Following f urther discussion , Mayor Pro Tem Leslie Altamirano moved to allocate $150,000 to Path of Life Ministries and $20,000 to Family Services Association (FSA), with the added motion that staff look into the funding that FSA is currently receiving and to make the other applicants aware of the other grant funding that is available, seconded by Council Member Lorena Barajas Bisbee.
