MEMORANDUM
TO: Officeof Policy and Legislative Affairs
FROM: Jennifer Reed 4.
Director, OfficeSf Budget and Performance Management (OBPM)
DATE: September 30, 2023
SUBJECT: FY 2023 Year-End Reprogramming Request of Operating Local Funds
This memo requests to reprogram $70,760,000 of Fiscal Year 2023 operating Local Funds from
various agencies to the Emergency Planning and Security Fund (EPSF), Department of General
Services (DGS), Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the Housing Authority Subsidy
(DCHA), the Department of Public Works (DPW), the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH),
DC Health (DOH), the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), and the Office of
Contracting and Procurement (OCP).
Why are the funds needed?
‘The funds are needed to address higher-than-anticipated FY 2023 expenditures as described below.
The Department of General Services (DGS) incurred higher-than-expected costs for electricity,
natural gas, and security services costs at District facilities, as well as higher personnel services
(PS) costs due to additional gross pay and overtime expenses primarily in the Protective Services
Division (PSD) and the Facilities Maintenance Division (FMD). The energy pressure was driven
almost entirely by higher-than-expected energy rates. Since the summer of 2021, rates have
increased dramatically in response to market conditions. The demand on natural gas has increased
costs, which impacts electricity rates since the PEPCO grid relies heavily on natural gas for
electricity production. In addition, there was an increase in security expenditures because of
increasing contract rates due to inflationary pressures (high wages) and contractor rates.
Additionally, DGS has deployed additional guards across the city in response to client demands.
Beyond the DGS shortfall:
* ‘The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) incurred higher-than-budgeted PS costs
due to back pay settlements as well as overtime costs.
* The Emergency Planning and Security Fund (EPSF) incurred $37.1 million in expenses
related to managing multiple First Amendment events, African Summit, the Tyre Nichols

Ave.,NW, Suite 513 | Washington, DC 20004

 video release, the March for Life, and a full return of the federal Independence Day
fireworks display. The District has only received $30 million in reimbursements, leaving a
$7.1 million shortfall.
* The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) incurred higher-than-budgeted PS costs
due to overtime.
* The DC Housing Authority (DCHA) required a funding shift to align budget and
expenditures within the Rehabilitation and Maintenance fund.
* The Department of Public Works (DPW) saw higher-than-expected costs this year due
to significant increases in the cost of motor fuel for District fleet vehicles and higher than
budgeted PS costs due to overtime.
© The DC Health (DOH) saw additional matching costs this year due to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) change in its public assistance (PA)
reimbursement policy for the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OTCO) saw additional costs to support the
District’s return-to-work posture and COVID-19 pandemic operations.
© The Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) incurred additional costs for the
health services branch of the COVID-19 pandemic operations that were ineligible for
FEMA PA reimbursement.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No, this reprogramming does not restore any budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
See the attached attributes sheet for details.
Why are the funds available?
Funds are available because of year-end underspending at agencies identified on the attached
attribute form, ‘The funds became available because of les demand for various programs and
services than forecasted, lower-than-anticipated fees and issuance costs for debt service, fewer
settlements and judgements than were anticipated, and delayed hiring. More specifically, some
underspending is due to the following:
© The Housing Authority Subsidy’s surplus is due to savings in the project and sponsor-based
local rent subsidy program due to a delay in the projects coming online;
¢ The Department of Healthcare Finance’s surplus is due to a one-time savings in several
non-personnel categories and hiring delays;
* The Department of Corrections’ s surplus is due to one-time savings in several non-
personnel categories and hiring delays;
The Department of Transportation’s surplus is due to one-time savings across contacts and
hiring delays;
* The District of Columbia Public School’s surplus is due to one-time savings across
contracts; and,
© The Department of Parks and Recreations’ surplus is due to hiring delays.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year?

Without this reprogramming, DGS, MPD, EPSF, DBH, DCHA, DPW, DOH, OCTO, and OCP
will not be able to cover the unanticipated FY 2023 costs. This may result in the District violating
anti-deficiency rules.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
No projects will be negatively impacted becauseofthis reprogramming.
Should you have any questions, please contact Jason Kim, Deputy Budget Director, Office of
Budget and Performance Management at 202-340-7070 or Jason.Kim@de,gov.
