This provided services over an area of approximately 25,045 square miles, resulting in, a cost per square mile of approximately $453. These services are available upon the effective date of the Annexation. Full and dedicated response will be in place within one year of the effective date of the Annexation. The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not effect the provision of other services currently provided to this property on a county -wide basis. The St. Joseph County Health Department, the St. Joseph County Public Library, the Area Plan Commission and the St. Joseph County /South Bend Building Department are some of the county -wide agencies that will continue to provide the same type and level of services to the Annexation Area. County -wide services will continue to be supported by the County and Township tax rates that will remain in effect. SECTION IV. FISCAL IMPACT 1) Essential city services and facilities are or can be made available to the residents of the Annexation Area. 2) The city is financially able to support city services to the territory sought to be annexed.
