WHEREAS, on July 9, 2003, Sgt. 1st Class Dan Henry Gabrielson of Frederic, Wisconsin, a member of the United States Army Reserve, 652nd Engineer Company, was killed when his convoy was attacked in Iraq; and

By the governor:
DOUGLAS LA FOLLETTE
Secretary of State
State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration
June 30, 2003
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 May 2003.
On May 30, 2003, the Recycling Fund cash balance closed at a negative $3.4 million. The negative balance was due to the difference in the timing of revenue and expenditures.
The Recycling fund shortfall was 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, and as a result, the funds requiring the use of the authority will effectively bear the interest cost.
Sincerely,
Marc J. Marotta
Secretary
