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 $579,000 within the Department
of Forensic Sciences (DFS). The funds are needed to support operational requirements for routine
testing and emergency responses.
This action will reprogram budget authority within the Public Safety and Health division, from
Account Groups 711100C (Supplies and Materials) and 713100C (Other Services and Charges) ,
to Account Groups 713200C (Contractual Services – Other) and 717100C (Purchases Equipment
and Machinery). Funds are available based on the original appropriation but requires reallocation
to meet current spending plans.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman

Sciences

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

December 17, 2024
FY 2025 Reprogramming Request for $579,000 of Local Funds budget authority from the
NPS to the NPS within the DFS
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The DC Department of Forensic Sciences (DFS) is requesting a budget reprogramming of $579,000 in Local
F
unds budget authority within the Agency to support the most effective use of local funds to ensure
sustained baseline operations for both routine testing and emergency response during crises.
Why are the funds needed?
This reprogramming request will allow for a more effective allocation of DFS local funds in the Public Health
Laboratory Division (PHL) allowing PHL to meet more immediate operational needs.
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 worksheet for details.
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available because it is the 1st quarter of FY 2025. PHL has been able to sustain its operational
needs thus far without major issues; however, issues will start to arise in the second quarter if the
reprogramming is not complete.
Gretchen Brumley on behalf
of Dr. Francisco Diaz
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year?
The District will not face any hardship.
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 because of this request.
Should you have any questions, please contact Archana Khare, Interim Agency Fiscal Officer, at
(202) 213-9230 or archana.khare@dc.gov
