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 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 October, 1996.
On October 3, 1996 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$1 thousand. This shortfall continued through the end of the month. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On October,3, 1996 the Wisconsin Information Technology Service Fund balances was -1.54 million. This shortfall continued through the end of the month. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund and Information Technology Services 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 klauser
Secretary
