PR 26-0763: Prearrest Diversion Task Force Recommendations Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This resolution declares an emergency to update deadlines for the Prearrest Diversion Task Force and amend probate publication rules. It extends the deadline for the Task Force to issue its initial recommendations on diverting certain misdemeanor cases from July 2025 to July 2026 due to staffing delays. Additionally, it changes the law to allow legal notices in general newspapers instead of only legal periodicals, which helps ensure residents and creditors receive timely information about estate proceedings. These changes aim to fix implementation issues caused by unclear language and staffing constraints while maintaining the original goals of the legislation.

PR 26-0767: Contract No. DCKA-2026-C-0901 with Strittmatter Metro, LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This bill authorizes the payment of $3.2 million to Strittmatter Metro, LLC for emergency snow removal services provided in Washington, D.C., during a severe winter storm in early 2026. The legislation formally approves the contract and its subsequent modifications, which were executed quickly to address an immediate public safety need when standard procurement processes would have been too slow.
