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.
