GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
March 14, 2011

The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman, Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20004
Re:
Responses to March 3, 2011 Inquiry
Dear Councilmember Mendelson:
In response to your letter of March 3, 2011, I am providing responses to the questions you have
posed in connection with the Judiciary Committee’s March 18, 2011 oversight hearing on the
Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH).
1.
Please describe every grant the agency is, or is considering, applying for this fiscal year.
None.
2.
Please provide the name of each employee on administrative leave in FY 2010, and thus
far for FY 2011. In addition, for each employee identified, please provide: (1) their
position; (2) a brief description of the reason they were placed on leave; (3) the dates they
were on administrative leave; (4) whether the leave is paid or unpaid; and (5) their
current status.
Please see attached chart. By way of background, the OAH Act requires that Administrative Law
Judges (ALJs) participate in continuing legal education opportunities for their professional
development which, in turn, helps them better serve the District. See generally D.C. Official
Code§§ 2-1831.03(a)(4) and 2-1831.09(a)(1). It is OAH policy to allow ALJs and other staff
administrative leave for approved travel and training related to their professional development.
In recognition of Administrative Professional’s Day in April, 2010, all support staff were given
four hours of administrative leave. In addition, through its “Shining Star” award program, OAH
has granted one day of administrative leave to selected staff once a quarter for exemplary
service, and all staff received an administrative leave day on November 12, 2010 for their efforts
as part of the office-wide Operation Clean Slate backlog reduction initiative.
3.
How many grievances have been filed by labor unions against agency management?
Please list each of them by year FY 2009 – FY 2011 (to date), and by union, if more than
one union. Give a brief description of each grievance, and the outcome as of March 1,
2011.

None.
4.
(a) D.C. Law prohibits chauffeurs, take-home vehicles, and the use of SUVs (see D.C.
Code 50-203, 50-204). Is your agency in compliance with this law? Please explain
any exceptions.
OAH is in full compliance with this law. OAH does not now have, nor has it ever had, a
government leased or purchased vehicle assigned to the agency.
(b) If there are exceptions, please provide the following: (1) Type of vehicle (make,
model, year); (2) individuals (name/position) authorized to have the vehicle; (3)
jurisdictional residence of the individual (e.g., Bowie, MD); and (4) justification for
the take-home status.
Not applicable.
5.
As of March 1, 2011, please list: each Administrative Law Judge by name; the number of
cases pending before him/her; the total number of cases before him or her since October
1, 2010; the number of cases heard starting October 1, 2010; the number of final
decisions written since October 1, 2010; the total number of final decisions written since
October 1, 2010 for cases heard.
The chart that follows reflects only those cases that are entered into OAH’s new case
management system. Therefore, the numbers underestimate the total number of hearings held,
final orders written and, for some judges, total cases assigned. Cases being cleared as part of
Operation Clean Slate were generally in the old ProLaw system and are not reflected in these
numbers.

Please provide a breakdown by jurisdiction of the backlog of cases, if any, as of October
1, 2010 and March 1, 2010. If a backlog exists, please identify what OAH is doing to
address any problems in this area.
Despite historical shortages in support staff and significant increases in case filings, OAH has
aggressively reduced its backlog in FY10. In 2QFY10, OAH launched Operation Clean Slate.
The goal of Operation Clean Slate was to eliminate by the end of FY10 all backlogged cases
filed though March 2010 that were ripe for decision.
The Operation Clean Slate initiative was a great success. From June 2010 through December
2010, OAH reduced its open and pending cases by approximately 14,600 cases, or 80%. Of the
remaining 3,577 cases, OAH expects to resolve about 50% in large groupings through
consolidated hearings and mediation. The following chart reflects the jurisdiction breakdown of
these cases as available.

What is the status of efforts to mediate District Department of Transportation cases
previously identified in OAH’s backlog?

