54908 Ivy Road (Court Annexation Area 6 <br />B. Police Department <br />The Annexation Area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 11. Police <br />patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will be part of the services the City will <br />offer to this area. This proposed annexation would require officers to cover a relatively small <br />additional area to this beat. <br />At this time it is not expected that this annexation would cause calls for service to increase <br />significantly and it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to increase police patrols beyond <br />the already existing beat patrol at this time. The area under consideration is not expected to <br />cause any unusual problems. <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: $27,354,426 <br />Number of Households in City (2000): @42,908 <br />Cost per Household: @637.51 <br />Number of Parcels in City (2008): @48,685 <br />Cost per Parcel: @$562 <br />Proposed Number of Households in Area: Not Available <br />Number of new Parcels: 1 <br />Cost for Annexation Area per year: $562 (2 parcels x $562 cost /parcel) <br />C. Fire Department <br />Fire Response — The City provides a fully staffed, full time fire department housed in 12 fire <br />stations strategically located throughout the city. The Annexation Area will be serviced <br />primarily by Station #3, located at 1805 Mckinley Avenue, approximately 1.6 miles away. <br />Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station #2 located at 430 Dr. <br />Martin Luther King Drive which is approximately 2.6 miles away and Fire Station #7 at 1616 <br />Portage Ave., which is approximately 2.8 miles away and Fire Station #9 at 2520 Mishawaka <br />Av which is approximately 3.3 miles away. <br />The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems <br />related to this annexation. Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No <br />additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation <br />Area. Adequate water supply will be necessary as development takes place: <br />
