To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Community Integration Program (CIP) for residents of State Centers was created by
1983 Wisconsin Act 27. According to s.
46.275 of the Wisconsin statutes, this program is intended:
...to relocate persons from the state centers for the developmentally disabled into appropriate community settings with the assistance of home and community-based services and with continuity of care. The intent of the program is also to minimize its impact on state employees through redeployment of employees into vacant positions.
Under Wisconsin statutes s.
46.275 (5m), the Department is required to submit an annual report to the Joint Committee on Finance and to the Chief Clerk of each house of the Legislature describing the program's impact during the prior calendar year on state employees, including the Department's efforts to redeploy employees into vacant positions and the number of employees laid off.
During calendar year 2009, Southern Wisconsin Center and Central Wisconsin Center have relocated 9 center residents into the community under the CIP program. There were no employee layoffs as the result of these placements. However, the Department redeployed 24 employees into other vacant positions dedicated to providing care to persons who continue to reside at the Center.
Sincerely,
Karen E. Timberlake
Secretary
Referred to committee on Aging and Long-Term Care.

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 January 2010.
On January 1, 2010, the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $12.7 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through January 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $9.1 million. The negative balance was due to the transfer of $200 million to the Medical Assistance Trust Fund per
2007 Wisconsin Act 20, and the pending liquidation of fund securities necessary to offset this shortfall.
On January 1, 2010, the Utility Public Benefits Fund cash balance closed at a negative $10.9 million. This negative balance continued through January 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $14.1 million (its intra-month low). The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On January 1, 2010, the Permanent Endowment Fund cash balance closed at a negative $2.0 million. This negative balance continued through January 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $2.0 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On January 1, 2010, the Workers Compensation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $4.1 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through January 19, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $782 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On January 1, 2010, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $70.4 million. This negative balance continued through January 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $97.0 million (its intra-month low). The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On January 1, 2010, the Police and Fire Protection Fund cash balance closed at a negative $32.2 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through January 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $29.7 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
