Department of Administration
September 30, 2005
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) 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 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 cahs 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 Tuition Trust 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.
