the funds will be deposited into a special fund donated to a specific park.  why do you need to know who the future budget director is, it is completely irrelevant.  this deposit is only a bookkeeping entry, the actual funds are deposited into the general fund until expended for that specific park.  it is simple as that.  hence, the money is set aside until it is spent and cannot be used for other purposes.  it appears that you  are unfamiliar with how government works making illogical statements.  if an individual and/or corporate donor makes a donation for a capital item, it is the city or state's responsibility to upkeep, unless the donors will provide maintenance funds for upkeep.  the donor does not own the items built from their donation so other than the donation they don't have any further responsibility.
