Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
June 19, 2002
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
A882
This report is transmitted as required by s.
20.002(11)(f), Wisconsin Statutes (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under s.
13.172(3), Wisconsin Statutes), 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 May 2002.
On May 8, 2002 the General Fund balance was -$4.7 million. This shortfall continued until May 9, 2002 when the balance reached a positive $66.5 million. The shortfall was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures, in combination with the overall budget shortfall.
On May 23, 2002 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$1 thousand. This shortfall continued through May 31, 2002. The shortfall was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund and the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment 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.
