Federal Payments
Federal Payment for Resident Tuition Support
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $25,600,000
for the resident tuition support program, $8,700,000 above the
fiscal year 2004 appropriation and $8,600,000 above the
President's request. These funds are to be used on behalf of
eligible District of Columbia residents to pay an amount based
upon the difference between in-State and out-of-State tuition
at eligible public and private institutions of higher
education.
The program was created by the District of Columbia College
Access Act of 1999 and has given thousands of District college-
bound students the opportunity to expand their higher education
choices. The program receives its funding through a Federal
appropriation which is deposited into a dedicated account under
the control of the District of Columbia Chief Financial
Officer. Over 6,000 students have received grant awards since
the inception of this program. And in June of this year the
first group of students graduated from college. The program
will celebrate its sixth year of operation in fiscal year 2005.
The Committee looks forward to a report from the Resident
Tuition Support Office on the status of this popular program.
Federal Payment for Emergency Planning and Security Costs
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $15,000,000
for emergency planning and security costs, $4,065,000 above the
fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same as the President's
request. These funds are for emergency planning and security
costs related to the presence of the Federal government in the
District of Columbia and surrounding jurisdictions.
Federal Payment to the District of Columbia Courts
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $202,110,000
for operation of District of Columbia Courts, including the
Family Court, $35,335,000 above the fiscal year 2004
appropriation and $25,959,000 below the President's request.
This amount includes $8,952,000 for the Court of Appeals,
$84,948,000 for the Superior Court, $40,699,000 for the Court
System, and $67,511,000 for capital improvements to courthouse
facilities.
Given current budgetary constraints, coupled with competing
demands for resources, the Committee was unable to provide the
full funding requested by the District of Columbia Courts for
the restoration of the Old Courthouse facility. The Committee
is supportive of this important project as well as the overall
effort to restore the Judiciary Square area of the city. The
Committee is committed to providing the remainder of the funds
necessary for completion of the Old Courthouse project as part
of the fiscal year 2006 appropriations process. In the interim,
the Committee has provided bill language allowing the District
of Columbia Courts to enter into a construction contract that
includes the full scope of the project. Should unanticipated
needs arise, the Committee has provided bill language allowing
for the reallocation of not more than four percent of the total
funds provided to the Courts for facilities. The Committee
believes that this will provide the Courts with sufficient
funding flexibility to move forward with the Old Courthouse
project this year.
Defender Services in the District of Columbia Courts
The Committee recommends $41,500,000 for Defender Services
in District of Columbia Courts, $9,689,000 above the fiscal
year 2004 appropriation and the same as the President's
request. These funds provide payment for counsel appointed in
proceedings in the Family Court of the Superior Court and under
the District of Columbia Guardianship, Protective Proceedings,
and Durable Power of Attorney Act of 1986.
Federal Payment to the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency
for the District of Columbia
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $183,490,000
for the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA)
and the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia,
$16,049,000 above the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and
$4,000,000 below the President's request. This amount includes
$115,343,000 for Community Supervision and Sex Offender
Registration, $39,314,000 for the Pretrial Services Agency, and
$28,833,000 as a transfer to the Public Defender Service.
The Committee understands that with the additional funding
provided in fiscal year 2005 the renovation of the new re-entry
and sanctions center at Karrick Hall will be completed. This
re-entry and sanctions center will be able to treat
approximately 1,200 offenders annually.
The Committee directs that within the funds provided to
CSOSA, $200,000 is to be used to continue the GPS electronic
monitoring program, and $1,000,000 is to be used to continue
efforts to reduce supervision caseload ratios.
Federal Payment to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $10,000,000
to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (WASA),
$19,823,000 below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the
same as President's request. These funds are to continue
implementation of the Combined Sewer Overflow Long-Term Plan
and are to be matched 100 percent by WASA.
The District's combined sewer system was designed and
constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the late
1800's and serves about a third of the District. The capacity
of the system is exceeded during storms with the excess flow
being discharged to the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers, Rock
Creek, and tributary waters. WASA has developed a long-term
plan to control these overflows and improve the water quality
of the rivers. The plan is estimated to cost $1.3 billion and
take between 15 to 40 years to complete depending on how much
Federal assistance is obtained. While the Committee is
supportive of the project and is providing funding for it in
the bill, the Committee does not have the resources to provide
the level of funding WASA is seeking from the Federal
government. Therefore, the Committee strongly encourages WASA
to pursue other sources of public and private funding.
