On October 16, 2026, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the reprogramming of $5,485,264.90 in Fiscal Year 2026 Local Funds within the Department of General Services to address end-of-year spending pressures. This reallocation is aimed at supporting critical maintenance and emergency repairs at various District facilities, including DC Public Schools and the Marion Barry Building. The funds will be sourced from several divisions, such as Agency Management and Energy Centrally Managed, to ensure that essential operations are adequately funded and that facilities are prepared for extreme weather conditions.

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor's request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the Department of General Services' budget or the District's overall financial plan. The OCFO noted that the funds are available due to year-end reconciliations and savings from various budget categories. The resolution seeks to reallocate non-personnel services budget authority to cover projected expenditures in Facilities Operations and Water, requiring approval from the DC Council and the Office of Budget and Planning to maintain operational efficiency and fulfill the agency's financial commitments for the fiscal year 2026.
