Revenues
|
The DNR will deposit an estimated $27.4 million for fiscal years 2004 and 2005. Federal receipts can be the result of research and special project agreements; grants for boat and water safety, trail development and wildlife habitat protection; and expense reimbursements following a FEMA-declared natural disaster. Federal funds can vary significantly between biennia since federal programs may be discontinued; federal appropriations and allocations can vary significantly between federal fiscal years; and other federal receipts (disaster aid) are tied to catastrophic and unforeseen events.
The $27.4 million does not include federal receipts associated with the federal sport fish and wildlife restoration programs. Those receipts are deposited to the Game and Fish Fund.
