NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Public Safety of the City of South Bend: SECTION 1. The real estate described in the annexation ordinance attached hereto and made a part hereof is needed and can be a-ed by the City of South Bend for its future development in the reasonably near future. SECTION 2. That all prior resolutions adopted by this Board concerning annexation of real estate included in the territory described 'herein are hereby rescinded. BCTIQPi 3. It is now Hereby declared and established that it 1 i ,, he p:,a cy of ;he City of South Bend to furnish to said territory a.y.thln a p +riod of tnree (;) years governmental and proprietary services substantially equivalent in standard and scope to the govern - mantal and proprietary services furnished by the City to other areas of the City which have characteristics of topography, patterns of lend utilization and population density similar to said territory, and that such services, among others, shall include street maintenance, traffic control, street lighting, sanitation service and sewer service. SECTION 4. The Board of Public Safety now establishes the following; timetable for the furnishing of such governmental services: A. Police protection will be furnished immediately upon the effective date of the annexation ordinance by the existing police force and equipment of the City of South Bend. It is estimated that based upon the ratio of policemen to population currently in effect in the City of South Bend that 8.3 additional squired to be added to the Policemen would be = 'I police force of the City. The additional 9 policemen which would be required could be hired within 90 days of the effective date of the annexation ordinance and would go into training at the date of the next police academy training school which would be during the calendar year 1975 and would result in graduation and full employment by the force during the present calendar year. B. Fire protection would be provided to the territory immediately upon the effective date of the annexation. All alarms would be answered by the existing fire force of the City. It is proposed that a new fire station would be built. Five additional pieces of equip- ment would be required to service the area and 10 additional firemen would be required. The firemen are provided for in the present City budget and could be on active duty after the training period. The additional fire station could be provided within 18 months of the effective date of the annexation if population growth and development within the area would require. Additional equipment could be purchased to service the area within approximately 6 to 9 months of the effective date of the annexation. SECTION 5. The Board of Public Safety now establishes and adopts the ol�g fiscal plan for the furnishing of such services: A. Cost of salary and equipment for one additional policeman In the City of South Bend is $14,000. Estimated annual cost of provic- ing 8.25 policemen as estimated in the cost analysis for this annex- ation is $115,584. The first two years of this cost of additional policemen would be funded from revenue sharing funds which are avail- able to the City for such purpose. Thereafter, the police department budget would include from the general tax revenues of the City and /or from the tax revenues realized from the annexation of this territory, sufficient funds to finance this expenditure. -2- B. It is estimated that based upon the present manpower, of the fire force of the City no additional firemen would be required to man the proposed new fire station and its equivalent or any of the additional equipment to be provided or as proposed in the event of future development. No additional cost for firemen's salaries would thus be incurred. C. Cost of construction of a new fire station is estimated at $175,000 which could be financed over a 25 year period by the City. Based upon 6% interest, the amortized.cost of such construc- tion would be $13,700 per annum. Funding would be available by means of general obligation bond issue. D. Additional fire fighting equipment would consist of one engine pumper, two satellite tankers /hose tenders, two attack /grass fire units at a total cost of $144,000. Cost of this equipment could be financed by a lease purchase contract and such cost could . be amortized over a 10 year period at 5% interest per annum at an annual cost of $199600. Funding could come from revenue sharing funds in the first two years and tax revenue to be collected from the area thereafter. SECTION 6. The Board of Safety determines that the revenue to the ty to be anticipated from such annexation will be derived from the following: A. Property tax revenue as based upon assessed valuation of $4,642,050 would produce $2339959.32 per year to be derived from tax payment made annually beginning with 1975 payable 1976 taxes. B. Revenue from distribution of state collected taxes from motor vehicle highway tax, special $.02 motor vehicle highway tax, cigarette tax to general fund and cigarette tax to cumulative capital improvement fund is estimated at $21.06 per capita for a total available distribution of $94,496.22. C. Estimated revenue sharing distribution from the federal government based upon present revenue sharing would be in the amount of $68,023 per annum. D. Total estimated revenue from the territory to be annexed would be $396,478.54. -3- y E. Total cost of services to be furnished to the area to be annexad, including all proprietary services and governmental services for fire and police protection as herein enumerated, together with allowance for 10% governmental overhead expense of $35,889.30, would be $394,782.30.
