Dear Mr. Lee:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, (D.C. Official Code § 47-363 et seq.), I am
submitting a request to reprogram FY 2026 Local Funds – 1010001 in the amount of $7,000,000 from
the Repayment of Loans and Interest to the Commercial Paper Program. D ue to the increased usage of
short-term borrowing facilities to pay for capital expenditures, and the volatility of short -term interest
r
ates due to geopolitical factors, the debt service costs associated with short-term borrowing is exceeding
what had been budgeted for FY 2026. Therefore, there is a need to reprogram funds from long-term debt
service to short-term debt service to ensure sufficient funds to meet all necessary debt service obligations
through the remainder of FY 2026. The funds will be reprogrammed as outlined on the attached
a
ttributes sheet and additional details are contained in the agency’s submission.
Thank you for your c onsideration of this request. I look forward to the Chief Financial Officer’s
favorable review.
Sincerely,
Muriel Bowser

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 (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram
Fiscal Year 2026 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $7,000,000 from the Repayment
of Loans and Interest agency (DS0) to the Commercial Paper Program agency (ZC0). The
reprogramming is needed to provide funding for the cost of increased short-term interest rates, to
prevent a projected deficit and to ensure timely payment.
This action will reprogram budget authority between Interest Bonds – General Obligation (GO)
Bonds and Interest Notes , within the Account Group 718100C (Government Subsidies and
Grants). Excess funds are available in DS0’s budget due to the utilization and timing of short-term
borrowing to fund the capital improvements program as opposed to long-term borrowing over the
fiscal year.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $7,000,000 of Local Funds Budget Authority from the Repayment of Loans
and Interest to the Commercial Paper Program

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on Repayment of Loans and Interest and the Commercial Paper Program’s budget
or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,
Glen Lee

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tomas Talamante
Director, Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs
Executive Office of the Mayor
THRU: Darryl Street
Associate Treasurer
Debt and Grants Management
FROM: Carmen Pigler
Deputy CFO and Treasurer
Office of Finance and Treasury
DATE: June 2, 2026
SUBJECT: FY 2026 Reprogramming Reque st for $7,000,000 of Local funds budget
authority from DS0 to ZC0
The Office of Finance and Treasury is requesting budget reprogramming of $7,000,000 in Local
funds budget authority from the Debt Service Obligations (DS0) to the Commercial Paper Program
(ZC0) for projected debt service on short-term obligation payable through the remainder of fiscal
year 2026.
Why are the funds needed?
ZC0’s FY 2026 budgeted debt service amount was derived from prior year’s use of short-term
borrowing facilities and prevailing interest rates. However, the short-term interest rate
environment, as well as the use of the short-term borrowing facilities, have both significantly
increased since FY 2026 budget formulation. Therefore, the additional funds are needed to
ensure that debt service obligations on these short-term borrowing facilities can be paid in a
timely manner.

Page 2
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?
The reprogramming would occur between two paper agencies, DS0 and ZC0, both of which are
within the Office of Finance and Treasury.
Why are the funds available?
Actual FY 2026 long-term borrowing to fund the capital improvements plan is lower than
anticipated as of June 2026. To manage the execution of capital projects more projects have been
funded with short-term borrowing, therefore there is excess budget authority in DSO for FY 2026
that can be utilized for this reprogramming.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
Failure to make debt service payments when due is an event of default, which is a Financial
Control Board trigger.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed because of the action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
No programs, services or other purchases will be delayed because of this action.
Should you have any questions, please contact Darryl Street at (202) 727-1768 or at
