IV. PROVISION OF CITY SERVICES A. Public Works No expenditure of funds by the City will be required to provide capital improvements due to the fact that Southfield, Inc. will be providing street construction, street lighting, sewer facilities, water facilities, and stormwater drainage facilities throughout the Annexation Area. The proposed streets represent less the one percent (1%) of the City's current road system and can be easily maintained with existing personnel and equipment. The wastewater treatment and collection systems can provide service to the proposed area without any additional expenditures by the City. The water system is adequate and available for the Annexation Area. The City can also provide solid waste collection services to the Annexation Area without additional equipment or personnel. B. Police Protection The Annexation Area will be added to the existing patrol district known as Beat 15. Police services to be provided to the Annexation Area will include traffic patrol, preventive patrol, crime deterence, police reporting services, and emergency responses by the Department. The placement of the project and nature of the area bordering the complex will lend well to police services and will provide no unusual problems for the South Bend Police Department. The additional area will be patroled and serviced by the present complement of officers of the South Bend Police Department. Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No degradation of service to existing areas of the City will be experienced due to the nature of the development. The South Sector Captain, under the guidance of the Uniform Division Chief, will supervise the routine patrol of the new area. C. Fire Protection The Annexation Area is located approximately 2.0 miles from South Bend Fire Department Station #10 at 308 West Ireland Road. Additional Fire Department units would respond, including Engine #8, which is located approximately 2.0 miles at 2402 Tyckenham. Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. D. Neighborhood Code Enforcement The Department of Neighborhood Code Enforcement can perform code enforcement activities without acquiring additional equipment or hiring of additional personnel. The Humane Society of St. Joseph County currently provides animal control services on a County -wide basis.
