But Burlington Councittor Jack Dennison and the rest of the com- mittee disagreed, amending the motion to inctude funding the organization. "Me whote community supports this project. This is the epitome of a community project that deserves funding," he said. Regionat counicit has yet to address the policy framework or individuat grant requests.