DDOT/WASA Mediation
There are currently approximately 886 pending cases filed by DDOT against WASA at OAH. In
November 2010, DDOT and WASA, through their attorneys, agreed to mediate the cases
through OAH’s mediation program. An Administrative Law Judge, who is also a certified
mediator, was assigned as the mediator. The first in a series of mediations was held on
November 30, 2010. Since then, two other mediation sessions have been held on December 21,
2010 and February 7, 2011. Upon the granting of a continuance at the request of the parties, the
next mediation session is scheduled for April 8, 2011. As a result of these efforts thus far, 95
cases have been dismissed and 30 cases settled, for a total of 125 resolved cases.

DDOT/Washington Gas Light Mediation
There are currently approximately 1,834 pending Notices of Violation issued by DDOT against
Washington Gas Light (“WGL”). During 2008 and 2009, DDOT and WGL participated in
numerous mediation sessions that were ultimately unsuccessful. On May 25, 2010, the parties
appeared for a status conference before an ALJ, after which they were to report to this
administrative court on their willingness to return to mediation.
On June 2, 2010, DDOT sent a Notice of Status of Discussions Regarding Mediation (the
“Notice”) to update the court. In the Notice, DDOT indicated that the agency required additional
time to consult with the DDOT Director before making a decision as to mediation.
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary
March 14, 2011
Page 7 of 20
During a status conference on June 15, 2010, WGL stated that it was willing to continue
mediation discussions. However, DDOT was not interested in pursuing mediation at that time.
Since DDOT would not agree to mediate, OAH began to adjudicate the cases on the merits on a
weekly basis. In light of renewed concerns by the parties over the time and expense associated
with litigating these cases, on March 8, 2011, OAH convened a status conference to ascertain if
the parties were willing to return to mediation. The parties, through their legal counsel, informed
OAH that they would like to continue the status conference for 30 days to give them an
opportunity to negotiate a settlement of all the Notices of Violation that were issued to WGL
from 2007 to 2009, and possibly 2010. The request was granted, and the parties are required to
provide OAH with a status report on the negotiations by March 25, 2011, followed by a status
conference on April 2, 2011.

Please provide the following with regard to transcripts:
a. A status update on the issue of transcripts. If there is a backlog, identify the reasons
for this and explain what OAH is doing to resolve it.
OAH is required by rules of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals to file the “record” in any
OAH case appealed to the Court of Appeals. The record consists of all the papers filed in the
case and a transcript of any hearings in which evidence has been taken. OAH generally has 60
days in which to prepare and file the record after an appeal has been filed with the Court of
Appeals.
OAH has made a significant push through its Office of the General Counsel to timely file the
record in cases appealed to the Court of Appeals. Since the beginning of FY11, we have filed
the record in approximately 74 cases. There are 25 cases in which a transcript is due.
There are two ongoing resource challenges which affect OAH’s ability to promptly file the
record with the Court of Appeals. The first is a shortage of staff members to gather the files,
copy the audio recordings of hearings onto CDs, prepare the cover papers, and copy and file the
record with the Court of Appeals. OAH has solicited and obtained a volunteer from a local law
school to assist in the preparation of records and hopes to recruit additional volunteer law
students this summer to assist with this ongoing effort.
b. In table format, please break out all OAH’s costs to process transcripts in fiscal years
2009, 2010, and 2011 to date.

Please provide the following with regard to OAH’s adjudication of unemployment
insurance cases:
a. The agency’s level of compliance with current federal guidelines for unemployment
cases, by month, for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 to date.
The United States Department of Labor (DOL) has standards for the number of cases that should
be decided within certain timeframes. DOL’s regulations provide that 60 percent of all cases
should be decided within 30 days of filing; 80 percent of all cases should be decided within 45
days of filing; and 95 percent of cases should be decided within 90 days of filing. Please see
attached chart.
b. What steps is OAH taking, or has taken, to meet these guidelines, if any.
OAH has taken a number of steps to meet DOL standards. In February 2009, because of an
increase in filings, OAH increased the number of hearings scheduled.
In June 2009, OAH revised its methods of processing these cases and assigned legal assistants
and ALJs to work in teams. Since that change was implemented, and with some additional ALJs
assigned to work part-time in the area, OAH has met the standards more consistently. As can be
seen from the attached charts, OAH met or substantially exceeded the most stringent 30-day/60%
standard in 8 of the 12 months of FY10, with a fiscal year average of 64%, well above the DOL
standard.
c. In table format, please list the amount of intra-District funding dedicated to
employment insurance cases in OAH’s budget for each fiscal year in which the
agency has had jurisdiction of these cases. Also identify the amount of funding that
has actually been transferred to the agency in each fiscal year.

