Market Assessment and Fiscal Impact Analysis of the Pleasanton Gateway Business Park Report 3/31/10 Police The General Fund cost for additional police protection services is estimated based the department's existing average cost per daytime population. Specifically, as shown in Table 14, based on the current budget there are about 1.23 sworn officers per 1,000 in daytime population with an average cost of about $170,400 per sworn officer. The average cost per sworn officer is based on the Police Department's non - administrative budget and is applied to the sworn officers required per increase in the daytime population associated with the Project. Based on this methodology, the Project will generate demand for 1.29 additional officers at buildout, at a total annual cost of about $220,000. It is important to note that the approach described above is conservative because it does not account for any existing service capacity. Specifically, the Police Department has reported that it has sufficient capacity to provide adequate service to the Project at build -out with negligible additional costs. However, EPS has calculated the additional costs based on a fair -share allocation rather than actual costs. This approach ensures that the Project does not get a "free ride" by benefiting from the department's existing service capacity. As new development occurs, the City may ultimately need to hire new officers and the burden of this service expansion should be spread evenly across all development rather than allocated entirely to the last project. Fire The Project is located within the Pleasanton- Livermore Fire Department jurisdiction. Station #4, at Oak Vista Way and Bernal Avenue, is the closest station to the Project, located within a 1/2 mile from the development site. Assuming that accessibility is sufficient, the incremental approach is used on per- daytime population to estimate the ongoing fire protection costs. The average cost per firefighter is estimated based on the City's budget and is applied to the daytime population generated by the Project (see Table 15). Public Works The Department of Public Works is responsible for administration, engineering, traffic, building safety, street maintenance, and support services to the City. This analysis assumes that 50 percent of these costs are variable, which yields a per- daytime population cost of $78 according to the City's budget. Parks and Community Services New employment resulting from the Project will create additional demand for City parks and potentially other community services. The parks and community services cost is assumed to be 50 percent variable, with a per- daytime population expenditure of $70 according to the City's budget. The costs associated with the Project's transition to the City's park (to the south of the Project) will be fully maintained by the Project and are not included in this analysis.
