This ordinance would move $6,000 within the 44th Ward office budget for 2026, from its wage allowance account to its aldermanic expense account.

**Who it affects**

- **44th Ward alderman's office**: The office would have $6,000 less for wages and $6,000 more to pay its aldermanic expenses in 2026.
- **44th Ward residents**: Their ward office's budget would be rearranged, but the text does not name any new service or cost for residents.

**What changes**

- The City Comptroller would shift $6,000 between two 44th Ward office accounts for 2026.
- Less money would be set aside for the 44th Ward office's wages.
- More money would be available for the 44th Ward office's aldermanic expenses.
- The total amount of city money would not change, because this is only a transfer.

**Money**

- $6,000 moved out of the 44th Ward Wage Allowance account (Fund 0100, 015/2344, Account 0017)
- $6,000 moved into the 44th Ward Aldermanic Expense account (Fund 0100, 015/2344, Account 9008) to pay that account's needed obligations

**Where**: 44th Ward

**When**: 10 days after it is passed and published
