The proposed resolution disapproves reprogramming request No. 26-0070, which seeks to allocate $90,222,148.73 in FY 2025 Local Funds from various agencies to the Metropolitan Police Department and several other departments, including the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice, Homeland Security and Emergency Management, and the Department of Public Works, among others. The resolution cites concerns regarding the lack of adequate explanations for the higher-than-anticipated costs incurred by certain agencies and the availability of a significant balance in the Repayment of Loans and Interest fund, which raises questions about the necessity of the reprogramming.

The Council emphasizes that the reprogramming request does not sufficiently justify the need for reallocating funds, particularly in light of potential deficiencies that could have been avoided. As a result, the Council has decided to disapprove the reprogramming request, and the resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to the Mayor by the Secretary of the Council.
