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
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, the
Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram
Fiscal Year 2026 Special Purpose Revenue in the amount of $70,101,974 within the Department
of General Services (DGS). Budget authority is required to comply with the provisional § 8–
1774.10a, Mayor’s Energy Surcharge Fund (MESF), established in the FY 2026 Budget Support
Act (BSA). The legislation called for the creation of a special fund that ha d not been adequately
funded and requires the allocation of resources from the Sustainable Energy Trust Fund (SETF) to
the MESF.

This action will reprogram budget authority within the Energy – Centrally Managed division,
Account Group 712100C (Energy Communication and Building Rentals). Funds are available
within the Department of General Services’ budget based on the original appropriation but require
reallocation to address programmatic needs and implement the Council’s intent.

The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $70,101,974 of Special Purpose Revenue Funds Budget Authority within the

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

Sincerely,

Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer

DATE: February 24, 2026

SUBJECT: FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $70,101,974.00 within the Department
of General Services

The Department of General Services (DGS) is requesting a budget reprograming totaling
$70,101,974.00 within DGS’s FY 2026 special purpose revenue (SPR) budget from its Sustainable
Energy Trust Fund (SETF) to the Department of General Services (DGS).

Why are the funds needed?
The SPR funds need to be reprogrammed to comply with the FY 2026 Budget Support Act
(BSA). Council established this new fund during the FY 2026 budget formulation process but
did not move the funds from SETF. As such, the agency is unable to spend the funds until they
are appropriately aligned per the Council's intent.

The District’s FY 2026 Approved Budget includes $70,101,974 in DGS’s SETF (Fund
#1060327) SPR budget to pay for gas, steam, electricity, water, sustainable energy and waste
management needs. However, Subtitle (IV) (C) of the FY 2026 BSA prohibits the District from
expending SETF resources on these energy needs managed centrally by DGS.

Does 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?
As shown in the attached attributes worksheet

Why are the funds available?
The FY 2026 Approved Budget includes the funds in DGS’s SETF in error.

What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
The FY 2026 BSA requires the energy bills centrally managed by DGS to be paid utilizing the
correct Fund.

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, Danielle Meadors, Chief Operating Officer,
Department of General Services, at Danielle.Meadors@dc.gov.
