C. Fire Department <br />The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire <br />protection problems related to the Annexation Area. The <br />Annexation Area is located approximately 1.5 miles from Station #8 <br />located at 2402 Twyckenham Drive. Additional fire units would <br />respond including Engine #10 located approximately 2.5 miles away <br />at 308 West Ireland Road. <br />Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to <br />other areas of the City. <br />No additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel <br />hired to service the Annexation Area. <br />D. Code Enforcement <br />The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to the <br />Annexation Area without any additional expenses over the present <br />budget. <br />E. Administrative Services <br />The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not effect the <br />provision to the Annexation Area of other services currently <br />provided on a county -wide basis. The St. Joseph County Health <br />Department, The Humane Society of St. Joseph County, the St. <br />Joseph County Public Library, the Area Plan Commission and the St. <br />Joseph County /South Bend Building Department are some of the <br />county -wide agencies that will continue to provide the same type <br />and level of services to the Annexation Area currently available <br />to it now. <br />Other City agencies such as the Park Department, the Department of <br />Economic Development, the Department of Administration and Finance <br />and the Legal Department, will also be in a position to provide <br />appropriate service to the Annexation Area at the same level as is <br />currently being provided to other areas of the City. <br />SECTION V. FISCAL IMPACT <br />Based upon the service reports provided by City agencies, the <br />fiscal impact upon the City will be minimal, and services of <br />capital nature will not be necessary to be provided in the next <br />three years. None of the City departments anticipate capital <br />expenditures in the provision of services to the Annexation Area. <br />Administrative costs, or expenditures of a non - capital nature will <br />be absorbed by the City budget. <br />7 <br />
