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 Full-
Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, approved March 15, 2025, Pub. L. No.
119-4, 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 $11,815,484 from the Department
of General Services (DGS) to the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR).

This request reprograms capital funds from the DPR-owned and DGS -implemented Anacostia
Recreation Center project to a newly established D PR capital project with the same name. The
project is financed with ARPA funds , which stipulates that funds can only be withdrawn against
eligible expenditures by the owner agency. The funds will be transferred to an inter-agency capital
project to accurately record the expenditure within DPR's financial books.

Capital budget in the amount of $11,815,484 will be reprogrammed from the following project:

Agency Project Title Amount
HA0/AM0 100087 AM0.KMS20C.ANACOSTIA RECREATION
CENTER @ KETCHAM ES $11,815,484.00
Total $11,815,484.00

Capital budget in the amount of $11,815,484 will be reprogrammed to the following project:

Agency Project Title Amount
HA0 101365 HA0.ANACOSTIA RECREATION CENTER
@ KETCHAM ES $11,815,484.00
Total $11,815,484.00

Capital budget in the amount of $11,815,484 is available because the federal government awarded
DPR American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The federal dollars were initially loaded under
DGS. Due to the reporting guidelines, the funds are now being loaded under DPR.

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

Sincerely,

Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer

SUBJECT: FY 2025 Request to Reprogram Capital Budget in the amount of $11,815,484
from the Department of General Services Capital Budget to
HA0(Owner)/AM0 (Implementer) Capital Budget.

The Department of Parks and Recreation (HAO) is submitting an FY25 request to reprogram
Capital ARPA funds in the amount of $11,815,484 from 100087 / AM0.KMS20C.ANACOSTIA
RECREATION CENTER@KETCHAM ES (HAO Owner/AMO Implementer) to a new HAO
capital project, with the same name, in accordance with the grant. The grant was awarded to
HAO, but the fund authority was established under AMO (Implementer). The funds need to be
reprogrammed to the owner agency HAO as Owner AND Implementer, and subsequently will be
reallocated to an inter-agency capital project whereby HAO is the buyer and AMO is the seller.
These actions will ensure expenditures are properly reflected under HAO books and in alignment
with the draw for the ARPA grant.

Why are the funds needed?
The funds are needed for the construction of a new recreation center adjacent to Ketcham
Elementary School.

Do
es this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council? No.

Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied,
limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report, or
mark-up sheets?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
Funds will be reprogrammed FROM the following project:

Agency PROJECT TITLE Amount
AMO 100087 AM0.KMS20C.ANACOSTIA
RECREATION CENTER (a), KETCHAM ES
$11,815,484
Funds will be reprogrammed TO the following project:

Agency PROJECT TITLE Amount
HAO 101365 HA0.ANACOSTIA RECREATION
CENTER@ KETCHAM ES

In accordance with the Capital Project Clarification Act of 2009 requirements for a new project,
the following information is being provided by HAO in order to create a new project under
HAO:

1. Project name and number: ANACOSTIA RECREATION CENTER @ KETCHAM
ES and 101365

2. Description of the scope of the project: The Anacostia Recreation Center will be a new

Services to the Department of Parks and Recreation
Page 3 of 3

3. Description of the purpose of the project: This project will implement a new recreation
center.

4. Estimated full funding cost: $11,815,484

5. Description of its geographical location, including the address and Ward: Located in
Ward 8 at 1929 15 th St SE, Washington, DC 20020.

6. Estimated impact on the operating budget: NIA

7. Facility name or identifier: The Anacostia Recreation Center at Ketcham Elementary
School

Why are the funds available?
The funds are available because they have not been utilized for their intended use. This
reprogramming will allow the funds to be used for their intended use and the District properly re -
imbursed for all qualifying ARPA expenditures.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
Without an immediate reprogramming, funds authority will remain under the implementing
agency (AM0/DGS), and the owner agency (HA0/DPR) OCFO department will not be able to
appropriately request the draw (reimbursement) for qualifying ARPA expenditures for the same
amount, prior to the grant expiration date.

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 Rosemarie CheeWah at Department of Parks
and Recreation via MS Teams.