OAH has adopted a performance accountability target of 85 percent of case dispositions
within 120 days of filing (non-UI cases). In table format, provide by case jurisdiction for
fiscal years 2010 and 2011 to date: (1) the total number of cases within the jurisdiction;
(2) the number of cases that have met this target; and (3) the percentage of cases that
have met the target.
As part of its FY10 Performance Plan, OAH adopted two standards relating to case processing:
(1) 95% of Unemployment Insurance cases resolved in 90 days from the filing date; and (2)
75%-85% (depending on the fiscal year in question) of non-UI cases resolved within 120 days of
the filing date. In FY10, OAH substantially met the UI standard at 93%. The chart that follows
reflects all non-UI cases that were entered into the new case management system which was
phased in during 1QFY10.

The agency has instituted a number of new committees, and reinvigorated a number of
existing committees to address issues with agency operations.
a. Please provide a list of all committees in the agency, and the membership of the
committees.
b. Provide a description of each committee’s purpose, deliverable goals, and action plan,
if available.
c. Provide the planned or anticipated meeting schedule.
d. If the committee has deliverable goal(s), what is the timeframe for the deliverable(s)?
In FY10, internal committees provided support to many OAH functions. Most committees are
chaired by ALJs and have ALJs as members, with support staff participation where appropriate.
Summaries of the activities of OAH’s major operations committees follow.
Rules Committee
Chair: Judge John Dean
Members: Judges Erika Pierson, Elizabeth Figueroa, Nicholas Cobbs, Jesse Goode, Ann
Yahner, Jennifer Long; Attorney-Advisor Meredith Saladyga
The purpose of the Rules Committee was to undertake a comprehensive review and overhaul of
the OAH procedural rules. Proposed rules were issued in September and November, 2010. The
proposed rules were a result of a cooperative effort between OAH and stakeholder groups, with
the Committee producing an initial draft of the rules and sharing the draft with more than 40
private and governmental stakeholders, comprising a cross-section of individuals and groups
who regularly appear before OAH. The Committee held a series of meetings with the
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary
March 14, 2011
Page 12 of 20
stakeholders and revised the proposed rules in light of suggestions and comments received at
those meetings and through comments submitted from the public and OAH ALJs and AttorneyAdvisors. After considering comments received, OAH published final revised procedural rules
in December 2010, which became effective January 1, 2011. The Committee also developed and
administered several internal and external training sessions on the new rules. During the
preparation of the revised rules, the Committee met weekly, sometimes twice-weekly to meet the
timetable requested by the Council for the promulgation of new rules. The Committee now
meets as needed to address any procedural rule matters.
Mediation Committee
Chair: Judge Beverly Nash
Members: Judges Elizabeth Figueroa, Caryn Hines, E. Savannah Little, Margaret Mangan and
Wanda Tucker
The purpose of the Mediation Committee is to expand the use of alternative dispute resolution at
OAH, thereby increasing the efficiency in which matters are resolved, as well as litigant
satisfaction associated with that resolution. Towards that end, the Committee coordinated the
opening of the newly-acquired OAH Mediation Center located on the seventh floor of OJS,
which includes conference and break-out rooms. The OAH Mediation Center opened in August
2010, and resolution of cases through mediation has increased significantly with this new
resource. The Committee analyzed OAH’s current mediation program and has gathered data
relating to the types of cases mediated and outcomes. The Committee also reviewed and
proposed revisions to the OAH draft rules on mediation and collected information about other
mediation programs and policies to develop the OAH program. The Committee is updating
forms to be used in the Mediation Center and plans to complete revisions by June 2011.
Recruitment Committee
Chair: Judge Louis Burnett (three-year term ended February 2011); succeeded by Judge Caryn
Hines
Members: Judges Joan Davenport, Audrey Jenkins, Margaret Mangan, Samuel McClendon, and
Arabella Teal; Attorney-Advisors Meredith Saladyga and Janell Smith
The Recruitment Committee’s purpose is to recruit legal interns to support the judges and the
Office of the General Counsel by conducting legal research, drafting and editing memoranda and
opinions, observing hearings and mediations conducted by Administrative Law Judges. The
Committee also coordinates a Summer Intern Program which includes having interns attend
Council hearings, proceedings in Superior Court and oral arguments at the Court of Appeals.
The Committee coordinates mentor assignments and conducts training seminars for the interns
on topics such as deference to agency decisions, evidence, mediation, and how a bill becomes a
