Mr. Hoisted reviewed advantage of impact fees. A chart comparing the water and sanitary
sewer rates are comparable with rates from surrounding cities. A word of caution is that
anything that is not funded with Capital Improvements through impact fees, the only other
source is funded through the water and sewer rates. Staff expects the water rate to go down at
the next ten year study, because the water system will be built out.
The water impact fee is going up due to fewer connections for the next ten years, as
previously assumed in the last report. The sewer side is also going down, and this is due to
the sewer system is essentially built out. The city has funded many Capital Improvements
with impact fees, the Creekside 2MG elevated tank, past five to six years on the wastewater
treatment was paid out of impact fees. Staff feels there are many advantages to have impact
fees.
Mr. Hoisted stated that the chart that was included in the packet for the size and rate of the
impact fees all equivalent to single family residential use, it is a mathematical calculation
based on flow and how much from a larger meter. The funds listed within the Capital
Improvement plan can only be spent on those projects, additional capacity and may not be
spent on operational and maintenance costs.
Mr. Hoisted stated that incentives for water reduction rates from a developer are encouraged
and City Council ultimately makes the decision on approving the proposal. The Impact Fee
Study report does not include incentives or include ways for water reduction. However, Staff
from Planning and Engineering will review proposals and suggest landscaping alternatives.
Ms. 011ie reviewed additional that was added in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, for
Hazard Mitigation stating this guideline to be used in case of an emergency and possibly
assist in reimbursement.
Committee Members discussed ways to have identification signs, and recommended painting
street locations of major intersections to assist mitigation efforts.
A motion was made by Committee Member Dahl, and seconded by Committee Member
Pulliam, to approve the Comprehensive Land Use Plan with no notations and proceed
forward. Motion carried 8 0.
A motion was made by Committee Member Tamez, and seconded by Committee Member
Smith, to approve the Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvement Plan and modifications
of impact fees as presented. Motion carried 8 - 0.
