(note (web exclusive!): I don’t believe this fragment of text ended up in the final print edit.)

The ‘City of Los Angeles’ authority is the largest statutory authority in LA, however, within the radius of metropolitan Los Angeles there are also a number of smaller individual cities who are self-governing and set their own percent for art programs, one of these is Culver City, a district located a few miles from downtown LA. A number of years ago the council in Culver City, amended their percent for art ruling by permitting architecture in certain circumstances to be considered public art. They added a proviso that the artwork should be clearly distinguished from the building architecture and standard design features.
