Department of Administration
February 28, 2006
The Honorable, The Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f) of the Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under sec. 13.172(3) Stats.), and confirms that the Department of Administration has found it necessary to exercise the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative balances during the month of January 2006.
On January 1, 2005, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $118.9 million. This negative balance continued until January 13, 2006, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $53.3 million. The General Fund cash balance reached its intramonth low of 173.7 million on January 11, 2006. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund shortfall was not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitations and did not exceed the balances of the funds available for interfund borrowing.
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority, and as a result, the funds requiring the use of the authority will effectively bear the interest cost.
Sincerely,
stephen e. bablitch
