Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />development cannot be charged for a higher LOS than what is being provided, the achieved <br />LOS is used in the impact fee calculations. <br />The County does not have any new law enforcement capital facilities programmed in the <br />Five -Year CIP; however, the Sheriff's Master Plan identifies needs for additional <br />administrative space and a crime scene investigation unit. The estimated cost for this <br />project is $25 million to $30 million. Due to lack of funding, this project is not yet <br />programmed. Since the timing of this project is not known yet, a future LOS estimate is not <br />calculated. <br />While the 2013 LOS is 1.89 officers per 1,000 weighted residents, in order to calculate the <br />law enforcement facilities impact fee, the LOS needs to be calculated in terms of officers <br />per 1,000 functional residents. Table VII -3 also illustrates the calculation of the current LOS <br />using the total functional residents within the service area. The current LOS of law <br />enforcement facilities is 2.11 officers per 1,000 functional residents. <br />Table VII -3 <br />Level -of -Service (2013) <br />Component <br />Population') <br />Number of Officers(2) <br />LOS (officers per 1,000 residents)(3) <br />Adopted LOS Standard (officers per 1,000 residents)l4i <br />Year 2013 <br />Weighted <br />Population <br />97,681 <br />185 <br />1.89 <br />2.09 <br />Functional <br />Population <br />87,590 <br />185 <br />2.11 <br />2.33 <br />(1) Source: Appendix A, Table A-1 for weighted population and Table A-11 for functional population; <br />Unincorporated population <br />(2) Source: Indian River County Sheriff's Office <br />(3) Number of officer (Item 2) divided by the population (Item 1) multiplied by 1,000 <br />(4) Source: Indian River County <br />Table VII -4 summarizes a LOS comparison between Indian River County and other Florida <br />counties. The LOS is displayed in terms of permanent population for all jurisdictions <br />because a functional population analysis has not been completed for these entities. The <br />LOS comparison is based on the permanent population for 2012, as this is the most recent <br />population data available for all jurisdictions. As presented in this table, the Indian River <br />County's LOS is on the high end of these other communities. <br />Tindale -Oliver & Associates, Inc.
