The LOS is displayed in terms of permanent population for 2012 for all entities because functional population data analysis has not been completed for these entities, as it was for Indian River County. In addition, the number of beds for all jurisdictions presented in the following table is based on gross beds. As presented, Indian River County's LOS is within the range of these counties. Although the LOS is measured in terms of beds per population for planning purposes, for impact fee calculation purposes, the level of service is shown as the level of investment (or dollar value of capital assets) per resident, which reflects the capacity investment made by the County for each program area of infrastructure. This figure is shown later in this section in terms of net impact cost per resident for correctional facilities, which should be included in the Comprehensive Plan for impact fee purposes. It is important to note that the construction of correctional facilities tend to be "lumpy" and requires significant investments for large scales of construction. Indian River County completed its most recent expansion in 2008, which was funded primarily with sales tax revenues, and currently does not have any plans to build additional jails. In addition, the average daily occupancy of approximately 450 inmates represents 75 percent of the available functional capacity. As mentioned previously, correctional impact fees are not being collected in Indian River County at this time, and there appears to be sufficient Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
