- Fire Protection
Fire protection will be provided to the proposed.annexation area through '
facilities provided at the number five (5) fire station on West Main
Street.
Current fire protection standards suggest each station provide protec-.
tion for a radius of two (2) miles. The proposed annexation area is
well within these standards.
Additional expenses will be the lineal footage charge for water lines
in the annexation area as set forth by the Indiana Public Service Commission
I
through Tarriff #34382 approved on July 6, 1976.
Those areas annexed which do not currently have services from the Richmond
Water Works can receive service as explained by Mr. Robert Clooney, Chief
.Engineer of the Indiana Public Service Commission on the following basis:
Richmond Water Works to provide four (4) times their
expected annual revenue for construction with the
citizens providing the balance and the City auto-
matically picking up the lineal footage charges for
fire protection.
Total annual charge to the City for fire protection would be $8,736.23
plus $52.00 per year per hydrant installed. Current standards would re-
quire 48 hydrants at an annual cost of $2,496.00
No additional equipment or personnel would be required to service the newly
annexed areas.

ments and Physical Conditions, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, adopted

with joint City/County efforts.

FIRE
Mr. Mullin, the fiscal plan does not call'for a new fire station or additional
expense for equipment or manpower. It has been suggested that a new fire house
and additional manpower will be needed to provide services similar to those of
the City of Richmond. Do you feel that these additions are necessary?
Without a fire house what services will be provided when a call is made?
Will there be any additional costs incurred as a result of answering a call in
the proposed annexation area? Costs such as gasoline, water, maintenance, wear
and tear on equipment - that sort of thing? What, in your opinion, is the possibility
of our fire rating rising from a 4 to a 5 as a result of the annexation and, if the
rating goes up, will insurance costs rise for the entire community?
There is some indication that water line installation costs would amount to over
$200,000.00 and the inch -foot charge on new lines would amount to $7200.00 annually.
Are there new lines being proposed in the annexation area? They don't appear in the
City fiscal plan and/or are they needed? The fiscal plan calls for 48 hydrants
at a cost of $2,496.00. Is this sufficient to cover the area?
Do we need additional manpower to insure there are a minimum of three men at each
firehouse at all times?
There was some question about response time,during the public hearing. There was
some question that present times are not acceptable. Do you feel this is true?
Would you clarify the l 1/2 mile vs the 2 mile radius requirement for firehouses?
Concerning fire ratings, has anybody talked to the Indiana Rating Bureau about
what annexation will do to insurance rates?
TRANSPORTATION
The remonstrators pointed out that the average cost of street & road repair in
Richmond is approximately $3,205.00 per mile. Yet we've indicated by our fiscal
plan that we plan to take care of the annexed area for a total of $8500.00. How
do you justify these figures? It has also been brought out that bridge culverts
are the county's responsibility and that Beech Drive has already been repaired.
With these in mind, that reduces the requirements of the fiscal plan to $3700.00
per year. Can we, in fact, do an adequate job of providing adequate service for
these costs?
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Where did we come up with $2500.00 per year figure?
STREET LIGHTS
If we were to provide full street lighting in the annexed area similar to that in
Richmond, assuming proper petitions of more than 50% of the residents are presented,
how many are required and what will the annual cost be? The remonstrators are
suggesting $35,000.00. Is this an accurate figure?
PLAN DEPARTMENT OR DON MEREDITH
Section 1 of the fiscal plan indicates statistics which have been disputed by
the Citizens Against Annexation. How did the Administration arrive at the figure
in the fiscal plan, including the 528 single family, 22 commercial, 65 multi -family
units, population of 2,214, 626 acres, 619 individually owned parcels, the assessed
valuation of $3,656,970, revenues of $79,356.25, the other income from Alcohol
'Beverage Tax and Motor Vehicle Highway Fund. The Citizens Against Annexation dispute
our assessed valuation. They indicate, according to our figures, the assessed
valuation is $3,187,900.00. There is a difference of $469,070.00. Are our figures
or their figures correct? If you know, through rechecking, that the figure in the
fiscal report on income in effect are incorrect, do you have a correct figure?
Would you explain how you arrive at these new figures? The remonstrators referred
several times to porportionate or per capita costs. The fiscal plan has no costs
which are based on this method. Why?

POLICE PROTECTION
Chief Chris, how many additional police officers are needed to serve the area in
population under consideration?
r
Will 3 officers provide comparable services?
The fiscal plan calls for a total cost of $34,200 for the three years in salary to
police officers. Is this figure accurate or does it need to be adjusted to allow
for inflation and wage increases? The same question with regard to all categories
in the police section, including clothing and fire arms, radios, pensions, liability ins.,
Blue Cross -Blue Shield, patrol cars, mobile radios, etc.? Are there any additional
support personnel needed to provide comparable service for area under consideration?

PARKS
Don McBride with the Plan Department:
You had in the fiscal plan funds for the development of a park. Is a park something
that has to be provided to the area within 3 years? If not, why is it included in
the fiscal plan?

THESE QUESTIONS WILL OPEN THE COMMITTEE MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT.
,
THEY WILL BE ASKED BY COUNCILMAN AHAUS AND COUNCILMAN AUSTERMAN.
AFTER THESE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED, COUNCILMAN AUSTERMAN WILL OPEN THE FLOOR
TO COUNCILMEN.
THE INTENT IS TO ROTATE THE QUESTIONING THAT THE COUNCILMEN HAVE.
4
THE FLOOR WILL THEN BE OPENED TO BOB BURTON WHO WILL BE ABLE TO POSE QUESTIONS
EITHER TO THE COUNCILMEN OR TO THE DEPARTMENT HEADS.
NO ONE ELSE WILL BE RECOGNIZED.
EMPHASIS IS THAT THE COMMITTEE MEETING IS TO DISCUSS THE FISCAL PLAN AND THE