Federal Payment for the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $3,000,000
for the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative, $1,971,000 below the
fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same as the President's
request. These funds are for the design and construction of a
continuous pedestrian and bicycle trail system from the Potomac
River to the District's border with Maryland.
The Anacostia Waterfront Initiative is a multi-year, multi-
project initiative to revitalize the Anacostia River and its
waterfront communities. The design and construction of a
continuous pedestrian and bicycle trail system from the Potomac
River to the District's border with Maryland is one such
project. The project will take approximately four years to
complete, one year for design and three years for construction.
The Committee provides $3,000,000 to begin construction in
fiscal year 2005. The Committee will reassess the funding
requirements for this project in the future.
Federal Payment to the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $1,300,000 to
the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, $8,000 above the
fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same as the President's
request. These funds are to support initiatives related to the
coordination of Federal and local criminal justice resources in
the District of Columbia.
The Committee recognizes the Criminal Justice Coordinating
Council (CJCC) as an important agency within the law
enforcement and criminal justice community in the District of
Columbia. Federal and local agencies are expected to
demonstrate accountability on the initiatives undertaken each
year to improve public safety in the city. To this end, we
request the CJCC collect and analyze data that measures
progress made on the individual CJCC initiatives and to include
these measures in the annual report. CJCC agencies will be
expected to share information and data with CJCC by utilizing
the JUSTIS integrated information system for tracking and
monitoring individuals throughout the criminal justice system
and providing the required information to the Statistical
Analysis Center.
Federal Payment for Capital Development in the District of Columbia
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $7,000,000 to
the District of Columbia for capital development, $1,102,000
below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and $7,000,000 above
the President's request. These funds are for construction of
the new multi-agency Unified Communications Center.
Federal Payment for Public School Libraries
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $6,000,000 to
the District of Columbia Public School Libraries for a new
library/learning center initiative. These funds are subject to
a 100 percent match by the District of Columbia Public Schools.
The Committee is concerned with the very poor physical
condition of some of the District's public school libraries,
and with the lack of library resources available to students
and teachers. Therefore, the Committee has provided an
additional $6,000,000, subject to a one-to-one match from the
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) for a new library/
learning center enhancement initiative. The intent of this new
program is to enhance elementary school libraries as fully
functioning learning centers and, in doing so, help provide the
critical educational resources that our children deserve in
order to receive a quality education.
The Committee envisions this new initiative as a
collaborative program designed to bring together local,
Federal, and possibly private resources. In this light, the
Committee urges the DCPS to continue to work with the Library
of Congress (Library), and to expand this relationship to
include not only the Library's surplus book program, but also
their excess equipment program. This evolving relationship
between DCPS and the Library will allow DCPS to secure not only
books and periodicals, but also information technology
resources for their elementary school learning centers. The
Library of Congress has also discussed with the Committee the
possibility of developing an information technology-training
program. While the Library does not have an accredited training
program, they do provide teachers with some hands-on training.
DCPS should consider whether such training complements DCPS's
current teacher training programs. In addition, DCPS should
coordinate it's current E-Rate program within the context of
this new initiative as a way of obtaining the maximum benefits
possible in the restoration and enhancement of its library/
learning centers.
The Committee directs that the Federal portion of these
funds be used for the acquisition of library resources
including, but not limited to, books, periodicals, computers,
and software. The matching component of this program should be
used to renovate library space to include, but not limited to,
such things as wiring, furniture, and any physical enhancement
projects that are necessary to transform these libraries into
fully functioning learning centers. However, these funds should
not be used for major construction projects.
As soon as practicable after passage of this Act, DCPS
should develop a prioritized assessment of their elementary
school library needs. Within the resources provided for this
new initiative, DCPS should allocate funding to those
elementary schools with the greatest need for library/learning
centers. The Committee directs that DCPS provide a biannual
report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and Senate detailing the status of the
implementation of this library/learning-center initiative.
These reports should provide a comprehensive review of Federal
funding, matching funding, as well as those resources provided
through other agencies or private organizations.
Federal Payment for the Family Literacy Program
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $1,000,000
for the Family Literacy program, $988,000 below the fiscal year
2004 appropriation and $1,000,000 above the President's
request. These funds are to be used to address the needs of
literacy-challenged parents and are available contingent upon
the District providing a 100 percent match.