law. During the fall semester 2010, two volunteer law clerks were placed. Goals include the
following placements: spring semester 2011, 5-7 part-time interns; summer 2011, 15 full-time
interns; fall 2011, 5-6 participants from local university externship programs.
Committee members attend recruitment and career fairs at local universities, partner with
professors at Catholic University, Howard University School of Law and University of the
District of Columbia School of Law, and cultivate relationships with university career services
directors outside of the region such as McGeorge University, University of Miami, and Vermont
School of Law. The Committee also partners with the judicial council of a local bar association
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary
March 14, 2011
Page 13 of 20
which sponsors a legal internship program at the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. The
Committee is planning monthly meetings.
Training Committee
Chair: Judge Paul Handy
Members: Judges Nicholas Cobbs, Arabella Teal, Elizabeth Figueroa and William England;
Legal Assistant Starr Gantt
The Training Committee provides professional development opportunities for ALJs and staff
members. During FY10, the Committee met quarterly and accomplished the following: (1)
partnership with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) for ALJs and attorneys to attend
OAG’s Inns of Court programs; (2) development of a full-day in-house training program for
legal assistants; (3) cross-training of all judges in DPW cases; (4) coordination of general
training with the Workforce Development Administration; (5) facilitation of brown-bag lunch
discussions on legal issues for judges; (6) arrangement of bi-weekly legal assistant training
sessions led by ALJs.
Performance Measures Committee
Chair: Deputy Chief ALJ Mark D. Poindexter
Members: Judges E. Savannah Little and Robert Sharkey
In FY10, the Performance Measures Committee reviewed OAH’s existing performance
measures, researched and reviewed the performance standards adopted by other court systems,
and issued an extensive report providing recommendations to the Chief ALJ for enhanced FY
2011 agency performance measures to be tracked. During the preparation of its report, the
Committee scheduled bi-weekly meetings. The Committee will be expanding its ranks with new
volunteers and, working with the Case Management Committee, will be focusing on the
development of more individualized performance measures. The Committee expects to meet
monthly with additional recommendations issued by OAH’s consolidation in July 2011.
Ethics Committee
Chair: Judge John Dean
Members: Judges Joan Davenport, Robert Sharkey, James Harmon, Jesse Goode, and Sam
McClendon
In FY10, the Ethics Committee members responded informally to various requests for advice
from ALJs concerning the application of the OAH Code of Ethics for Administrative Law
Judges. The Committee’s work is on-going, and it meets as needed in response to ethics
inquiries.
Revenue Committee
Chair: Judge Wanda Tucker
Members: Judges Jesse Goode, Sharon Goodie, E. Savannah Little, Erika Pierson, Arabella Teal
and Steven Wellner; Attorney-Advisor Meredith Saladyga
The purpose of the Revenue Committee is to pursue revenue growth opportunities. OAH
identified the need for 11 additional Legal Assistant positions to operate efficiently. OAH first
requested funding for these positions its FY08 budget submission. The positions were not
funded and the Revenue Committee was charged with identifying funding sources.
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary
March 14, 2011
Page 14 of 20
The OAH Establishment Act permits agencies, boards, and commissions to refer cases to OAH
for adjudication with the approval of the OAH Chief Administrative Law Judge. D.C. Official
Code § 2-1831.03(c)(1). Prior to the establishment of the Committee, there were standing
Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between OAH and other agencies that referred cases
under this authority. To ensure that local funds allocated for adjudication in the agencies’
budgets followed the function, the MOUs required agencies to transfer local funding to OAH
using the intra-district transfer process. The Committee was charged with negotiating the
continuation of those MOUs in FY10. This responsibility was transferred to the Office of the
General Counsel for FY11.
The Committee’s primary focus is the development of a reimbursement rate and billing
convention that would allow OAH to claim federal funds for public benefit cases typically
referred to as “fair hearings” under federal law. While federal funds are available to cover a
substantial share of the salaries and administrative costs attendant to adjudicating these cases, the
District government did not claim these funds after the OAH Establishment Act transferred
responsibility for adjudicating these cases from the District government’s human services and
health care finance agencies to OAH. For FY10, the Committee shepherded the development of
a contract with Innovation Cost Solutions (ICS) for the development of a time reporting tool and
