Level of Service <br /> Typically , level of service for Fire/EMS is expressed in terms of stations per 1 , 000 <br /> residents . Using this method , IRC ' s current level of service (LOS ) is 13 stations per <br /> 146 , 621 residents or 0 . 089 stations per 1 , 000 residents . As mentioned in the previous <br /> section , LOS must be measured using functional population to capture all residents , <br /> workers , and visitors that benefit from Fire/EMS services . Because the 2009 functional <br /> population is less than the 2009 baseline population, the functional population LOS is <br /> calculated at 0 . 101 stations per 1 , 000 residents . Table VII -4 summarizes the calculation <br /> of the LOS standard using the 2009 population and functional population . <br /> Table VII -4 <br /> Current Level of Service ( 2009 ) <br /> Year 2009 <br /> Functional <br /> Calculation Step Population Population <br /> Population( l ) 146 , 621 1295399 <br /> Number of Stations(2 ) 13 13 <br /> Population/Functional Residents per Station 11 , 2791 91954 <br /> LOS (Stations per 1 ,000 Residents) OeO891 0. 100 <br /> ( 1 ) Source : Appendix A , Table A-6 . Figures exclude population of Indian River Shores . <br /> (2 ) Source : Table VII - 1 <br /> Table VII - 5 compares the levels of service for counties adjacent to IRC as well as the <br /> state of Florida . The LOS is displayed in terms of regular population for 2004 for all <br /> entities . However, because the LOS calculated for IRC includes the two planned stations <br /> to be built in the next five years , the 2009 population is considered for IRC only . <br /> Depending on the station data available , the individual county ' s number of stations and <br /> corresponding population are expressed as either countywide or unincorporated county <br /> only . <br /> (This space intentionally left blank) <br /> Tindale -Oliver & Associates , Inc .
