The primary planning <br />considerations are functionality, efficiency, flexibility and affordability. <br />Establishment of Need <br />The SCP planning team was hired in mid 1998 to take an objective and highly analytical <br />approach to projecting future growth for the Indian River County Administration. <br />In our approach to this task, SCP utilized the University of Florida's population growth <br />projections to year 2000 and 2020 for the State of Florida. For Indian River County, these <br />projections show an increase from the 1997 base population of 104,605 to 111,411 in 2000 <br />(growth of 6.5%), and an additional increase to 154,089 in 2020 (growth of 39.3%). Indian River <br />County's Planning Department does use the University of Florida's projections. <br />Our planning team projected growth for all Indian River County's Administrative Departments <br />that will reside in the new facility. It should be noted that 3 departments — Fire Service, <br />Emergency Medical Services and Environmental Health employee are not currently located in the <br />existing Administrative Building on 25' Street and are projected to be located in the new facility. <br />MARCH 16, 1999 <br />-79- BOOK 103 PAGE 69 <br />
