To the Honorable, the Legislature:
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 cash balances during the month of July 2004.
On July 1, 2004, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $102.2 million. The fund's negative cash balance continued intermittently through July 31, 2004, when the fund's cash balance closed at an intramonth low of a negative $431.4 million. The negative balance was due to a difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On July 1, 2004, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $199.1 million. The fund's negative cash balance continued through July 31, 2004, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $199.4 million. The fund closed at its intramonth low of a negative $206.1 million on July 14, 2004. The negative balance was due to a difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
