Brick Road Annexation Area 6 General Budget Analysis 2001 Actual Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: Miles of Roadway in City: Cost per Mile: New Mileage within Area: Estimated Maintenance cost for Annexation Area per year: $6,228,676 47= @$13,224 @.27 miles (1,399.47 feet/5,274') @$3,570 B. Police Department The Annexation Area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 22. Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will be part of the services the City will offer to this area. This proposed annexation would require officers to cover a relatively small additional area to this beat. The Annexation Area is located in an area of the city that is expected to continue to grow, both in commercial development as well as residential. At this time it is not expected that this annexation would cause calls for service to increase significantly and it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to increase police patrols beyond the already existing beat patrol at this time. The area under consideration is not expected to cause any unusual problems. At the present time the cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the existing budget of the Police Department with any significance. However, this area, as well as all other areas of the City, will continually be monitored for level of service demands and other criteria that would necessitate additional resources through budgetary increases or possibly shifting of existing resources, such as a beat restructure. Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable and consistent with that as in all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin immediately upon annexation and coordination of the conversion of the 911 emergency phone system for that area.
