Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />Affordable Growth Strategy <br />Currently, it appears that the only funding source available for law enforcement capital <br />facilities is the impact fee. As such, unless another revenue source is identified, any <br />reduction in the impact fee will result in a decline in the LOS. In addition, the current <br />achieved LOS is lower than the adopted LOS standard. As mentioned previously, the <br />Sheriff's Master Plan identifies two projects that are estimated to cost approximately $25 <br />million to $35 million. These projects are not yet programmed due to lack of funding. <br />Given these, the policy decision should focus on the LOS and whether the adopted and/or <br />existing LOS should be reduced or impact fees and/or other revenue sources should be used <br />to maintain/improve the LOS. <br />Staff Recommended Fee Rate <br />The County staff recommends adopting the full calculated impact fee for law enforcement <br />services. <br />Law Enforcement Impact Fee Schedule Comparison <br />As part of the work effort in updating Indian River County's law enforcement impact fee <br />schedule, the County's calculated impact fee schedule was compared to the adopted fee <br />schedule and those in similar or nearby jurisdictions. Table VII -7 presents this comparison. <br />Tindale -Oliver & Associates, Inc. Indian River County <br />June 2014 87 Impact Fee Update Study <br />122 <br />
