<br /> <br />\"),"-.-,..---.., <br />Ct"",!"! <br /> <br /> <br />Police Cost Allocation Approach <br /> <br />To derive the proportionate share factors shown in Figure 15, police personnel analyzed <br />dispatched calls and officer initiated activity data for alternating months over the time <br />period of June 1999 through June of 2000. Calls for service to residential locations <br />accounted for 31% of the demand for service, while hotels were responsible for 21% of the <br />calls. Business locations, such as shopping centers and restaurants accounted for <br />approximately 48% of the demand for service. The category labeled "Other" accounts for <br />calls that could not be assigned to a particular type of development, such as calls to traffic <br />accidents. <br /> <br />Apartment hotels are a recent type of development that did not exist at the time the Police <br />Department determined proportionate share factors. However, the City expects the demand <br />for service from apartment hotels to be similar to the demand from resort hotels. <br /> <br />Figure 15 - Police Proportionate Share Factors <br /> <br /> Dispatched Calls and <br /> Officer Initiated Activity <br />Residential 1,412 31% <br />Hotels 977 21% <br />Businesses 2,185 48% <br />Other* 2,086 <br />TOTAL 6,660 <br /> <br />* Other are primarily traffic-related calls. <br />Source: City of Sunny Isles Beach Police Department (data <br />from alternating months, June 1999 through June 2000). <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />Tischler & Associates, Inc. <br />
