SECTION IV. MUNICIPAL SERVICES <br />A. Public Works <br />The Department of Public Works notes that the infrastructure needs <br />of the proposed development will be provided by the developer, and <br />the department does not anticipate the need for any City funds. <br />On -going maintenance will be provided by existing crews. <br />B. Police Protection <br />The Annexation Area will be added to Beat 15, and will be serviced <br />by existing police units through routine patrol and law enforcement <br />activities. <br />The Department notes that the development of other tracts in the <br />vicinity of the Annexation Area has increased the demands on the <br />Department for traffic control and crime prevention patrols. These <br />developed tracts consist of many business and high density <br />residential areas. The Department is planning to create a new Beat <br />16 as part of the general restructuring of Beats to cover newly <br />annexed areas as well as relieve some of the calls for service. <br />The Annexation Area will be part of the new Beat. Despite the <br />Departments indication that additional service will be required in <br />addition to existing police units, it does not anticipate any <br />unusual problems. <br />The Department indicates that it will cost the City approximately <br />$4,821.00 to provide the full range of available police services to <br />the Annexation Area once it is fully developed. <br />C. Fire Protection <br />The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire <br />protection problems related to this annexation. The Annexation <br />Area is located approximately 1.5 miles from Station #8, located at <br />2402 Twyckenham Drive. Additional responding units would be Engine <br />#10 at 308 West Ireland Road located approximately 2.5 miles from <br />the Annexation Area. <br />Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to other <br />areas of the City, and that no additional equipment will need to be <br />purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. <br />D. Code Enforcement <br />The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to this <br />area without any additional expenses over the present budget. <br />- 4 - <br />
