The Honorable, The Senate:
I'm writing to notify you that, as President of the State Senate under Section
14.90 of the Wisconsin Statutes, I have named Senator Bob Jauch as the State Senate's appointment to the Midwestern Education Commission.
It is my understanding that the Department of Administration provides staff services for this Commission and I ask that the appropriate individuals be notified of Senator Jauch's appointment.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Senator Fred Risser

The Honorable, The Senate:
Pursuant to Section
15.227(24)(a)5r Wis. Stats., I am appointing Senator Margaret Farrow to serve as the Senate Minority designee on the Governor's Council on Workforce Excellence.
Sincerely,
MicHael Ellis
Senate Minority Leader

Department of Administration

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 September, 1997.
On September 19, 1997 the Wisconsin Petroleum Inspection Fund balance was -$1.67 million. This shortfall continued until September 22, 1997 when the balance reached $7.12 million. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Petroleum Inspection Fund shortfall was 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
