Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />Level -of -Service <br />As presented in Table 11-3, there is a relation between population growth and the need for <br />correctional facilities. Table 11-3 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 11-3 <br />Service Area Population and Jail Bookings <br />Year <br />2003 <br />2004 <br />2005 <br />2006 <br />2007 <br />Population(1) <br />126,869 <br />131,175 <br />134,573 <br />139,121 <br />143,177 <br />Average Daily Jail <br />Population(2) <br />473 <br />529 <br />543 <br />562 <br />544 <br />3 -Year Average <br />Population Bookings <br />n/a <br />n/a <br />130,872 <br />134,956 <br />138,957 <br />n/a <br />n/a <br />515 <br />545 <br />550 <br />Change in 3 -Year Average <br />Population Bookings <br />n/a <br />n/a <br />n/a <br />3.1% <br />3.0% <br />n/a <br />n/a <br />n/a <br />5.8% <br />0.9% <br />2008 <br />145,212 <br />537 <br />142,503 <br />548 <br />2.6% <br />-0.4% <br />2009 <br />145,356 <br />513 <br />144,582 <br />531 <br />1.5% <br />-3.1% <br />2010 <br />145,854 <br />518 <br />145,474 <br />523 <br />0.6% <br />-1.5% <br />2011 <br />146,325 <br />490 <br />145,845 <br />507 <br />0.3% <br />-3.1% <br />2012 <br />147,118 <br />446 <br />146,432 <br />485 <br />0.4% <br />-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 />11-4 summarizes the calculation of the county's current LOS using both weighted seasonal <br />population and functional population. <br />Tindale -Oliver & Associates, Inc.
