Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS11380

This bill is the FY 2003 appropriation for the Department of Parks and Recreation. This agency received a permanent 5.8% base reduction in General Funds, which will impact seasonal help and some park services, but to the extent possible, dedicated funds, federal funds, and partnerships with local entities, have been leveraged to minimize the impacts.

All of the budget enhancements, except one, are funded from dedicated park funds and will continue the critical maintenance, repair and operation of the state park system. There will be some losses of seasonal help in the park system and some reductions in services, but to the extent possible this budget utilizes all available dedicated and federal fund sources to offset those impacts. The only new General Fund item is the $400,000 included for the bond payment for the new Billingsly Creek state park acquisitions. The actual bond payment will be $480,000 but $80,000 will be provided by the University of Idaho Hagerman Research Center (legislative intent in section 7). Sections 8 and 9 appropriate dedicated funds for the Lava Hot Springs facility.
