Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $900,000 in FY 2025 Capital Funds from the Health and Programming Upgrades project to the Backup Generator project within the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS). This reallocation is essential to fully fund the Backup Generator project, which is crucial for ensuring reliable emergency power at the DYRS holding facility during outages. The request is backed by a detailed justification memorandum, and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer has confirmed that this reprogramming will not negatively impact the DYRS budget or the District's financial plan.

The resolution assures that there will be no delays to any programs, services, or purchases as a result of this reprogramming, indicating that the DYRS will continue to operate without interruption. The prioritization of the Backup Generator project is deemed necessary to mitigate potential operational risks at the facility. For further inquiries, individuals can contact Kenneth Dudley, the Program Manager for Real Estate and Property Management at DYRS, for additional details or clarification.
