Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing. Speaking from the public were Pearl Munak,
President of Transition Food and Shelter, who expressed concern that their application had not
been considered for funding; and Sara Rudd-Lawlor, Program Director of Big Brothers Big

regarding proposed reductions in the Public Services category and that the proposed funding
was less than the 15% cap. Following discussion, staff advised the Council that it could reduce

lower priority, in order to fund public service allocations up to the 15% cap of$9,540.

allocate $2,200 to CAPSLO's Senior Health Screening program and $340 to Big Brothers Big
