Department of Health and Family Services

The Honorable, The Senate:
1989 Wisconsin Act 31, Section
1118i, requires the Department of Health and Family Services to submit to the chief clerk of each house of the Legislature a report on the allocation and expenditure of funds for services for homeless individuals. Attached is the Department's seventh annual report.
Departmental staff are available if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary
State of Wisconsin
Department of Health and Family Services
August 22, 1997
The Honorable, The Senate:
S249
As required in Sections
227.485(9) and
814.245(10) of the Wis. Stats., I am submitting the report concerning decisions and resulting payments of Attorney fees and related legal costs. Attorney fees and other legal costs are to be paid whenever the opposing party to an agency's Chapter
227 hearing prevails and it is determined the agency's position was not substantially justified. Payments for SFY 1997 are shown on the attached schedule.
In addition, the Department is required to report any awards granted to the Department regarding frivolous motions brought against this Department. If the hearing examiner determines that the motion of the opposing party in any Chapter
227 contested case is frivolous, the examiner may award the state agency all reasonable costs in responding to the motion. In SFY 1997, no motions of opposing parties were found to be frivolous. Consequently, the Department has no awards to report.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary
State of Wisconsin
Gaming Board

The Honorable, The Legislature:
Included with this correspondence, I am submitting the quarterly report of the Wisconsin Gaming Board (Board), for the year ending June 30, 1997. As required by s.562.02(1)(g), Wis. Stats., the attached materials contain pari-mutuel wagering and racing statistical information as well as the revenues and expenditures for the Board's Racing, Charitable Gaming and Indian Gaming programs.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact me at (608)266-1645.
