The Honorable, The Legislature:
With this letter, I am forwarding to you the annual report of the Bureau of Justice Information Systems (BJIS) in compliance with s.
16.971 (9), Stats. The Bureau of Justice Information Systems is a key component of the State of Wisconsin's enterprise approach to technology and focuses specifically on improving public safety and justice through the efficient use of technology.
S929
The enclosed report is the
first BJIS Annual Report as the bureau is a new organization. BJIS was created to fulfill the Governor's and Legislatures' goal, as outlined in
1995 Wisconsin Act 27, to improve and coordinate the sharing of information among state and county justice agencies. I am pleased to report that the bureau has made great strides this past year both in implementing a computer system for district attorneys and in fostering cooperative working relationships among diverse agencies. Particularly noteworthy is the landmark joint effort of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Department of Administration in working together to provide technical support for district attorney automation. This significant partnership represents a new approach to government operations and reflects the bureau's unique purpose.
If additional copies are required, please contact Alison Poe, Director, Bureau of Justice Information Systems at 264-9312.
Sincerely,
Mark D. Bugher
Secretary
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration

The Honorable, The Senate:
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 November, 1996.
On November 1, 1996 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$1 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$2 thousand on November 18, 1996 and continued through the end of the month. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On November 1, 1996 the Wisconsin Information Technology Services Fund balance was -$1.54 million. This shortfall continued until November 4, 1996 when the balance reached $114 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On November 13, 1996 the Wisconsin Petroleum Inspection Fund balance was -$842 thousand. This shortfall continued until November 21, 1996 when the balance reached $7.21 million. this shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, Information Technology Services Fund and Petroleum Inspection Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the $400 million ceiling 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.
Sincerely,
Mark D. Bugher
Secretary
Referred to joint committee on Finance.
