Police Department s ;~ The Annexation Area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 15. Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency response will be part of the services the City will offer to this area. This proposed annexation would require officers to cover a relatively small additional area to this beat. However, due to the nature of the type of use proposed, calls for service can increase at any time for various reasons. At this time it is not expected that this annexation would cause calls for service to increase significantly and it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to increase police patrols beyond the already existing beat patrol at this time. The area under consideration is not expected to cause any unusual problems. At the present time the cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the existing budget of the Police Department with any significance. However, this area, as well as all other areas of the City, will continually be monitored for level of service demands and other criteria that would necessitate additional resources through budgetary increases or possibly shifting of existing..., resources, such as a beat restructure.
