The County Board of School Trustees would then hold a hearing on the matter and make the decision. The extent of the tax burden on the City. 1) The services to be provided by the City are primarily aimed at protecting the health, safety, and general welfare of the people on campus, the majority of whom are taxpaying community members. 2) The majority of the Sangamon State campus is not annexed to the City and not within any fire district. If it were annexed to the City of Springfield, it would automatically fall within the Springfield Fire District. Both Northern Illinois University and Illinois State University contract out of their annual operating budgets with the respective local communities for fire protection. The formula is $4.00 per student based upon the FTE enrollment of the previous fall. Maximum payment is limited to 1/3 of the operating budget for the local fire department. Similar arrangements by Sangamon State University would minimize the annexation impact. 3) Sangamon State University plans to provide its own security police force minimizing the City of Springfield police service. 4) Because the campus presently has only one access road, new roadway construction is imminent. However, it is anticipated that the City will finance only a portion of the cost of new roadway, with the State and Federal Government paying the major portion of the cost. Many of the services provided by the City of Springfield would not be needed by the University. The City income from real estate taxes is distributed by the percentage listed below and used by the City for the purposes noted: *General Purpose Streets and Bridges Public Benefit Library Tax Playgrounds Firemen's Pension (continued) 22% 9% 4% 16% 8% 10%
