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) capital budget. 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. A detailed justification memorandum supports this request, emphasizing the importance of the funds to avoid operational risks.
The Office of the Chief Financial Officer has reviewed the request and confirmed that the 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 action, allowing the agency to maintain its current operations without interruption. For further inquiries, individuals can contact Kenneth Dudley, the Program Manager for Real Estate and Property Management at DYRS.
