By the end of 1989, the orchestra had removed all mention of Clark, the orchestra's creator and its music director for its first decade, from its official literature. Through the 2012-13 season, there was no recognition on the Pacific Symphony's webpage of Clark's tenure as the orchestra's founder and Music Director. This was partially changed at the beginning of the 2013-14 season, with the orchestra giving credit to "a collaboration between California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), and North Orange County community leaders led by Marcy Mulville" as founding the orchestra, before mentioning Clark as its first conductor.
