The resolution submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser requests the reprogramming of $14,999,984 in FY 2026 capital funds from the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). This reallocation is necessary to meet the local matching requirements for a federal grant awarded to DPR for the 11th Street Bridge Park project. The funds will initially be transferred to DPR to ensure compliance with financial reporting and auditing requirements, after which they will be transferred back to DDOT for the procurement and construction of the park.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not adversely impact the budgets of either agency or the District's financial plan. The reprogramming is essential for the timely execution of the project, as any delay could hinder its progress. The resolution outlines the financial details and justifications for the reprogramming, emphasizing the importance of accurately recording expenditures for federal reporting purposes.