Federal Payment for Transportation Assistance
The Committee recommends zero funds as a Federal payment to
the District of Columbia Department of Transportation,
$3,479,000 below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the
same as President's request.
Federal Payment for Foster Care Improvements in the District of
Columbia
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $5,000,000
for Foster Care Improvements in the District of Columbia,
$8,917,000 below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and
$5,000,000 above the President's request. These funds are
allocated as follows $3,000,000 for the Child and Family
Services Agency, of which $2,000,000 is for the continuation of
the early intervention program to provide intensive and
immediate services for foster children; $1,000,000 is for
emergency support to fund the purchase of items necessary to
allow children to remain in the care of approved family
members; $1,500,000 is for the Department of Mental Health to
provide court-ordered and agency-required help for children
under the supervision of the Child and Family Services Agency;
and $500,000 is for Washington Metropolitan Council of
Governments for respite care and recruitment of foster parents.
Federal Payment to the Office of Chief Financial Officer of the
District of Columbia
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $19,000,000
for the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia,
$13,159,000 below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and
$19,000,000 above the President's request. These funds are for
education, public safety, health, economic development, and
infrastructure initiatives in the District of Columbia.
Federal Payment for Emergency Cross Training
The Committee recommends zero funds as a Federal payment to
the District of Columbia for emergency cross training, $497,000
below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same as
President's request.
Federal Payment for School Improvement
The Committee Recommends a Federal payment for school
improvement of $40,000,000, the same as the fiscal year 2004
appropriation and the President's request. These funds are
allocated as follows: $13,000,000 to improve public school
education in the District of Columbia, $13,000,000 for
expanding quality charter schools in the District of Columbia,
and $14,000,000 to the Secretary of Education for opportunity
scholarships for low-income children in the District of
Columbia, of which $1,000,000 is for administrative expenses.
The Committee has fully funded the school improvement
program, which is a three tiered approach designed to improve
the quality of education in the District of Columbia while
promoting school choice.
The Committee is committed to improving the District of
Columbia School System and has provided $13,000,000 to help
improve public school education. The expectation on the part of
the Committee is that the superintendent of DCPS will allocate
these funds to programs and projects designed to have the
greatest impact on improving educational achievement by
strengthening leadership and instructional excellence through
principal and teacher recruitment and retention, and by
increasing student achievement through supplemental services
and public school choice.
The Committee has provided $13,000,000 for charter schools
to be allocated as follows: $5,000,000 for the City Build
initiative, $3,000,000 for direct loans and credit enhancement,
$3,000,000 for an incubator school, and $2,000,000 to
Educational Advancement Alliance for a charter school college
preparatory program.
The Committee continues the City Build initiative to
further the District's ability to provide assistance to charter
schools in securing permanent locations by combining financial
assistance with the incentives to locate in neighborhoods
identified for retention efforts. This program, launched in
fiscal year 2004, reflects the vision for schools as
neighborhood centers that would attract and retain residents.
The long-term vision for this program is that, once
established, the existence of additional financial assistance
to charter schools to locate in strategic neighborhoods will be
a stand-alone incentive for new charter schools to look to
these neighborhoods first in the pursuit of a location.
The Committee has provided $4,000,000 for an incubator
school. One of the biggest challenges to new charter schools is
the acquisition of an appropriate facility. The concept, known
as an ``incubator school'' will provide a facility for new
schools to temporarily locate while establishing themselves in
the community. New charter schools are often the most in need
of a space that does not require a significant investment in
renovation or construction, and would provide a ``safe harbor''
space to allow the school to gain ground in both financial and
student investment.
The Committee has provided $4,000,000 to continue support
for the successful credit enhancement/direct loan program to
assist charter schools in acquiring funding for facilities.
The Committee has provided $14,000,000 for opportunity
scholarships for low-income students in District of Columbia.
The Washington Scholarship Fund operates this program, first
established in fiscal year 2004. To date, more than 2,600
children have applied for these new K-12 scholarships that can
be used for tuition, transportation, and fees at participating
District of Columbia schools. It is expected that the 50
participating schools will offer a total of 1,264 slots for
children in the coming school year. Based on these enrollment
figures, this new education approach is already turning into a
popular and successful program.
