The Honorable, The Senate:
This letter is to rescind the nomination of Gregory Morris that was made June 3, 2003 for the Dentistry Examining Board.

To the Honorable, the Senate:

Department of Administration
August 4, 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 June 2003.
On June 1, 2003, the Recycling Fund cash balance closed at its monthly low of a negative $3.4 million. The negative balance continued until June 30, 2003, when the balance closed at a positive $3.0 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On June 16, 2003, the General Fund cash balance closed at its monthly low of a negative $735.4 million. The negative balance continued through June 30, 2003, when the balance closed at a negative $301.1 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The Recycling Fund and the General 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.
