Mayor Muriel Bowser has submitted a request to the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $3,300,000 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the Department of Public Works (DPW). This reprogramming is necessary to cover personnel services costs associated with the citywide Memorandum of Understanding for Fleet Services. The funds will be reallocated from the Agency Management and Fleet Management divisions to the Fleet Management division to address a deficit in the personnel budget. The request is supported by a detailed justification memorandum outlining the need for these funds, which are available due to lower-than-anticipated expenditures in other areas such as fuel and automotive maintenance.

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor's request and found that the reprogramming will not adversely impact the DPW's budget or the District's financial plan. The OCFO has no objections to the reprogramming, indicating that it is a necessary action to ensure the Fleet Management Administration can meet its personnel service obligations without facing a deficit by the end of the fiscal year. The reprogramming is expected to be a straightforward adjustment that will not establish new programs or alter previously approved budget allocations.
