8. Terry Schwerm @ Shoreview <br /> We place a little toll booth at the entrance to each one of our parks and charge kids 25 <br /> cents each time they enter the park. It raised$6.8 million dollars last year. Actually, we <br /> just fund our park maintenance out of our general fund (tax dollars),mew park <br /> development out of our Capital Improvement Fund(combination of funding sources) and <br /> replacement items from our General Fixed Asset Revolving Fund(primarily tax dollars). <br /> The City did a comprehensive park and trail development referendum in 1988 that passed <br /> nearly 2 to ,but would probably be difficult to pass today with the changing <br /> demographics in the community. <br /> 9.
