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 /> Funds include general obligation bonds issued by the state, Parks and Trails Legacy Fund appropriations, and Environment
<br /> and Natural Resources Trust Fund appropriations.
<br /> 2 Funds include Council general obligation bonds issued by the Council.
<br /> 3 Interest earned by the Council. Interest earned must be granted to North Mississippi Regional Park(Laws of Minnesota 1985,
<br /> First Special Session, Chap. 15, Sec. 5, Subd. 2(b)and Laws of Minnesota 1987, Chapter 384,Article 3, Sec. 45).
<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.
