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 December 2000.
On December 1, 2000 the Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund balance was -$9 thousand. This shortfall increased to -$11 thousand on December 19, 2000 and continued into the month of January. As of the date of this letter, it is expected to be resolved soon. This shortfall is due to the timing of revenues.
On December 1, 2000 the Utility Public Benefits Fund balance was -$3.63 million. This shortfall decreased to -$1.36 million on December 6, 2000, increased to -$2.16 million on December 19, to -$3.18 million on December 29, 2000, and continued into the month of January. As of the date of this letter, it is expected to be resolved soon. This shortfall is due to the timing of revenues.
On December 4, 2000 the General Fund balance was -$73.53 million. This shortfall increased to -$123.27 million on December 7, 2000, decreased to -$60.57 million on December 14, 2000, and continued until December 18, 2000 when the balance reached $98.94 million. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Wisconsin Health Education Loan Repayment Fund, Utility Public Benefits Fund, and General 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.
A67
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.
