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 2024 Local Funds – 1010001 in the amount of $21,000.00
within the Department of Energy and Environment. The Fish & Wildlife Division (FWD) is
moving funds from grant match, as the agency could not use the funds to purchase a vehicle as
anticipated. FWD has been unable to spend due to data entry errors in DIFS. The funds will be
reprogrammed as outlined on the attached attributes sheet and additional details 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.
Sincerely,
Muriel Bowser

Washington, DC 20004-3001
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the
Fmther 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 $21,000 within the Department of Energy and
Environment (DOEE). The funds are needed to support the installation of a security camera system
at the Aquatic Resources Education Center.
This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by Council.
However, another reprogramming from DOEE has already been approved, and this
reprogramming would result in a cumulative change to the budget of DOEE of more than
$500,000.
This action will reprogram budget authority within DOEE's Environmental division, from
Account Group 717100C (Purchase Equipment and Machinery) to Account Groups 711100C
(Supplies and Materials), 713100C (Other Services and Charges), and 713200C (Contractual
Services - Other). Funds are available based on the original appropriation but require
reprogramming to meet revised spending plans.

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

MEMORANDUM
TO: Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs (OPLA)
FROM: Richard Jackson, Director
Department of Energy and Environment
DATE: June 18, 2024
SUBJECT: FY 2024 Request to Reprogram $21,000 within the Department of Energy
and Environment
The Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) requests to reprogram $21,000 within the
agency to allow the agency to make approved purchases.
Why are the funds needed?
DOEE requires additional funds in the contractual services category to enable the agency to
complete installation of a security camera system for the Aquatic Resources Education Center
(AREC). There have been break-ins and attempted break-ins at the AREC and staff do not feel
safe being there late in the day, especially during the fall and winter when it gets dark early.
DOEE has already signed an MOU with the Department of General Services to do this work.
Funding is needed in the supplies category so that staff may purchase supplies necessary to
conduct federally-approved research and locally-required inspection and enforcement for
apiaries.
Funding is needed in the out-of-town travel category so that staff can attend training and
conferences related to their job duties.
Funding is needed in the memberships category to pay for the division’s memberships in
regional and national apiary and plant inspection organizations.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
Funds will be reduced in the automotive purchase category and added in the supplies, contractual
services, travel, and memberships categories.
1200 First Street NE, 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20002 | (202) 535-2600 | doee.dc.gov
Why are the funds available?
DOEE was planning to purchase a research vehicle in FY24 using a combination of federal grant
funds and local match; we have been unable to do so due to a problem with a data entry error
when the FY24 federal budget was loaded into DIFS. Eight months into the fiscal year, those
errors continue to prohibit us from spending federal grant funds and there is no longer enough
time in the fiscal year to complete a vehicle purchase. Therefore, DOEE would like to spend the
local match funds for other important efforts within the Fisheries and Wildlife Division.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If the reprogramming does not take place this fiscal year, DOEE will be unable to contract for a
security system and the safety of our staff will continue to be put at risk.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming.
Should you have any questions, please contact Rese Cloyd at 202-997-9607 or at
rese.cloyd@dcgov.
