Department of Administration
March 10, 1997
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, 1997.
On February 1, 1997 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$3 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$4 thousand on February 13, 1997 and continued until February 20, 1997 when the balance reached $19 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On February 4, 1997 the Wisconsin Petroleum Inspection Fund balance was -$1.41 million. this shortfall increased to -$1.95 million on February 19, 1997 and continued until February 20, 1997 when the balance reached $6.89 million. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On February 11, 1997 the Information Technology Investment Fund balance was -$556 thousand. This shortfall decreased to -$550 thousand on February 24, 1997 and continued through the end of the month. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment, Wisconsin Petroleum Inspection and Information Technology Investment Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the $400 million ceiling and did not exceed the balances of the Funds available for interfund borrowing. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
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,
Mark D. Bugher
Secretary
Referred to the joint committee on Finance.
