IV. PROVISION OF CITY SERVICES <br />A. Public Works <br />No expenditure of funds by the City will be required to provide <br />capital improvements due to the fact that the developer will <br />providing street construction, street lighting, sewer facilities, <br />water facilities, and stormwater drainage facilities throughout the <br />Annexation Area. <br />The proposed streets represent less than one percent of the City's <br />current road system and can be easily maintained with existing <br />personnel and equipment. <br />The wastewater treatment and collection systems can provide service <br />to the proposed area without any additional expenditures by the <br />City. The water system is adequate and available for the <br />Annexation Area. <br />The City can also provide solid waste collection services to the <br />Annexation Area without additional equipment or personnel. <br />B. Police Protection <br />The Annexation Area will be added to Beat 15. A new beat, Beat 16, <br />was recommended as part of other annexations which have occurred on <br />the southeast side of South Bend within the last year and a half. <br />The proposed use and proximity of this Annexation Area to schools, <br />commercial and residential areas as well as other recently annexed <br />areas increases the need for the recently recommended beat to <br />provide proper service to the overall area. The Annexation Area <br />will become part of Beat 16 once the new beat is fully staffed and <br />funded. <br />The Annexation Area will account for approximately 5 percent of the <br />cost for the new beat. The South Bend Police Department estimates <br />this to be a total yearly cost of approximately $8500. <br />Police protection of the scope detailed herein will be furnished to <br />the Annexation Area within one (1) year after the effective date of <br />the annexation. Police Officials recommend, however, that the <br />additional officers and beat allocation be in place at the start of <br />the construction of the project to deter theft of building <br />materials and tools and to provide emergency response for medical <br />and police matters. <br />Personnel costs will be included in the annual operating budget of <br />the Police Department. Vehicle costs will be paid from either the <br />Cumulative Capital Development Fund or the General Fund. <br />-2- <br />
