General Budget Analysis 2009 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 B. Police Department $5,873,817 @499.8 @$11,752.33 @0.00 miles (0 feet) @$0 The Annexation Area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 11. 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. 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.
