Parks & Recreation Grant

Alcoholic Liquor Fund

The State of Kansas, in KSA 79-41a04, creates an Alcoholic Liquor Fund and describes how those moneys are to be distributed back to local units of government. For cities with a population greater than 6,000 (Garden City fits that category) the law sets forth that 1/3 of the money be credited to the general fund, 1/3 be credited to a special Parks and Recreation Fund, and 1/3 to a special alcohol and drug programs fund in the city treasury.

Funds credited to the Parks and Recreation Fund shall be under the direction and control of the Board of County Commissioners. Any funds granted to local agencies and/or groups may only be used for the purchase, establishment, maintenance, or expansion of park and recreational services, programs, and facilities.
