Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
October 30, 2003
To 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 September 2003.
On September 1, 2003, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $400.5 million. The negative balance continued until September 22, 2003, when the fund cash balance closed at a positive $137.4 million. The General Fund closed at an intramonth low of a negative $654.8 million on September 15, 2003.
On September 25, 2003, the Agricultural Chemical Cleanup Fund cash balance closed at its monthly low of a negative $125.0 thousand. This negative balance continued through September 30, 2003, when the balance closed at a negative $125.0 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund and the Agricultural Chemical Cleanup Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitation 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,
Marc J. Marotta
Secretary
Referred to committee on Ways and Means.

Gathering Waters Conservancy
Madison
November 1, 2003
To the Honorable, the Assembly:
It is my pleasure to share with you a report on Gathering Waters Conservancy's activities and accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2003. This report is being submitted in accordance with the statutory requirements of s.
23.0955 (2)(b)5. Gathering Waters Conservancy has had an extremely successful year, thanks to the ongoing support of the state legislature and the Department of Natural Resources.
There are now over 50 land trusts in the state. Together these organizations have permanently protected over 125,000 acres in communities across Wisconsin. Land trusts in Wisconsin have a combined membership of 45,000 individuals and thousands of local volunteers; they have raised millions of dollars to protect critical lands that benefit the public; and they work with private landowners every day to promote stewardship and protection of our natural resources.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Department and the state legislature to achieve our mutual conservation goals. Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional information. I have also attached Gathering Waters Conservancy's annual and financial reports for FY 2003 for your review.
Sincerely,
Vicki Elkin
Executive Director
Referred to committee on Natural Resources.
