The county council, prior to the expenditure of any funds, shall schedule and hold a public hearing thereon, and may thereafter authorize the expenditure of public funds for the financial support of such organization. The public hearing shall be for the purpose of taking testimony as to the public purpose of such funding, the matters contained in section 23B-2, the stability of the applicant organization and such other matters deemed pertinent by the county council. The county council may amend the recommendation of the county executive or his designee as it deems appropriate and may require reimbursement from such organization if other funding for the same purpose becomes available.
