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 /> 133 , 137 residents or 0 .098 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 . 108 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 /> Population( l ) 133 , 137 120 , 634 <br /> Number of Stations(2) 13 13 <br /> Population/Functional Residents per Station 105241 99280 <br /> LOS Stations per 1 ,000 Residents) 0.098 0. 108 <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 .
