Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
September 30, 2005
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
A523 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 August 2005.
On August 1, 2005, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $410.0 million. The fund's negative cash balance continued until August 30, 2005, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $12.3 million. The General Fund cash balance reached its intramonth low of a negative $589.2 million on August 10, 2005. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On August 1, 2005, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at its intramonth low of a negative $2.2 million. The fund's negative cash balance continued until August 23, 2005, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $0.6 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On August 24, 2005, the Tuition Trust Fund cash balance closed at its intramonth low of a negative $116 thousand. This negative balance continued until August 26, 2005, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $84 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund, and the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitations 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 committee on Ways and Means.
