February 29, 1996
The Honorable, The Legislature:
S641
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 January, 1996.
On January 1, 1996 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$22 thousand. This shortfall continued until January 22, 1996 when the balance reached +$214 thousand. The shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On January 17, 1996 the University Trust-Principle Fund balance was -$14.2 million. This shortfall continued until January 22, 1996 when the balance reached +$14.2 million. This shortfall was due to a delayed transfer.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund and University Trust-Principle Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the $400 million ceiling and did not exceed the balance 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.
Sincerely,
James R. Klauser
Secretary
Referred to joint committee on Finance.
