Dear Dr. 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 2024 local funds in the amount of $1,014,322 within the Office of the Attorney

General to realign retention and stabilization funds which were inadvertently allocated to the Cure-the-

Streets (CTS) program rather than the Immediate Office program in the FY24 formulated budget.

Details of the request are contained in the agency’s submission. Thank you for your consideration of this

request. I look forward to the Chief Financial Officer’s favorable review of this request.

Sincerely,

Dear Chairman Mendelson:

Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the

Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, P.L. 118-14, approved March 23, 2024, the Office of the Chief

Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram Fiscal Year 2024 Local funds budget

authority in the amount of $1,014,322 within the Office of the Attorney General’s (OAG). Funds are needed to

realign the budget to support programmatic initiatives.

This action will reprogram budget authority from OAG’s Agency Management program to the Office of the

Attorney General program within Account Group 701300C (Additional Gross Pay). Funds are available in

OAG’s budget based on the original appropriation but require reprogramming to meet programmatic needs.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an adverse impact

on OAG’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to this reprogramming request.

Sincerely,

Glen Lee

SUBJECT:      Request for FY 2024 Local Reprogramming – Realignment of the Employee

              Retention & Stabilization Funding

The Office of Attorney General (OAG) requests the realignment of the retention and stabilization

funds which were inadvertently allocated to the Cure-the-Streets (CTS) program rather than the

Immediate Office program in the FY24 formulated budget. The reprogramming of $1,014,322 in

personnel services (701300C) will align the budget to the correct program and cost center during

Immediate Office.

Why are the funds needed?

The purpose of the funds that have been approved is to retain employees within OAG. The

reprogramming request is only to align the budget to the correct cost center and program.

Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?

No.

Why are the funds available?

The retention funding was inadvertently budgeted in the incorrect cost center and program

during FY 2024 implementation.

What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal

year?

If this reprogramming is not approved, OAG the expenditures will not align the correct cost

center and program.

What programs, services, or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and

the impact on the program or agency?
