The proposed resolution disapproves reprogramming request No. 26-0070, which seeks to transfer $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 Council argues that the request lacks sufficient justification for the increased costs incurred by certain agencies and does not adequately explain the availability of a significant balance in debt service funds.
As a result, the Council has decided to reject the reprogramming request, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the intent of the District and federal anti-deficiency acts. The resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption, and a copy will be transmitted to the Mayor by the Secretary of the Council.
