POLICE Development fees for police are calculated using the incremental expansion approach. The components included in the fee consist of police station land, buildings and support vehicles and equipment. All costs have been allocated to residential and nonresidential development and standards are calculated on a per capita basis for residential fees and square footage basis for nonresidential development. Average household size is used to determine the residential development fees while a per-1,000 square feet calculation is performed to determine nonresidential development fees. Police call factors are shown in the table on the next page and were used to determine the residential and nonresidential service demands. Road related and other calls were omitted from this analysis because the destination of these trips is unknown. Residential and nonresidential use is 61% and 39% respectively. The table on the next page lists the City's current inventory of police stations, training facilities and police's proportionate share of the communications center. Animal control and storage facilities are also included. City staff estimate similar downtown land to cost $871,200 per acre. Construction costs are estimated at $250 per square foot (based on police estimates). The value of the City's current police facilities inventory totals $12,161,978. Since 61% of the police building use is related •� to residential users, the value is adjusted accordingly. This value is divided by the current population resulting in a cost per person figure of $180.73 ($12,161,978 x 61% = $7,418,807 / 41,050 persons = $180.73). With the addition of new police facilities to serve new growth, additional police support vehicles and equipment will also be needed. The table on the next page lists the City's current inventory of police support vehicles and equipment. These assets have a total value of$6,634,979.This results in a per person cost of $98.60 for police support vehicles and equipment ($6,634,979 x 61% /41,050 population =$98.60). The per capita household size of 2.11 is multiplied by the cost per person amounts for land, buildings and equipment to determine the residential fee. 2.11 x ($180.73 + $98.60) = $589.39. The nonresidential fee is computed by apportioning 39% of the police land, buildings and support vehicles and equipment to nonresidential use per 1,000 square feet. This value is then used to determine the fee of $404.28 for land and buildings and $220.56 for support vehicles and equipment per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential. ($12,161,978 x 39%) / (11,732,249/1,000) = $404.28 and (6,634,979 x 39%) / (11,732,249/1,000) = $220.56 or a total nonresidential fee of $624.84.
