The Honorable, The Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by s.
20.002(11)(f), Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under s.
13.172(3), Wisconsin Statutes) 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 cash balances during the month of July 2010.
On July 26, 2010, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $123.0 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through July 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $84.4 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On July 1, 2010, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $253.1 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through July 29, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $4.2 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
S855
On July 1, 2010, the
Police and Fire Protection Fund cash balance closed at a negative $5.0 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through July 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $1.0 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On July 1, 2010, the Environmental Fund cash balance closed at a negative $10.7 million. This negative balance continued through July 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $10.6 million. The Environmental Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $13.0 million on July 22, 2010. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund, Medical Assistance Trust Fund, Police and Fire Protection Fund, and Environmental Fund shortfalls were 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,
Daniel j. schoof
Secretary
Referred to joint committee on Finance.
