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
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, 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 $180,000 from the District of Columbia Public
Schools (DCPS) to the Office of the Secretary (OS).

This reprogramming will support the implementation of a new capital project, the Municipal
Regulations Modernization project. The project will modernize the publication workflows and
website for the DC Municipal Regulations and the DC Register of official notices and documents,
ensuring a more efficient regulatory reporting and publication process.

Capital funds budget in the amount of $180,000 will be reprogrammed from the following project:

Agency Project Title Amount

GA0/GA0 100427 GA0.AFM04C.TECHNOLOGY
MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE $ 180,000.00
Total $ 180,000.00

Capital funds budget in the amount of $180,000 will be reprogrammed to the following new
project:

Agency Project Title Amount

BA0/BA0 101457 District of Columbia Municipal Regulations
Modernization $ 180,000.00
Total $ 180,000.00

Honorable Phil Mendelson
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $180,000 of Capital Funds Budget Authority and Allotment from the District of
Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) to the Office of the Secretary (OS)
page 2

Capital funds in the amount of $180,000 are available to reprogram from the Technology
Modernization Initiative project due to delays and higher than expected costs associated with its
implementation. A dditionally, to meet the minimum funding level for a new capital project
(250K), an additional 750K has been included in the FY26 supplemental.

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

Sincerely,

Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer

DATE: April 13, 2026

SUBJECT: FY 2026 Request to Reprogram $180,000 from District of Columbia Public Schools
(DCPS) Capital Budget to Office of the Secretary (OS) Capital Budget

This is an FY 2026 reprogramming request to reprogram $180,000.00 from DC Public Schools capital
project 100427 (Technology Modernization) to Office of the Secretary capital project 101457 (Municipal
Regulations Modernization) for upgrading the process and website used for publication of the DC
Municipal Regulations (DCMR) and the DC Register of official notices and documents.

Why are the funds needed?
Modernization of the website used to publish DC’s regulatory code and official documents is overdue,
and starting the project in Spring 2026 can potentially reduce the project cost by $350,000. The District
plans to partner with a non-profit organization to use an existing external grant to fund the first phase of
the project in Spring/Summer 2026. Because the grant funds will expire, the first phase must be
substantially completed by July 2026. This timeline is only feasible if capital funding is in place within the
next month.

Is this a reprogramming to 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 DCPS capital project “Technology Modernization” (100427) to OS
capital project “Municipal Regulations Modernization” (101457) as described below.

Total $180,000.00

Why are the funds available?

Funds are available at this time because the DCPS Technology Modernization project has encountered
delays in FY 2026 related to higher than expected operating impacts of capital.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year?

The total project price will likely increase by $350,000 if the action is postponed. Given funding
constraints, it could put the District’s ability to pursue the project at risk. Postponing modernization of
the DC Regulations website and the processes used to update the DCMR and publish the DC Register
would also delay the benefits of improved public access to DC’s regulatory code and streamlined
processes and significant time savings for DC government staff.

What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the impact
on the program or agency?
No other projects will be delayed by this action.
