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 July, 1998.
On July 1, 1999 the University Trust-Principal Fund balance was -$204 thousand. This shortfall continued until July 6, 1999 when the balance reached $187 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On July 6, 1999 the Support Collection Trust Fund balance was -$5.50 million. This shortfall continued until July 7, 1999 when the balance reached $837 thousand. On July 8, 1999 the balance was -$2.30 million. This shortfall continued until July 9, 1999 when the balance reached $1.03 million. On July 14, 1999 the balance was -$1.36 million. This shortfall continued until July 15, 1999 when the balance reached $1.51 million. These shortfalls were due to the timing of revenues.
On July 14, 1999 the Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan Fund balance was -$15 thousand. This shortfall continued until July 26, 1999 when the balance reached $27 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The University Trust-Principal Fund, Support Collection Trust Fund, and Wisconsin Health Insurance Risk Sharing Plan 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,
Mark D. Bugher
Secretary
