The Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona Game & Fish Department and the Arizona State Parks Board are required to conduct a study every three years on watercraft fuel consumption and recreational watercraft usage. The fuel consumption data is collected to determine the allocation of motor vehicle fuel tax to the State Lake Improvement Fund. The information on recreational watercraft usage patterns on Arizona’s lakes and rivers is necessary, in part, to determine the distribution of SLIF funds to applicants.

The Stadium District was formed in accordance through action of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in September 1991. The Stadium District is located in the central portion of the State of Arizona and has the same boundaries as Maricopa County. Through 1996, the Stadium District provided funds for building or renovating seven Cactus League baseball spring training facilities. On February 17, 1994, the Stadium District entered into an agreement with the Arizona Professional Baseball Team Limited Partnership to finance a portion of the acquisition cost and construction for a new major league baseball stadium currently known as Chase Field. The Stadium District is a blended component unit of Maricopa County. The Stadium District’s financial information is included in the Maricopa County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The annual operating budget serves as the foundation for the Stadium District’s financial planning and control. A schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance (budget and actual) is provided in this report for the Chase Field General Fund, Cactus League Special Revenue Fund, Debt Service Fund, and Chase Field Capital Projects Reserve Fund.