reimbursement rate that would withstand federal audit. The intent is to have OAH invoice the
District’s health care finance and human services agencies, who would claim the federal costs of
providing the adjudication services from the federal government and then transfer the federal
funds obtained to OAH. The Committee meets twice per month.
Website Committee
Chair: Attorney-Advisor Holly Kirk
Members: Judges Sharon Goodie, Nicholas Cobbs and John Rooney; Attorney-Advisors Janell
Smith and Meredith Saladyga; and IT Manager Phillip Fauci
The purpose of this Committee is to review the current website, update it and add new material.
Recently, the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) has scheduled OAH for website
migration to a new Content Management System. OAH is using this opportunity to review,
rewrite, and reorganize all of the content on the website to make it more user-friendly to parties.
The Committee ordinarily meets monthly. However with the current website migration project,
the Committee recently has been meeting weekly to meet an aggressive migration schedule.
OCTO had set a launch date for the new website of March 17, 2011. In early February, OCTO
informed OAH that the launch of the new website must be postponed while OCTO reviews the
stability of the servers hosting the new websites. OAH has not been informed of a new launch
schedule.
Case Management Committee
Chair: Judge Steven Wellner
Members: Judges Nicholas Cobbs, Elizabeth Figueroa, Jesse Goode, Audrey Jenkins, Margaret
Mangan, Beverly Nash, John Rooney, Ann Yahner; Attorney-Advisor Janell Smith; and IT
Manager Phillip Fauci
The Case Management Committee works to refine the court’s electronic case management
system that was implemented in 1Q 2010. The Committee’s objective is to help OAH meet case
processing goals based on legal standards for promptness and fairness and reasonable
expectations of government officials and the public. The Committee has made significant
progress in streamlining case processing through the development of electronic templates for
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary
March 14, 2011
Page 15 of 20
orders and notices. The Committee has also greatly improved case tracking and reporting
functions. Committee members participate in weekly conference calls with the case
management system vendor about specific modifications to the case management and document
management systems, and the full Committee meets monthly.
Pro Bono Committee
Chair: Judge Sharon Goodie
Members: Judges Claudia Crichlow and Beverly Nash; Attorney Karim Marshall (Capital City
Fellow)
The Pro Bono Committee is responsible for the expansion of OAH’s Language Access program.
Before FY11, the agency relied on Language Line, a service that provides interpreters by
telephone. Beginning in 1Q FY11, interpreters are onsite two days per week to provide
interpretation in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. The Committee also worked to help put in
place a contract for onsite interpreters for other languages. OAH has recently started translating
critical documents and forms into Spanish and Braille, and the Committee is in the process of
developing a protocol to prioritize the order in which to translate key documents.
Recommendations will be completed by summer 2011.
The Committee also manages the Pro Bono Panel which provides student lawyers from four area
law school clinics (American, Catholic, Georgetown and George Washington) to represent
parties at OAH. The Panel is already operating in the Unemployment Insurance jurisdiction, and
will be expanded to include public benefit matters from the Department of Human Services by
summer 2011. The Committee will also explore including law firm associates and government
attorneys on the Pro Bono Panel.
The Committee has also collaborated with Professor Faith Mullin of Catholic University’s
School of Law to design and implement the OAH Resource Center. Specific tasks on this
project include: (a) working with the D.C. Access to Justice Commission and the D.C. Bar to
recruit volunteer attorneys to work in the Resource Center assisting litigants in preparing for
their hearings; (b) designing and drafting fact sheets and information booklets for various
jurisdictions as well as for specific procedures, such as requesting a hearing; and (c) working
with the Office of Cable Television to produce two instructional videos directed at selfrepresented litigants that will be accessible on the OAH website as well as in the Resource
Center.
13.
The Committee had previously requested that OAH “commence bi-monthly stakeholder
meetings regarding access to justice.” OAH stated to the Committee a year ago that it
had started meeting with the Access to Justice Commission.
a. Do these bi-monthly meetings continue to take place?
b. Please provide the dates on which OAH met with stakeholders during the previous 12
months.
c. Are any other stakeholders invited and/or take part in these meetings?
d. What positive developments can be reported from these meetings?
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary

