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 March 2012.
On March 1, 2012, the Conservation Fund cash balance closed at a negative $3.5 million. The cash balance was negative until March 14, 2012, when it closed at a positive $l.6 million. The Conservation Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $5.8 million on March 8, 2012.
On March 1, 2012, the Medical Assistance Trust Fund cash balance closed at a negative $2.1 million (its intra-month low). The cash balance was negative until March 20, 2012, when it closed at a positive $313 thousand.
On March 26, 2012, the Lottery Fund cash balance closed at a negative $4.2 million. The cash balance was negative through March 31, 2012, when it closed at a negative $122 thousand. The Lottery Fund cash balance reached its intra-month low of a negative $6.0 million on March 29, 2012.
The Conservation Fund, Medical Assistance Trust Fund and Lottery Fund shortfalls were due to the difference in the timing of revenues and expenditures, were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitations and did not exceed the balances of the funds available for interfund borrowing.
A1019
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,
Mike Huebsch
Secretary
Referred to committee on Ways and Means and joint committee on Finance.
