Eric,
I reviewed
the Leg. Council's request for information on trails expenditures, and made a
number of assumptions to reach my conclusions. First, these are Parks and
Southern Forest operational expenditures only. I did not incorporate
development costs, or costs at other levels of government, i.e. county,
municipal or federal expenditures. Second, these include both linear and
non-linear trails expenditures. Third, I had to make an estimate of time
spent on law enforcement based on program averages. I believe the law
enforcement component of the total is conservative. Total expenditures in
FY 06:
Total FTE Cost: $615,574
Total LTE Cost:
$415,690
Total S&S Cost:
$505,509
Total All
Costs: 1,536,773
I hope this information is satisfactory to you. Could
you forward this to your contact at the Leg. Council?
Thanks
Landon
