Gregor /Beall Annexation Area 6 When fully developed, this annexation area is not expected to require major capital outlays for public works vehicles or equipment. Cost of road maintenance will be greatly reduced during the early years of this development in anticipation that major repairs will not be needed. B. Police Department The noted 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. 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. Cost for servicing this area would be expected to be absorbed by the existing budget of the Police Department, as the addition of this area would not be significant to the point of having to increase any budgetary items. 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. It is anticipated that the services of this Department will be minimally required to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. Therefore, the service cost of the Department has been reduced by one -third to reflect a more realistic actual cost to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels.

Bendix Drive approximately point two point four (2.4) miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station 47 located at 1616 Portage Avenue which is approximately four point seven (4.7) miles away. The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems related to this annexation. Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No additional
