Department of Administration
August 11, 2000
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 2000.
On July 1, 2000 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$11 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$12 thousand on July 7, 2000, to -$13 thousand on July 12, 2000, and continued until July 25, 2000 when the balance reached $9 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment fund shortfall was 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 Lightbourn
Secretary
