Following the Mayor's presentation, Councilor Pauline Korme, the clerk of finance, was invited to provide any comments or questions. Both she and Councilor Tassi indicated they had no inquiries at that time. The Mayor then opened the floor to public comments regarding the budget proposal, specifically referencing C-81.
