Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $1,000,000 in FY 2025 Capital Funds from the Department of General Services (DGS) to the Department of Corrections (DOC) to support the Elevator Upgrade Project at the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF). This reallocation is necessary to ensure the operational status of the elevators, as non-operational elevators pose significant safety and operational risks. The funds will be transferred from the Emergency Power System Upgrades project, which has sufficient resources to accommodate this change without negatively impacting its objectives. The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that it will not adversely affect the budgets of either DGS or DOC, nor the District's overall financial plan.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of effectively managing capital resources within the District of Columbia's budget framework to ensure essential services and facilities are adequately funded. It includes a detailed financial report that outlines various budgetary allocations, commitments, and balances across multiple accounts, reflecting a strategic approach to budget adjustments. The report highlights the need for maintaining accurate financial records and transparency, which are crucial for effective budget management and accountability within the legislative framework.
