Contract No. DCRL-2019-C-0084 with the Hospital for Sick Children Pediatric Center Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to approve a contract with the Hospital for Sick Children Pediatric Center and authorize payments for its services. The bill specifically addresses contract modifications that increased the total funding amount to over $1 million, which requires Council approval under District of Columbia rules. By passing this measure, the Council ensures the center can continue receiving vital pediatric care without interruption. The resolution allows the contract to be processed immediately after a single reading rather than going through the standard legislative process.
