Indian River County I Impact Fee Update Study <br /> Level-of-Service <br /> As presented in Table II-3, there is a relation between population growth and the need for <br /> correctional facilities. Table II-3 presents the average daily jail population over the last ten <br /> years, along with the corresponding population. The relation between the population and <br /> jail population is used to establish a general trend in the need for correctional facility beds, <br /> and to account for random fluctuations, the three-year average number of bookings and <br /> population also is shown. <br /> Table II-3 <br /> Service Area Population and Jail Bookings <br /> Year Population(l) Average Daily Jail 3-YearAverage Change in 3-Year Average <br /> BookingsPopulation(2) Population Bookings Population <br /> 2003 126,869 473 n/a n/a n/a n/a <br /> 2004 131,175 529 n/a n/a n/a n/a <br /> 2005 134,573 543 130,872 515 n/a n/a <br /> 2006 139,121 562 134,956 545 3.1% 5.8% <br /> 2007 143,177 544 138,957 550 3.0% 0.9% <br /> 2008 145,212 537 142,503 548 2.6% -0.4% <br /> 2009 145,356 513 144,582 531 1.5% -3.1% <br /> 2010 145,854 518 145,474 523 0.6% -1.5% <br /> 2011 146,325 490 145,845 507 0.3% -3.1% <br /> 2012 147,118 446 146,432 485 0.4% -4.3% <br /> (1) Source:Appendix A,Table A-1 <br /> (2) Source: Indian River County <br /> For planning purposes, the level-of-service (LOS) for correctional facility services is <br /> expressed in terms of jail facility beds per 1,000 residents. Using this method, Indian River <br /> County's current achieved LOS is 4.14 beds per 1,000 residents. The County's current <br /> adopted LOS standard for correctional facilities is 4.5 beds per 1,000 residents. Given that <br /> the achieved LOS is lower than the adopted standard, impact fee calculations for <br /> correctional facilities are based on the achieved LOS. As mentioned previously, for impact <br /> fee calculations, the LOS should be measured using functional population to capture <br /> workers, visitors, and residents to calculate the correctional facilities impact fee. In terms <br /> of functional population, the current LOS is 4.37 beds per 1,000 functional residents. Table <br /> II-4 summarizes the calculation of the county's current LOS using both weighted seasonal <br /> population and functional population. <br /> Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
