Tax Rate The Township rate will decrease with the deletion of the Fire Fighting Fund, the Fire Debt Fund, and the Cumulative Fire rate.

Table 2 in the Appendix shows representative tax rate information as published by the St. Joseph County Auditor. I.

Councilmanic District The Annexation Area will be in City Councilmanic District 1. K. Hiring Plan It is anticipated that this annexation will not result in the elimination of jobs for employees of other governmental units, although the City is not required to hire any employees whose jobs have been eliminated by an annexation. SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works An existing 8 -inch sanitary sewer runs north in an easement along the west side of Olive Road, from W Cleveland Road to the Toll Road. An existing 36 -inch gravity flow sanitary sewer in Cleveland Road extends approximately 720 feet west of the intersection of Olive and Cleveland Roads. West of this point, the sewer is a force main and not available for sewer taps. This sewer has the capacity to handle the additional load of the Annexation Area. No storm sewer exists abutting this property. Potential public works projects are currently being studied by the Redevelopment Commission. Any public improvements made within the annexed area shall be at the expense of the developer. Additional right -of -way will be required, and be dedicated through the subdivision approval process. The Department of Public Works will be able to maintain any additional public improvements without additional capital expense. The South Bend Water Works has a 12 -inch water main in Brick and W. Cleveland Roads. No additional improvements would be needed to provide water to the annexed area. The Department of Public Works and the South Bend Water Works would not anticipate any additional costs to provide services to the Annexation Area. Extensions of, or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines shall be governed by I.C. 36- 9 -22 -2, I.C. 8 -1.5 -3 and -4, and the rules and regulations of the South Bend Water Works and Sewer Utility. Kidder Annexation B. Police Department The Annexation Area is adjacent to Beat 22. Beat 22, a fully staffed patrol beat, will provide service to the Annexation Area. Police officials do not anticipate any unusual problems to be encountered in patrolling the Annexation Area. Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will be a part of the services the City will provide to the Annexation Area, and can be expected to be comparable and consistent with that of all other areas of the City. C. Fire Department The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems related to this annexation. The Annexation Area is located approximately 4.5 miles from Station #11, located at 3505 North Bendix Drive. Additional responding units would be from Station #4, located approximately 5 miles away, at 2020 N Olive St., and Station #7 located approximately 6 miles away at 1616 Portage Avenue. Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to other areas of the City, and that no additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. D. Code Enforcement The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to the Annexation Area without any additional expenses over the present budget, or increase in manpower. E. Environmental Services Since there are no residences in the Annexation Area, solid waste service would not need to be extended. Development of the Annexation Area would permit the developers access to the services provided by the Bureau of Solid Waste. F. Administrative Services The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not effect the provision of other services currently provided to this property on a county-wide basis. The St. Joseph County Health Department, the St. Joseph County Public Library, the Area Plan Commission and the St. Joseph County/South Bend Building Department are some of the county-wide agencies that will continue to provide the same type and level of services to the Annexation Area.