Page 16 of 20
OAH has had regular meetings with Access to Justice Commission members, including meetings
in February 2010, April 2010, and October 2010. Most recently, on February 15, 2011, OAH
met with Commission members including DC Court of Appeals Judges Inez Smith Reid and
Anna Blackburne-Rigsby to discuss Access to Justice initiatives, particularly as they relate to the
development and staffing of the OAH Resource Center. This meeting included a tour of Phase 1
of OAH’s new hearing facility. These meetings have been invaluable in gaining insight into the
needs of self-represented litigants, particularly as OAH develops and staffs its Resource Center.
Through these meetings, OAH has also developed various contacts for the various Pro Bono
Committee projects outlined above. In addition, through regular meetings of OAH’s various
operations task force meetings, we receive regular feedback from public and private stakeholders
on all operations issues, including Access to Justice issues.
14.
What is the status of Prof. Faith Mullen’s 2-year fellowship (Bellow Fellowship) aimed at
assisting OAH in becoming more accessible to unrepresented litigants? Are there
specific deliverables for this project? Please explain.
The two-year Bellow Fellowship for Professor Faith Mullen of Catholic University’s Columbus
School of Law ended in 1QFY11. Through this Fellowship, Professor Mullen and her staff
provided invaluable support in increasing Access to Justice at OAH, including developing
informational materials and forms, facilitating several OAH stakeholder focus group meetings,
and conducting surveys and analyses of the impact of certain OAH procedures on selfrepresented litigants. Although her Fellowship has now ended, Professor Mullen continues to
offer her expertise and assistance in the development of the OAH Resource Center and the OAH
website, as well as placing volunteer law students. Upon the completion of her first year of the
Fellowship in 2009, Professor Mullen submitted an interim report summarizing her activities to
date. A copy of that report is attached. Professor Mullen expects to complete her final report on
or about April 30, 2011.
15.
The Committee report for PR 18-694 included a number of tasks for OAH with specified
deadlines. The last of these tasks was to be completed by February 2011. A chart
containing these tasks is copied below. For each task, please explain what OAH is doing,

