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 has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram Capital funds
budget authority and allotment in the amount of $12,500,000 from the District of Columbia Public
Library (DCPL) to the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development
(DMPED).

The funds are needed to cover the closing of Phase 1 for the Barry Farm project.

Capital budget will be reprogrammed from the project below:

Agency Project Title Amount
CE0/CE0 100353 CE0.SEL37C.SOUTHEAST LIBRARY

($12,500,000.00)

Capital budget will be reprogrammed to the project below:

Agency Project Title Amount
EB0/EB0 100382 EB0.EB013C.BARRY FARM, PARK CHESTER,
WADE ROAD $12,500,000.00

Capital budget in the amount of $12,500,000 is available because the federal government awarded
DCPL American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The federal dollars are being swapped wi th the
District’s bonds freeing up funding for this reprogramming request.

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

Sincerely,

Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer
