Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
October 22, 1999
To 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 1999.
On September 21, 1999 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$1 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$2 thousand on September 29, 1999 and continued into the month of October. As of the date of this letter, it is expected to be resolved before the end of November. This shortfall is due to the timing of revenues.
On September 3, 1999 the Support Collection Trust Fund balance was -$39 thousand. This shortfall continued until September 7, 1999 when the balance reached $246 thousand. On September 17, 1999 the balance was -$1.15 million. This shortfall continued until September 20, 1999 when the balance reached $1.67 million. These shortfalls were due to delays in the processing of daily receipts.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund and the Support Collection Trust 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.
Sincerely,
George Lightborn
Acting Secretary
Referred to committee on Ways and Means.
