Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
March 15, 2001
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f), Wis. Stats. (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under sec. 13.172(3), Wis. 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 February 2001.
On February 1, 2001 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$2 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$4 thousand on February 13, 2001, to -$5 thousand on February 14, 2001, and continued into the month of March. As of the date of this letter, it is expected to be resolved soon. This shortfall is due to the timing of revenues.
On February 1, 2001 the Utility Public Benefits Fund balance was -$4.24 million. This shortfall decreased to -$905 thousand on February 8, 2001, increased to -$1.44 million on February 16, 2001, to -$2.17 million on February 22, 2001, and to -$2.76 million on February 27, 2001. This shortfall continued until March 6, 2001 when the balance reached $425 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund and Utility Public Benefits 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.
