The resolution submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser requests the reprogramming of $1,440,000 in FY 2026 Capital Funds from the Department of General Services (DGS) to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for necessary improvements at the DMV's 95 M Street facility. The funds will be allocated to address urgent structural issues with the building's exterior facade, which has deteriorated significantly over time, posing safety risks to staff and the public. The reprogramming is deemed essential to ensure the safety and operational integrity of the DMV, which serves as a critical hub for public services and IT infrastructure.

The reprogramming will involve transferring funds from the Roof Replacement Pool project to a new capital project specifically for the DMV improvements. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer has reviewed the request and confirmed that it will not adversely impact the budgets of either agency or the District's financial plan. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the repairs, noting that delaying action could lead to increased safety hazards and higher repair costs in the future.
