Herrman & Goetz Annexation Area <br />B. Police Department <br />The Annexation Area will be added to Beat 24. Police coverage can be expected to begin shortly <br />after the effective date of the annexation. <br />Police patrols, traffic enforcement and emergency responses will be part of the services the City <br />will offer to the area. Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be <br />comparable and consistent with that as in other parts of the City. <br />C. Fire Department <br />The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems related to <br />this annexation. The Annexation Area is located approximately 4.5 miles from Station #4, located <br />at 220 N. Olive Street.. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Station #11 at 3505 <br />North Bendix Drive and Station #6 at 4302 W. Western Avenue, both of which are approximately <br />5.5 miles away. <br />Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to other areas of the City, and that no <br />additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. <br />D. Code Enforcement <br />The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to the Annexation Area with no <br />additional increase in manpower or equipment. <br />E. Environmental Services <br />The Division of Environmental Services notes that service will be offered as needed, although no <br />residential structures are curently within the Annexation Area. The service would be offered at a <br />rate of $8.00 per month, or $5.50 per month for senior citizens. <br />F. Administrative Services <br />The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not effect the provision of other services currently <br />provided to this property on a county-wide basis. The St. Joseph County Health Department, the <br />St. Joseph County Public Library, the Area Plan Commission and the St. Joseph County/South <br />Bend Building Department are some of the county-wide agencies that will continue to provide the <br />same type and level of services to the Annexation Area. <br />
