The Council Budget Director shall change the numbers in the “Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Request
Act” based on the attached spreadsheet to reflect the actions of the Council. Changes to the
expenditure spreadsheet from the previous draft are discussed below.

Substantive Changes

Office of the Attorney General

1. Specify where cut to NPS is being taken

Office of the Attorney General and Justice Grants Administration

2. Shift $200,000 from the Justice Grants Administration to Access to Justice

Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development

3. Restore cut of $887,000 and 7.0 FTEs because a CFO certification could not be obtained
before vote.

Department of Employment Services

4. Restore $4,635,000 in one-time funds to adult job training

Department of Human Services

5. Restore $2.5 million in one-time funds to restore a portion of the TANF cut

Child and Family Services Agency

6. Restore the remaining $365,000 on a one-time basis to fully restore the cut to the
Grandparent’s Subsidy Program.

Children and Youth Investment Trust Collaborative

7. Add $2 million for competitive grants for community-based targeted gang street intervention
and outreach, as recommended in "A Blueprint for Action: Responding to Gang, Crew, and
Youth Violence in the District of Columbia".
8. Restore $320,000 in one-time funds to the Ward 5 anti-crime initiative

Repayment of Loans and Interest

9. Add the debt service operating impact of purchasing 225 Virginia Avenue and providing
dedicated WMATA funding
Non-Departmental
10. Reflect the Virginia Avenue reduction as only $9.23 million reduction instead of $12.7
million, so as not to reduce utilities from other vacant buildings. The reduction is now the
result of the District purchasing the property, rather than the cancellation of the lease.

Multiple Agencies
11. The Office of the Budget Director shall adjust the budget of each agency to remove FY10
funding for special bonus pay per the Budget Support Act.

Financial Plan Only, Does Not Appear in Expenditure Table

12. Freeze the out-year calculations of the DCPS UPSFF at the Fiscal Year 2009 level per the
subtitle in the Budget Support Act.
13. Re-designate $3.466 million in Non-Departmental for utilities at vacant buildings as one-
time funding in FY10.
14. Designate as one-time funds: $1.1 million in Office of the Attorney General for Access to
Justice funding, $25,000 in the Corrections Information Council for Undesignated NPS,
$325,000 in the Justice Grants Administration for sub-grants, and $25,000 for the Motor
Vehicle Theft Prevention Commission.
15. After including a $3 million operating margin in Fiscal Year 2010, reserve all additional
fund balance created by FY 2010 Council action to solve the out-year challenges in Fiscal
Years 2011 and 2012.
16. Re-designate the following programs as one-time funds on an equal percentage basis:
Summer Youth Employment Program (DOES), Housing Authority Subsidy (DCHA),
Emergency Rental Assistance (DHS), LIHEAP (DDOE), as necessary to ensure a balanced
financial plan.

Technical Changes

Office of Contracting and Procurement

17. Restore 1.5 FTEs that were inadvertently deleted from the Office of Contracting and
Procurement

Department of Housing and Community Development

18. Remove cut of $250,000 Access to Housing grant from local funds, because the grant is
eliminated from Special Purpose Revenue by striking it in the Budget Support Act.

Commission on Arts and Humanities

19. Correctly reflect a decrease to $250,000 earmark, instead of an increase.

Office of Cable Television

20. Remove the $1 million Local funds increase to the Office of Cable Television. The goal of
the Council was to maintain the Special Purpose designation from May 2009.

Office of Unified Communications

21. Correctly reflect the use of E-911 fund balance as a one-time revenue increase to Fiscal Year
2010, not as an expenditure cut.

District of Columbia Public Schools, DC Public Charter Schools, UDC

22. Reallocate $1.4 million in Stimulus Funds as a technical adjustment

funds.

following its transfer back.
