Committee backs $100,000 for traveling dental program
Summary
Committee approved a $100,000 appropriation for a traveling dental program (the 'Traveling Tooth Fairy') as a separate line in R-26-048 and recommended it advance to the full Board.
The Budget Review Committee voted to recommend $100,000 in funding for the traveling dental program often referred to in committee as the "Traveling Tooth Fairy." The item was taken individually after the committee split R-26-048 and passed by unanimous committee recommendation.
Members discussed the source of the funds and whether the line should remain within the bundled resolution or be considered separately; Alderman Johnson said she wanted gaming-funded items treated distinctly from general city funds so those programs would be assured of funding.
