In June 2006, the Salt Lake County Council approved a list of 24 projects, costing approximately $65 million, that will be fully or partially funded through the ZAP-Recreation fund. The 24 projects were recommended by a volunteer advisory board appointed for this specific purpose. Applications were received in January 2006. The ZAP Recreation Advisory Board met numerous times to review and hear from the applicants. 53 applications were received requesting over $185 million worth of projects.

Per the State statute governing the ZAP program, 30% of the funds collected are designated for the construction of Recreational facilities within Salt Lake County.
