    November 28, 2017 The Hon. Trayon White, Sr. Council of the District of Columbia The John A. Wilson Building 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 400 Washington, DC 20004 Dear Councilmember White: This responds to your request that the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor (ODCA) conduct a review of Ward 8 contracts, particularly those for community engagement services, and those held by entities located at a particular address, to determine whether required procurement procedures have been followed. Our review included Internet searches, Lexis runs, and gathering contract information from the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) website, the Department of General Services (DGS) website, and Events DC. We also obtained information regarding Certified Business Enterprises (CBE) from the Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD). We have completed our review. We did not find evidence of violation of procurement rules though, as indicated below, we found: • Inconsistencies in rental information provided by businesses using the address in question. • The appearance of deliberate avoidance of Council review of contracts. • The appearance of use of the property not consistent with the zoning variance. Businesses at 3215 Martin Luther King, Jr., Avenue There are more than 30 companies that use the address 3215 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE, Washington, DC, 20032 (hereinafter referred to as “3215 MLK”). As described below in more detail, anomalies in the commercial lease agreements for these companies, as well as the sheer number of companies that appear to be using 3215 MLK as their address, suggest that some or all of these businesses may not have been operating out of that location during the relevant time periods.

  • Frequently Asked Questions Mayor Bowser's B21-0357
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS MAYOR BOWSER’S B21-0357 PUBLIC SAFETY AND CRIMINAL CODE REVISIONS ACT OF 2015 WHY DO WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT B21-0357? B21-0357 promotes ineffective and counterproductive “tough on crime” approaches to public safety. In response to the recent rise in crime in the District of Columbia, Mayor Muriel Bowser (“Mayor”) proposed B21-0357, the Public Safety and Criminal Code Revisions Amendment Act of 2015. The Mayor’s proposal would employ policies that have proven ineffective and counterproductive in ensuring public safety. Over the past 25 years local politicians have adhered to the conventional wisdom that being “tough on crime” will win elections and appease the public’s appetite for safety. To alleviate public fear and thirst for retribution, our lawmakers have deemed more acts criminal and doled out harsher punishments. Many of these laws have been selectively enforced on the District’s Black community and communities of color and have produced a dramatic rise in incarceration and criminal justice control. Despite dramatic shifts in public opinion, with the public now supporting common sense and fair sentencing, B21-0357 adheres to the tradition of punishment and incarceration. The policies in this proposal will result in more District residents being incarcerated, and drive more people into the cycle of disenfranchisement and other collateral consequences characteristic of our criminal justice system. There are also serious constitutional concerns with some of the provisions contained within the proposal. Oppose B21-0357 and urge the D.C. Council to reject “tough on crime” rhetoric in favor of smart, evidence-supported public policy.
