That leaves Baton Rouge contributing $16.8 million to fund the costs of services benefitting the entire parish. The costs of those services is $193.7 million.
I live outside of the city, but am I paying for the BRFD, City Police, the Constable's Office, and other services not given to me because I live outside of the city?
I think it is safe to conclude that the residents of Baton Rouge derive more than 8.67% of the benefit from parishwide services that they contribute to the costs.

So what would be a fair amount for the city to contribute?
Let us know so we can annex enough to make that contribution.

BR should pay for services exclusive to them, right? And the entire parish should share in services required for the entire parish, right?
So if BR has half the population of the entire parish(approx.) you would think they would pay more than 16.8 million dollars for parish services that total 193 million dollars.
I think something is out of whack here provided your numbers are correct.
