The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman

John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the
District of Columbia Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, approved December 29, 2022 (P.L.
117-328), the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to
reprogram Fiscal Year 2023 Special Purpose Revenue funds budget authority in the amount of
$290,000 within the Office of the People’s Counsel (OPC). Budget authority is needed to support
office construction, language translations, education and outreach initiatives, computer upgrades,
office supplies, and IT hardware.
This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by Council.
However, another reprogramming from OPC has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the budget of OPC of more than $500,000.
This action will reprogram budget authority within the Agency Management and Office of the
People’s Counsel programs from Accounts 701100C (Continuing Full Time), 711100C (Supplies
and Materials), and 713100C (Other Services and Charges), to Accounts 703100C (Other Services
and Charges) and 717100C (Purchases Equipment and Machinery). Budget authority is available
because of projected salary lapse savings and the realignment of available resources to meet
revised spending plans.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that this reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on PSC’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.

SUBJECT: Reprogramming Request – Office of the People’s Counsel (DJ0) - FY23
DATE: June 8, 2023
Amount of the proposed reprogramming:
The Office of the People’s Counsel (DJ0) requests a reprogramming of $290,000.00
within the Special Purpose Revenue budget (Fund 1060127) in FY 2023.
Why are the funds needed?
The Office of the People’s Counsel requests a reprogramming of $290,000.00 within the
Special Purpose Revenue fund to align the budget with the revised spending plans for FY
2023. The reprogrammed funds will be used for: (1) remaining office renovations and
construction work after the agency relocated early this fiscal year; (2) cover costs of IT
hardware (laptops); (3) and to cover the costs relating to the purchase card items (office
support) through September 30, 2023.
Is this reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or
Council?
No.
Page 1
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
The funds will be reprogrammed from Account Groups 701100C (Continuing Full Time),
703100C (Other Services and Charges) to Account Groups 717100C (Purchases
Equipment and Machinery) and to Account Group 713100C (Other Services and
Charges) and 717100C (Purchases Equipment & Machinery).
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available due to salary lapse from approximately seven FTE positions that
have been vacant on and off during the first and second quarters of the fiscal year.
What hardships will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent
fiscal year?
If this reprogramming is not approved, the Office of the People’s Counsel will not be able
to cover the costs of items that have been critical in achieving the program goals and
objectives. As the agency has sufficient resources for the reprogramming, postponing
the actions to the subsequent fiscal year does not present a viable choice.
What programs, services, or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the
action and the impact on the program or agency?
Approval of this reprogramming will not adversely impact or delay any programs, services,
or purchases within the Office of the People’s Counsel’s FY 2023 budget.
If you have any questions, please contact me, Gurmeet Scoggins, at (202) 626-5133 or

Cluster, at (202) 442-9541
