Mr. Varela of Raices de Mexico said they could do two <br /> shows, but the matinee would not feature live musicians and would use <br /> taped music instead. <br /> Motion passed. <br /> Chairperson Filippi suggested the Cultural Commission evaluate the $15,000 <br /> Fox funding program and consider the entire budget for next year. This <br /> matter will be placed on the January agenda. <br />
