1980's or early 1990's and also feel this is an extremely <br />conservative projection. <br />As to why the correctional staff would require more <br />people in the future, Mr. Buchanan explained the problem is <br />that the Florida Dept. of Corrections comes.into the act at <br />the stage of design development drawings. They will not let <br />you progress with the drawings until they are satisfied with <br />the staffing patterns and they will not allow the facility <br />to open until they feel there is sufficient staff to operate <br />it. <br />Space Requirements - Sheriff's Office <br />Mr. Buchanan explained that projection of future space <br />needs for a law enforcement facility is based mainly on <br />staff size. Projections of total personnel requirements <br />are shown below: <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE <br />STAFFING PROJECTIONS BY ANNUAL PERSONNEL GROWTH RATE AND <br />RATIO OF PERSONNEL TO COUNTY POPULATION <br />Annual Personnel Growth Rate <br />(4.45 Percent) <br />Ratio of Personnel to County <br />Population (549:1) <br />Midpoint <br />PRESENT 1985 1990 1995 2000 <br />135 153 183 210 243 <br />135 161 182 202 223 <br />135 157 182.5 206 233 <br />It is felt that approximately 51 staff will be required <br />to operate the jail and that the Sheriff's Office in the <br />year 2000 will include 233 staff that will be utilizing the <br />proposed facility. These figures seem high until you <br />consider how few members were on the staff just a few years <br />back and how that number has increased up to now. In <br />addition, the D.O.C. must be satisfied with the number of <br />staff or they will not let the facility open. Based on <br />staffing needs, they recommend a total of 44,000 sq. ft. for <br />the Sheriff's Office as shown below: <br />MAY 18 1983 <br />17 <br />e®v �3 qac <br />
