Ms. Elizabeth Torres was re -appointed to the Art Committee in October to a short-
term ending September 2014. She desires to be reappointed to a full -term.
The more critical issue with the Art Committee has been attendance. One member
has been absent the last 5 meetings and another member for the last 4 meetings.
The absences have put the remaining committee members in a difficult position
and impacted their ability to carry out their responsibilities.
