Department of Administration
September 8, 1997
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 August, 1997.
On August 1, 1997 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$13 thousand. This shortfall continued until August 8, 1997 when the balance reached $2 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On August 1, 1997 the Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan Fund balance was -$1 thousand. This shortfall continued until August 6, 1997 when the balance reached $85 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment and Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan 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

The Honorable, The Legislature:
Enclosed please find the Miller Park monthly progress report for the month of August 1997 for your review and consideration.
S277
Of important note during the month of August 1997 was the development of the Miller Park Design Development Budget. Based on significant, recent design efforts, we worked diligently with the Milwaukee Brewers, the designers and the construction manager to further detail and define the estimated costs of construction for Miller Park and the project budget necessary to address those costs. We are proud to report that the recently documented Miller Park Design Development Budget is consistent with the project budget we had previously established prior to our ground breaking last fall.
As our August 1997 progress report indicates, Miller Park continues to move forward as a quality facility, on time, within budget, and with meaningful project participation. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding the enclosed progress report.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Duckett P.E., R. L. S.
