He was <br /> interested to know what criteria PCS will be using to determine if Raices de <br /> Mexico can utilize their facility. He felt the PCS letter to Raices de Mexico <br /> implied their grant was in jeopardy. <br /> Mr. Pacheco said he did not intend to criticize PCS at the November Cultural <br /> Commission meeting but was rather responding to a question asked by the <br /> Commission. He stated Raices de Mexico made statements after their 1993 <br /> Fox Theater performance that they wanted to return to use the Fox. Mr. <br /> Pacheco said they did not know what they would do if they were denied use <br /> by PCS to use the facility for their 1995 event. He also felt that a member of <br /> the Cultural Commission should be present at the meeting with PCS. <br />
