The resolution proposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks to reprogram $281,764.30 in FY 2025 Capital Funds from the Department of General Services (DGS) to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). This funding is specifically earmarked for the replacement of HVAC rooftop units at the DC Metropolitan Police Academy, which is crucial for maintaining proper temperature control within the facility. The request adheres to the D.C. Official Code and includes a justification for the necessity of these funds. The Chief Financial Officer has confirmed that this reallocation will not negatively impact the budgets of either DGS or MPD, nor will it affect the District's overall financial plan.

The reprogramming is compliant with the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980 and falls below the $500,000 threshold that would require Council approval. The funds are available due to the DGS Critical Systems Replacement project, which addresses unforeseen mechanical system replacements throughout the fiscal year. This timely reallocation is essential to ensure that the MPD Academy receives the necessary HVAC upgrades, thereby preventing potential operational disruptions and supporting the ongoing infrastructure needs of the police department.
