2018 Manager's Recommended Budget

Mary had a little scam
As deep as drifting snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The scam was sure to go

Mary failed to recuse herself
Which was against the rule
It made the Ethics Board investigate
Individuals at the schools

And so the public tuned her out
But still she ruled with fear
We waited patiently
With hopes she’d disappear

The 2018 Mt. Lebanon Manager's Recommended Budget has been published. On page 51 of 92 pages of the pdf, the service level narrative for Outreach is:
Minimum Support (Current Level). Subsidy to provide the current range of counseling services to Mt. Lebanon clients at no charge for two sessions and reduced session costs for sessions 3-10. Provides for free parent consultations. Includes office and counseling staff with facility located within Mt. Lebanon. Provides for 1,045 hours of direct services.
The Outreach Program is operated by an independent nonprofit corporation. 
The service level cost remains the same at $104,040. This is a little misleading, however. The magazine provides free advertising via ads, social media, feature stories, and brochure mailings in the print mailings of the magazine.

Additionally, the manager is recommending $55,000 for deer "management." See pages 46-47, service levels 3 and 4.
