Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison
February 12, 2001
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f), Wis. Stats. (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under sec. 13.172(3), Wis. 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 2001.
On January 1, 2001 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$11 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$13 thousand on January 17, 2001, decreased to -$2 thousand on January 24, 2001, and continued into the month of February. As of the date of this letter, it is expected to be resolved soon. This shortfall is due to the timing of revenues.
On January 1, 2001 the Utility Public Benefits Fund balance was -$3.18 million. This shortfall decreased to -$1.76 million on January 4, 2001, increased to -$2.13 million on January 11, 2001, to -$3.08 million on January 23, 2001, to -$4.24 million on January 30, 2001, and continued into the month of February. As of the date of this letter, it is expected to be resolved soon. This shortfall is due to the timing of revenues.
On January 25, 2001 the University Trust-Income Fund balance was -$32 thousand. This shortfall decreased to -$24 thousand on January 26, 2001 and continued until January 29, 2001 when the balance reached $1.95 million. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, Utility Public Benefits Fund, and University Trust-Income Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitation 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,
George Lightbourn
Secretary
Referred to committee on Ways and Means.
