Building Commission
April 3, 2001
The Honorable, The Legislature:
Section
13.48(2)(e) stipulates that the State of Wisconsin Building Commission shall report to the Legislature at each regular session the progress on projects authorized in the two preceding and current biennia. This report is submitted in accordance with that provision and covers the period from July 1995 through December 2000. Projects having budgets over $100,000 are listed in detail. Those of lesser amounts have been grouped for each agency as one item for the biennium in which they were authorized.
In summary, during this five and one-half year period, the Building Commission approved projects with a total value of $1,624,906,548.88. Of that amount, $1,215,617,871.19 has been spent or encumbered, leaving a balance of $409,288,677.69 to be used to complete projects in progress. The sources of funds for the projects are either cash or borrowed funds which flow through the Building Trust Fund, the Capital Improvement Fund, or agency operating budgets.
S143
Each section of this report is organized by the state agency for which the facilities are being built. The Wisconsin State Controller's Office and user agencies have provided information presented in this report. Building Commission staff has not attempted to verify the figures that were obtained by user agencies. The staff has merely assembled the material provided by each agency and presents it for your review.
Sincerely,
DAvid P. Schmiedicke

Investment Board
March 29, 2001
The Honorable, The Legislature:
Pursuant to ss.
25.17(14g) and
(14m), Stats., I have attached a copy of the annual report to the Legislature regarding goals, long-term strategies and performance. As we did last year, we have combined the two reports to make it easier to understand the relationship between our strategies and performance.
I want to thank the Legislature for the increased budgetary authority that we received in the 1999-2000 biennial budget. It has allowed us to implement an improved compensation program, which in turn helps us to be more successful in retaining and recruiting experienced investment personnel. With the increased authority, we are beginning to move more funds in-house for management.
Please contact me if you have questions about this report or other matters.
Sincerely,
Patricia Lipton
Executive Director
State of Wisconsin
Department of Public Instruction
March 22, 2001
The Honorable, The Senate:
As required under s.
115.361, Wis. Stats., the Department of Public Instruction must evaluate the effectiveness of alcohol and other drug prevention strategies most commonly used in Wisconsin schools and funded through grants appropriated by the legislature.
The department has completed an annual report of these activities conducted by the state's public schools. A copy of the final report of the study is enclosed. The report, which covers the 1999-2000 school year, focuses on whether or not programs that began with categorical funds were sustainable as well as how programs were modified from their originally proposed objectives. A summary of the number of individuals served through each unique strategy used by schools is included.
If you have any questions regarding the findings, please call Steve Fernan at (608) 266-3889.
Sincerely,
JOHN T. BENSON
