Dear Mr. Lee:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, (D.C. Official Code § 47-363 et seq.), I am
submitting a request to reprogram FY 2023 Special Purpose Revenue funds in the amount of
$5,500.00, for vehicle maintenance and fuel (DPW) that are projected to exceed initially budgeted
amounts in the FY 2023 budget. In addition, a reprogramming of $50,000.00 will ensure that the
agency has sufficient funds to cover all obligations and expenditures relating to travel & training,
and professional services through September 30, 2023.
Sincerely,
Muriel Bowser

The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
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
$55,500 within the Office of the People’s Counsel (OPC). Budget authority is needed to support,
travel, training, professional services, and vehicle fuel and maintenance costs.
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 Account Groups 703100C (Other Services and Charges) and
713100C (Other Services and Charges) to Account Group 712100C (Energy Comm & Building
Rentals). Budget authority is available due to less-than-anticipated expenditures relating to
Maintenance and Repairs.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2023 Reprogramming Request for $55,500 of Special Purpose Revenue Funds Budget Authority within the Office

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

SUBJECT: 6SHFLDO3XUSRVH5HYHQXH5eprogramming Request – Office of the People’s
Counsel (DJ0) - FY23
DATE: September 21, 2023
Amount of the proposed reprogramming:
The Office of the People’s Counsel (DJ0) requests a reprogramming of $55,500.00 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 $55,500.00 within the
Special Purpose Revenue fund to align the budget with projected expenditures through
September 30, 2023. The reprogrammed funds will cover interagency costs, in the
amount of $5,500.00, for vehicle maintenance and fuel (DPW) that are projected to
exceed initially budgeted amounts in the FY 2023 budget. In addition, a reprogramming
of $50,000.00 will ensure that the agency has sufficient funds to cover all obligations and
expenditures relating to travel & training, and professional services through September
30, 2023.
Is this reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or
Council?
Page 1
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
A total of $50,000 will be reprogrammed within Account Group 713100C (Other Services
and Charges) and the remaining $5,500 from Account Group 703100C (Other Services
and Charges) to Account Group 712100C (Energy Comm & Building Rentals).
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available due to less than anticipated expenditures relating to the
Maintenance and Repairs - Machinery budget line in FY 2023.
What hardships will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent
fiscal year?
If this reprogramming is not approved, the agency will not be able to cover the costs
associated with Auto Fuel, Auto Maintenance & Repairs, Professional Services, and Out-
of-Town educational travel and training through the year-end. The reprogramming will
ensure that all FY 2023 costs are covered.
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
