According to Wright, Balster had emailed stating the health department would need $600,000 to have a “sustainable” budget. “I want to again express my gratitude again to you for listening to our rationale, and our organizational process, and really what we are excited to do — and some of the challenges we’ve had in doing those things,” Balster added during the meeting.
