The Honorable, The Legislature:
Under the requirements of s.
16.705(8) Wis. Stat., the Department of Administration must report to the Governor, the Joint Committee on Finance, the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, and the Chief Clerk of each house for distribution to the appropriate standing committee under s.13.172.(3), Wis. Stat., a report concerning the number, value and nature of contractual service procurements authorized for each agency during the preceding fiscal year. Enclosed is the report for fiscal year 1994-95.
This report follows, with few modifications, the format of the previous years' reports. The modifications are 1). The total number of contractual services purchase orders are specified for each state agency; and 2). Contractual Services are listed in alphabetical order rather than in numerical order. Both changes make the report easier for the reader to use.
The staff of the Department of Administration's State Bureau of Procurement are available to provide any further explanation or assistance.
Sincerely,
james r. klauser
Secretary

The Honorable, The Senate:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f) of the Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committee 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 April, 1996.
On April 1, 1996 the Wisconsin Lottery Fund balance was -$9.6 million. This shortfall continued until April 25, 1996 when the balance reached $1.3 million. On April 29, 1996 the Wisconsin Lottery Fund balance was -$1.8 million. This shortfall continued through the end of the month. These shortfalls were due to the timing of revenues.
On April 30, 1996 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$3 thousand. This shortfall continued until April 30, 1996 when the balance reached $15 thousand. The shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Lottery Fund and Health Education Loan Repayment Fund shortfalls were 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.
