A police department
model has been prepared by City staff which provides a department
with 57 sworn officers and 9 civilian employees. It is expected
to have
operating costs of approximately $7.5 million a
year when it is fully staffed, which is expected to take up to
four years.
The
increase will be phased in over the course of four years as
the department is established. The net tax effect of paying for a
fully
functioning
police department is an increase of $46 per $100,000
of assessed value of a home.
Property
owners may view the chart below to determine the approximate increase
to their property taxes or use the Tax