Federal Grants
The District of Columbia participates as a State, county,
and city in the various Federal grant programs. At the time the
fiscal year 2005 budget was submitted the District estimated
that it would receive a total of $1,859,763,000 in Federal
grants during the coming fiscal year.
The following table shows the amount of Federal grants the
District expects to receive and the office or agency that
expects to receive them:

purchased and capital improvements made in 2003 and earlier years. The depreciation is made over the estimated
useful lives of the equipment purchased or capital improvement installed.
\2\ FY2004 and FY2005 have been prepared on a budget basis. Under this basis, depreciation is not calculated but
equipment purchases are shown as an operating budget expenditure. We estimate that, under a GAAP basis, in
2004 and 2005, the University will incur depreciation expense of approximately $5 million in each year.

local funds and $10,000,000 from Federal payments). The
projects are listed on page 62 of this report.

Aqueduct collects, purifies, and pumps an adequate supply of
potable water to the District of Columbia, Arlington County,
and the City of Falls Church, Virginia.
STORMWATER PERMIT COMPLIANCE ENTERPRISE FUND

Enterprise Fund is to ensure compliance with EPA requirements
under the District's storm water permit issued in April 2000.

The Committee recommends $247,000,000 and 92 full-time
equivalent positions from other funds for the Lottery and
Charitable Games Enterprise Fund for fiscal year 2005. The
Lottery and Charitable Games Enterprise Fund generates revenues
for the general fund and regulates charitable games in order to
support programs and services for the residents of the District
of Columbia.
SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT COMMISSION
The Committee recommends $7,322,000 from other funds for
the Sports and Entertainment Commission for fiscal year 2005.
The Sports and Entertainment Commission improves the quality of
life and enhances economic development in the District by
operating RFK Stadium, managing the non-military functions of
the District of Columbia National Guard Armory, promoting the
District as a venue for sports and entertainment activities,
and supporting youth recreational activities.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RETIREMENT BOARD
The Committee recommends $15,277,000 and 14 full-time
equivalent positions from other funds for the District of
Columbia Retirement Board for fiscal year 2005. The mission of
the District of Columbia Retirement Board is to invest,
control, and manage the assets of the District of Columbia
Teachers' Retirement System and the District of Columbia Police
Officers' and Fire Fighters' Retirement System.
WASHINGTON CONVENTION CENTER ENTERPRISE FUND
The Committee recommends $77,176,000 from other funds for
the Washington Convention Center Enterprise Fund for fiscal
year 2005. The mission of the Washington Convention Center
Enterprise Fund is to expand the revenue base of the District
by promoting and hosting large national and international
conventions and trade shows that bring hundreds of thousands of
out-of-town delegates, exhibitors, and businesses to
Washington, D.C.; and to provide expanded employment and
business opportunities for residents of the District.
NATIONAL CAPITAL REVITALIZATION CORPORATION
The Committee recommends $7,849,000 from other funds for
the National Capital Revitalization Corporation for fiscal year
2005. The mission of the National Capital Revitalization
Corporation is to spur economic development throughout the
District of Columbia, primarily in neighborhoods of need.
The Committee supports the National Capital Revitalization
Corporation's (NCRC) commitment to working with the existing
waterfront businesses to develop an effective strategy for the
implementation of the revitalization plan. The Committee also
supports the creation of a Waterfront Task Force with
representatives from the business and residential communities
affected by the southwest waterfront development.
The Capital Yacht Club is recognized as an important and
historic, non-profit institution. The Committee urges NCRC to
continue to maintain an open conversation with the Yacht Club
to ensure that future planning contains proper facilities for
the Yacht Club's administrative operations that are in close
proximity to their current facilities.
The Committee is concerned about the potential to
compromise security at Department of Defense (DOD) facilities
in the District of Columbia as a result of the efforts to
revitalize the waterfront area of the city. The Committee
supports this revitalization effort, but does not understand
the rational for excluding DOD representation on the Anacostia
Waterfront Corporation (AWC). The Committee believes that
embracing DOD as a full partner with a seat and a vote on the
Board of the AWC creates synergies that will greatly benefit
both the AWC and DOD. The Committee would expect DOD to be
added as a full voting member on the Board of the AWC.
UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

receive $5,473,000 and 71 full-time equivalent positions from
intra-District funds for a total operating budget of
$90,575,000 and 1,023 full-time equivalent positions.
The mission of the University of the District of Columbia
