At least once every four years, the council shall critically review every program supported wholly or partially by county funds, and unless the council shall favorably authorize its continuation at current or modified levels, the program shall be terminated.

ORIGINAL MOTION: "Once every four years, the council shall critically review every program supported by county funds and unless the council shall favorably authorize its continuation at current or modified levels, the program shall be terminated. The council shall adopt procedures and details." In support of this motion, the maker emphasized that it was his intent to have every program funded by the County be reviewed every 4 years.
