Dear Chief Clerk Fuller:
On Monday afternoon, I mistakenly left Representative Albers off the list of co-sponsors of Assembly Joint Resolution 66. Since it was my error, I would appreciate it if you could add her as an original co-sponsor of this constitutional amendment.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jolene R. Churchill

Referral of Agency Reports
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
Madison

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by s.
20.002(11)(f), Wisconsin Statutes, (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under s.
13.172(3), Wisconsin Statutes), 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 cash balances during the month of December 2003.
On December 1, 2003, the General Fund cash balance closed at a negative $185.0 million. The negative balance continued until December 15, 2003, when the balance closed at a positive $35.2 million. The General Fund cash balance reached its monthly low of a negative $200.3 million on December 11, 2003. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
On December 1, 2003, the Agricultural Chemical Cleanup Fund cash balance closed at its monthly low of a negative $115.0 thousand. The negative balance continued until December 10, 2003, when the balance closed at a positive $9.0 thousand. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
A700
On December 23, 2003, the
Historic Preservation Partnership Fund cash balance closed at its monthly low of a negative $6.0 thousand. The negative balance continued until December 29, 2003, when the balance closed at a positive $36.0 thousand. The negative balance was due to the startup of the fund and a difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures.
The General Fund, Agricultural Chemical Cleanup Fund, and the Historic Preservation Partnership Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitations 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, and as a result, the funds requiring the use of the authority will effectively bear the interest cost.
