Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $3,300,000 in FY 2025 Capital Funds from the Department of Corrections (DOC) to the Department of General Services (DGS) for the installation of a new generator at the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF). The funds were initially designated for emergency power system upgrades but need to be redirected due to a misalignment in project descriptions. This reallocation is crucial for the timely completion of the generator installation, which is vital for the operational functionality of the DOC campus.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact the budgets of either the DOC or DGS. The funds will be shifted from the emergency power system upgrades to the general renovation project for the CTF, ensuring that the generator project proceeds without delays. This adjustment is part of a broader capital initiative for the DOC, and the total capital budget will remain unchanged at $13,455,580.26, optimizing resource distribution for essential upgrades within the department.
