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 March 2010.
On March 1, 2010, the Utility Public Benefits Fund cash balance closed at a negative $9.5 million. This negative balance continued through March 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $12.4 million. The Utility Public Benefits Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $12.5 million on March 29, 2010. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On March 1, 2010, the Permanent Endowment Fund cash balance closed at a negative $2.0 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through March 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 March 1, 2010, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $227.3 million. This negative balance continued through March 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $315.0 million. The Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $316.1 million on March 23, 2010. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On March 1, 2010, the Police and Fire Protection Fund cash balance closed at a negative $23.1 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through March 31, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a negative $19.4 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On March 1, 2010, the Conservation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $27.8 million (its intra-month low). This negative balance continued through March 15, 2010, when the fund's cash balance closed at a positive $37.1 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The Utility Public Benefits Fund, Permanent Endowment Fund, Medical Assistance Trust Fund, Police and Fire Protection Fund and Conservation 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,
Michael L. Morgan
Secretary
Referred to committee on Ways and Means and joint committee on Finance.
