Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $750,160.53 from the Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the Office of the Mayor to align the budget for FY 2026 with the revised spending plan for the Executive Office of the Mayor (EOM). This reallocation will support personnel services by transferring funds from the Volunteerism and Partnerships program to various accounts within the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs and Mayoral Support Services. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that it will not negatively impact the EOM's budget or the District's financial plan, emphasizing the necessity of this reprogramming to maintain effective operations within the Grants department.

The resolution details the budget allocations for different offices within the Mayor's administration, focusing on personnel services and fringe benefits. The Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs is allocated $256,836.22, while the Office of Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs receives $316,847.00 for personnel services and an additional $177,912.86 for fringe benefits. The Mayor's Office of Talent and Appointments is allocated $116,054.17 for miscellaneous fringe benefits. Overall, the total budget presented amounts to $11,720,968.34, reflecting a reduction of $2,502,964.64, resulting in a net budget of $9,218,003.70. This resolution underscores the administration's commitment to funding personnel services that support cultural and community representation.
