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 March 2007.
On March 30, 2007, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $37.3 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On March 1, 2007, the Conservation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $4.3 million. This negative balance continued through March 15, 2007, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $19.2 million. The Conservation Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $5.9 million on March 7, 2007. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On March 1, 2007, the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund cash balance closed at a negative $2.0 thousand. This negative balance continued through March 30, 2007, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $2.0 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund, Conservation Fund and Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment 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,
Michael L. Morgan
Secretary
Referred to joint committee on Finance.