Please provide the name of each “O-type” fund the OAH controls. The committee knows
of at least one. For each, provide for fiscal years 2007-2011 (to date): the opening
balance, expenditures, revenues, and closing balance. Also explain the purpose of the
fund. Should it be continued? If it is a non-lapsing fund, and it is continued, why should
it remain non-lapsing?
OAH controls one “O-Type” fund, Adjudication and Fees. This is a non-lapsing account that was
created to support the administrative adjudication services performed by OAH. Revenue for this
fund comes from one source: “reasonable filing, copying and other fees.” D.C. Official Code
§ 2-1831.05(b)(8). Such fees cannot be charged to the D.C. government or the U.S. government,
and include charges for transcription services, FOIA requests, and digital recordings of hearings.
The Adjudication and Fees “O-type” should fund be continued as a non-lapsing fund. Though
nominal, this fund allows for OAH to recover administrative costs associated with the
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary

adjudication of cases. Given the infrequent nature of requests, we also recommend that this fund
remain as a lapsing fund as it will be difficult to obligate the funds by a date certain.

The OAH is moving into newly built-out space. There was at one time a plan with
multiple phases. The Committee has been concerned whether the OAH would have
enough space, and whether it would be able to expand. Please comment, in detail, on the
move, the adequacy of the space, what is left to be done, and what else should be done.
Phased Relocation
On January 14, 2011, OAH and DRES convened a status meeting to discuss the phased
relocation approach. During this meeting, OAH reiterated the operational inefficiencies
associated with a two-phased move, particularly since the second phase of the move had not been
determined at the time. OAH currently occupies temporary space on four disparate floors (5, 7,
8 and 10) of OJS. OAH communicated concern with the negative impact to agency operations
that would result, particularly when the agency is already temporarily displaced.
DRES agreed to consolidate the proposed phased move approach to one move. The original date
for Phase 1 relocation was scheduled for February 18, 2011 with Phase 2 still yet to be
determined. DRES committed to honoring the agency’s request and revised the move date to
July 22, 2011.
Phase 1 construction continued as planned and was completed on February 25, 2011. OH and
DRES agreed that after this date, the Suite (450N) would remain locked and inaccessible until
Phase 2 is complete. DRES communicated that Phase 2 construction is slated to start on May 15,
2011 and conclude no later than July 7, 2011.
Adequacy of Space
When completed, Phases 1 and 2 of the construction will be adequate to meet OAH’s current
space needs, but not its needs in the immediate future. OAH wants to ensure that the new
location will not only be able to accommodate FTEs, but also the significant number of
volunteers that complement our staff. Although our agency is understaffed, we have made every
effort to identify free resources to augment our staff. This includes high school, undergraduate
and law school interns, ex-offender volunteers through DOES’ Project Empowerment program
and a Capital City Fellow.
Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary

Throughout the selection process for OAH’s consolidated hearing facility, a recurring concern
raised by this Committee was whether the selected space would permit for expansion of OAH’s
operations. Whether by legislation or requests from sister agencies, OAH is continually
expanding the scope of its caseload. In addition, future initiatives relating to foreclosure
mediation and increasing Access to Justice for litigants will require additional space. DRES
repeatedly represented that OAH could expand on the 4th floor as needed. Given the delays
associated with the build-out of Phase 2 of the consolidated project – delays due primarily to the
need to relocate and build-out facilities for existing tenants – the flexibility envisioned with
expanding OAH’s operations at this location is less clear. OAH stands ready to cooperate with
the Executive and Council to resolve these space issues.
Outstanding Items
OAH is currently engaged with the Office of the Chief Technology Officer’s (OCTO) Server
Operations (Server Architecture), IT Servus (IT Support) and DC NET (Voice/Data
Connectivity) groups to define requirements, verify costs and services and establish an MOU for
the provision of services. OAH anticipates the execution of the MOUs no later than the end of
March 2011 to ensure that the agency will be fully operational by the July 22, 2011 move date.
The number of volunteers will vary, but at full capacity we would need to accommodate
approximately 90-100 staff.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at
442-9099.
Very truly yours,
