State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
February 28, 2003
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 January 2003.
On January 2, 2003, the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund cash balance closed at a negative $2 thousand. The negative balance continued through January 31, 2003, when the fund cash balance closed at a negative $5 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures. This fund's cash balance periodically falls negative due to the fact revenues are drawn only after expenditures are realized.
On January 23, 2003, the Tobacco Control Fund cash balance closed at a negative $21 thousand. The negative balance continued through January 31, 2003, when the fund cash balance closed at a negative $250 thousand. The negative balance was due to the delay of a statutory funding transfer, which has since been corrected.
On January 31, 2003, the University Trust - Principal Fund cash balance closed at a negative $181 thousand. The negative balance was due to the miscoding of a transaction, which has since been corrected.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, Tobacco Control Fund, and the University Trust - Principal 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, and as a result, the funds requiring the use of the authority will effectively bear the interest cost.
Sincerely,
Marc J. Marotta
Secretary
Referred to the joint committee on Finance.
