Councillors Dell Isola, Cardillo, Hanlon, Smith, Matewsky and Marchese voted yes, while Costa, Martins and Lattanzi voted no. Youth Initiative Council member Thalia Patino said Monday that she feels frustrated due to all the hard work they’ve put in and how prolonged the situation is. “I would have loved to have been invited up there to speak and clarify questions councillors like Hanlon, Smith and Dell Isola presented to the group, because I had the answers they were looking for,” Patino said. “Unfortunately, I was shut down and the imprudent assumptions overruled my goal for tonight, which was to finally have them vote to appropriate the $1 million that we’ve been asking for since November to fund youth projects.” Now, the process has been extended once again, and the decision has passed to the Ways and Means Committee, according to Patino. The American Rescue Plan (ARPA) provides emergency grants, lending, and investment to small businesses recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
