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
Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025, approved December 21, 2024 ( P.L. 118-158), the
Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram
Fiscal Year 2025 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $1,299,397 within the Department
of Parks and Recreation (DPR) . The funds are needed to provide quality urban recreation and
leisure services for residents and visitors to the District of Columbia.

This action will reprogram budget authority from DPR’s Recreation Services and Programming
division, Account Groups 713100C (Other Services and Charges), 713200C (Contractual Services
– Other), and 717100C (Purchases Equipment and M achinery), to the Recreation Center
Operations division, Account Groups 711100C (Supplies and Materials), 713100C (Other Services
and Charges) , 713200C (Contractual Services – Other), 714100C (Government Subsidies and
Grants), and 717100C (Purchases Equipment and M achinery). Funds are available 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 DPR’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.
