Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $750,160.53 in Fiscal Year 2026 Local Funds within the Office of the Mayor to better align the budget with the revised spending plan for the Executive Office of the Mayor (EOM). This reallocation is aimed at supporting personnel services in response to shifting priorities within the Mayor's Office of Community Partnerships. The funds will be transferred from the Volunteerism and Partnerships program to various personnel services accounts, ensuring the continued effective operation of the Grants department. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the EOM's budget or the District's financial plan.

The resolution details budget allocations for various offices within the Mayor's administration, focusing on personnel services and fringe benefits. The Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs will receive $256,836.22, while the Office of Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs is allocated $316,847.00 for personnel services and $177,912.86 for fringe benefits. The Mayor's Office of Talent and Appointments will also receive $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 aims to strategically allocate resources to support cultural affairs and community representation while adhering to budgetary constraints.
