Berhheiser (60601 South Main) Annexation Area 6 <br />At the present time the cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the <br />existing budget of the Police Department with any significance. However, this area, as well as <br />all other areas of the City, will continually be monitored for level of service demands and <br />other criteria that would necessitate additional resources through budgetary increases or <br />possibly shifting of existing resources, such as a beat restructure. <br />Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable and <br />consistent with that as in all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin <br />immediately upon annexation and coordination of the conversion of the 911 emergency phone <br />system for that area. <br />Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels. <br />Household information is provided for comparative purposes. <br />2008 Actual Budget Report for the Department: <br />Expenditures: <br />Number of Households in City (2000): <br />Cost per Household: <br />Number of Parcels in City (2008): <br />Cost per Parcel: <br />Proposed Number of Households in Area: <br />Number of new Parcels: <br />Cost for Annexation Area per year: $562 (1 <br />$27,354,426 <br />@42,908 <br />@637.51 <br />@48,685 <br />@$562 <br />1 <br />1 <br />parcels x $562 cost /parcel) <br />C.
