Department of Administration
August 28, 2001
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 2001.
On July 23, 2001 the General Fund balance was -$148.6 million. This shortfall continued until July 31, 2001 when the balance reached a positive $3.4 million. During this period, the General Fund balance reached a low of -$162.1 million on July 25, 2001. This shortfall was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures that occurs each July, and the delay in issuing the 2001 Operating Note.
On July 6, 2001 the College Savings Program Trust Fund balance was -$2 thousand. This shortfall continued until July 31, 2001 when the balance reached a positive $48 thousand. The shortfall was due to the initial start-up of the fund and a delay in the transfer of revenues into the fund.
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
Referred to the joint committee on Finance.
