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. The request is backed by a detailed justification and has been reviewed by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, which confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the DYRS budget or the District's financial plan.

The resolution assures that the reprogramming will not delay any other projects, allowing current programs and services to continue without interruption. This highlights the urgency of completing the Backup Generator project to mitigate potential risks to the facility's operations. For further inquiries regarding the resolution, individuals can contact Kenneth Dudley, the Program Manager for Real Estate and Property Management at DYRS.
