<br />The population factor recognizes the need to provide funds for park capital improvements to serve
<br />every person in the region relatively equally. Using non -local visits as a factor recognizes that these
<br />regional parks serve a regional and state -wide population. Therefore, a combination of both factors is
<br />accounted for in the Regional Parks CIP formula.
<br />The results of this formula determine the amount each regional park implementing agency could
<br />request/receive from the Regional Parks CIP. For example, if Anoka County's share of the Regional
<br />Parks CIP is 10 %, then 10% of appropriations would be granted to Anoka County for its projects in the
<br />CIP.
<br />As noted above, the 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan must include a five -year capital improvement
<br />program plan (Table 5 -1). The intent is to outline the funding strategy for the relative near term, such
<br />that regional park implementing agencies can use the information in their planning. These figures are
<br />subject to change based upon legislative action.

<br />Uses of Funds
<br />The revision of the Council's five -year capital improvement program plan is considered to be a
<br />substantial revision to the policy plan and will follow the Council's administrative procedures on
<br />amending a policy plan.
<br />Parks and Trails Legacy Fund
<br />In November 2008, Minnesota citizens approved a constitutional amendment, commonly called the
<br />Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. The amendment created a new 3 /8ths cent sales tax to be
<br />collected from July 2009 -June 2034. Revenue from the sales tax is placed into four dedicated accounts.
<br />One of those accounts is called the Parks and Trails Fund.
<br />The constitutional amendment states:
