MEMORANDUM
TO: Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs
FROM: Jennifer Reed tol
Director, Office 6PBudget and Performance Management, OCA
DATE: October 3, 2024
SUBJECT: FY 2024 Year-End Reprogramming Request of Operating Local Funds
‘This memo requests reprogramming $47,452,933 of Fiscal Year 2024 operating Local Funds and
Federal Payment from various agencies to the Departmentof Healthcare Finance, Department of
General Services, Office ofContracting and Procurement, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority, and the John A. Wilson Building Fund to address year-end spending pressures.
Why are the funds needed?
‘The funds are needed to address higher than anticipated FY 2024 expenditures as described below.
Department of Healthcare Finance (DHCF): incurred $28.4 million in higher than
anticipated costs due to increased costs for managed care, inpatient services, and Medicare
Buy-in, The increases result from higher actual enrollment than was projected during
formulation, changing beneficiaries’ composition that results in higher costs, Dual-eligible
Special Needs Plan (DSNP) capitation rates that are higher than anticipated, a faster
utilization rebound than projected post-pandemic, and increased costs for Medicare Parts
A, B, and D for Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare.
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 costs due to additional gross pay and overtime expenses primarily in the
Protective Services Division. The energy pressure was driven almost entirely by higher-
than-expected energy rates. Since Summer 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 duc to inflationary pressures (higher wages) and contractor rates.
Additionally, DGS has deployed more guards across the city in response to client demands.

xk kk
 * Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP): incurred additional costs for post-
COVID-19 operation costs that are no longer eligible for FEMA Public Assistance
reimbursements.
© Special Purpose Revenue accounts for parking meters and parking taxes the District uses
to pay a portion ofits share of the operating subsidy for the Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Authority (WMATA) came in lower than projected.
«John A. Wilson Building Fund (JAWB): incurred higher-than anticipated fixed costs.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council’?
No.
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 less demand for various programs and
services than forecasted, lower-than-anticipated fees and issuance costs for debt service, and
delayed hiring. ‘The savings include local funds and federal payment (i.e., ARPA SLFRF). Some
underspending is due to the following:
© DGS rent surplus from DCPS is due to the restructuringofthe 1200 First Street NE lease
which produced rent abatement/savings.
* Department of Buildings’ surplus is due to one-time savings in contracts and equipment.
* Department of Housing and Community Development’s surplus is due to a delay in
projects coming online.
© Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, Office of Unified Communications,
Office of Police Complaints, Office of the Attorney General, Office of the Chief
‘Technology Officer, Department of Forensic Sciences, Officeofthe People’s Counsel, and
other agencies’ underspending in personnel services is due to hiring delays.
‘© The followings agencies had ARPA SLFRF savings in various projects: Office of the
Inspector General, Department of Health, Department of Disability Services, Department
of Behavioral Health, Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, Department of
Energy and Environment, Office of the State Superintendent of Education, University of
the District of Columbia, and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education. The savings
were the result of less than anticipated demand and hiring/program delays.
What hardship will the District faceif the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year?
Without this reprogramming, DHCF, DGS, OCP, WMATA, and JAWB will not be able to cover
the unanticipated FY 2024 costs. This may result in the District violating anti-deficiency rules.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed becauseofthe action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
No projects will be negatively impacted becauseofthis reprogramming.
