<br />In 2000, legislation was enacted that directed a portion of state lottery proceeds into a "natural
<br />resources fund," with the stipulation that a portion of the receipts deposited "may be spent only on
<br />metropolitan park and trail grants." This funding source is commonly called "lottery in lieu of sales tax"
<br />revenue (Minn. Stat. 297A.94(e)(3)). The Council disburses the appropriations from these two sources
<br />to the regional park implementing agencies based on the results of the formula contained in Minn. Stat.
<br />473.351.
<br />Table 5 -2 illustrates the amount of appropriations disbursed to the regional park implementing agencies
<br />in relation to the total costs to operate and maintain the Regional Parks System from 1985 to 2013.
<br />Pass - through Grants Financed with State Bonds
<br />Some state bonding legislation appropriates funds for specific capital improvements to
<br />the regional park system that are passed- through the Council to the specified regional
<br />park implementing agency. These appropriations are typically for projects that have
<br />state -wide significance, for example appropriations to improve the Como Zoo and
<br />Marjorie McNeely Conservatory.
