Package 23,693 recommends a $215,315 General Fund reduction to BPS Internal Services by cutting external materials and services (contracts, supplies, training, sponsorships). The reduction is offset by increased overhead revenue from PCEF and Solid Waste Management Fund, preserving current service levels. Only ~1/3 of BPS internal operations is General Fund–funded.
