Huston expressed a concern that a letter sent to some of the included organizations would be a letter lost.
