Senate Petition 17
A petition by 19 residents of La Crosse, Wisconsin in opposition to Senate Bill 537, Relating to service of arrest warrants.
By
Senator
Rude
.
To committee on Judiciary.
Department of Administration
March 15, 1996
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) 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 February, 1996.
On February 16, 1996 the Petro Storage Fund balance was -$73 thousand. This shortfall continued until February 20, 1996 when the balance reached +$8.8 million. The shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Petro Storage Fund shortfall was not in excess of the $400 million ceiling 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.
Sincerely,
James r. Klauser
Secretary
Referred to joint committee on Finance.
