Cherry Blossom Festival Grant Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to fix a mistake in the 2025 budget that incorrectly listed only $1 million for a grant to the National Cherry Blossom Festival. It authorizes the transfer of the full $1.5 million originally approved for the festival to the Events DC organization, which will then award the funds. The measure allows this budget correction to be passed quickly without a full committee review because the error was discovered after the budget was finalized.
