This figure is shown <br /> later in this section in terms of net impact cost per resident for law enforcement capital <br /> facilities,which should be included in the Comprehensive Plan for impact fee purposes. <br /> Cost Component <br /> The cost component of the study evaluates the cost of capital items, including buildings, <br /> land, vehicles, and equipment. Table VII-5 provides a summary of all capital costs, which <br /> amounts to approximately$130,000 per sworn law enforcement officer. <br /> Table VII-5 also presents the cost per functional resident for the impact fee analysis. This <br /> cost was calculated as the total capital cost of approximately$130,000 per officer multiplied <br /> by the LOS of 2.11 officers per 1,000 functional residents divided by 1,000. As shown in the <br /> following table, the total impact cost per resident is approximately $274 for law <br /> enforcement facilities. <br /> Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
