DEVELOPED PROPERTY <br /> From the data supplied by Table VI we have determined the typical activity <br /> costs of a developed property abatement to be $74.38. Multiplied by the <br /> Division's overhead rate of 32.8 % this figure yields an overhead cost of <br /> $24.40 which, when added to this typical abatement cost, shows a total <br /> activity cost of $98.78 per abatement. In the previous section we calculated <br /> administration costs per inspected or abated developed property to be $5.67. <br /> Multiplied by the Division's overhead rate this figure yields an overhead cost <br /> of $1.86 which, when added to the calculated administration cost, shows a <br /> total administration cost of $7.53 per abatement. Added to the total activity <br /> related cost for such an abatement of $98.78, we get $106.31 in total costs <br /> incurred by the City's Vegetation Management Program in the abatement of <br /> developed property vegetation nuisances. <br /> For those developed property nuisance complaints that were inspected but did <br /> not require abatement by the City, we show an average operations activity cost <br /> of $21.80. Multiplied by the Division's overhead rate this figure yields an <br /> overhead cost of $7.15 which, when added to the average non abated complaint <br /> cost, shows an average total activity cost of $28.95 for each such complaint <br /> that was inspected but not abated. When the total administration cost of <br /> $7.53 for each inspected developed property complaint is added we get a total <br /> of $36.48 incurred by the City's Vegetation Management Program in the process- <br /> ing and investigation of each developed property complaint that did not <br /> require abatement by the City. <br /> UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY <br /> From the data supplied by Table VI we have determined the typical activity <br /> costs of an undeveloped property abatement to be $67.85. Multiplied by the <br /> Division's overhead rate of 32.8 % this figure yields an overhead cost of <br /> $22.26 which, when added to this typical abatement cost, shows a total <br /> activity cost of $90.11 per undeveloped property abatement. The previously <br /> calculated administration costs per inspected or abated undeveloped property <br /> is only $.37. Multiplied by the Division's overhead rate this figure yields <br /> an overhead cost of $.12 which, when added to the calculated administration <br /> cost, shows a total administration cost of $.49 per abatement. Added to the <br /> total activity related cost for such an abatement of $90.11, we get $90.60 in <br /> total costs incurred by the City's Vegetation Management Program in the <br /> abatement of undeveloped property vegetation nuisances. <br /> For all those undeveloped properties that were inspected but did not require <br /> abatement by the City, we show an average operations activity cost of $1.07. <br /> Multiplied by the Division's overhead rate this figure yields an overhead cost <br /> of $.35 which, when added to the average operations activity cost for each <br /> property inspected, shows an average total activity cost of $1.42 for each <br /> such property that was inspected. When the total administration cost of $.49 <br /> for each inspected undeveloped property is added we get a total of $1.91 <br /> incurred by the City's Vegetation Management Program for each undeveloped <br /> property that was inspected but did not require abatement by the City. <br /> Vegetation Program <br /> Cost Analysis 17 <br />
