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 Local Funds budget authority
in the amount of $600,000 within the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The funds are being reprogrammed
from personnel services to non-personnel services to support operational requirements.

This action will reprogram budget authority within OIG’s Agency Management and Operations programs, from
Account Groups 701100C (Continuing Full Time) and 701400C ( Fringe Benefits – Current Personnel) to
Account Group 713100C (Other Services and Charges). Funds are available due to the vacancy savings.

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

Sincerely,

Glen Lee
Chief Financial Officer
