The resolution submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser requests the reprogramming of $9,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2026 Local Funds within the Department of Public Works (DPW) to support the Fleet Management Administration's daily operations. This reprogramming is necessary to cover costs associated with purchase orders, vendor payments, and fleet charges essential for the agency's functioning. The funds will be reallocated from the Fleet Management Administration's personnel budget to the Agency Management division to ensure uninterrupted business operations.
The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the Mayor's request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not adversely impact the DPW's budget or the District's financial plan. The funds are available due to revised spending plans, and the reprogramming is essential for the Fleet Management Administration to continue its operations without delays. The resolution emphasizes that this action does not establish new programs or change allocations previously set by the Council, and it is critical to avoid any operational hardships for the agency.
