SET DATE FOR NEXT I.F.A.C, MEETING Phillips said that the next meeting would be after the first of the year and that the Hogan Corporation wilt prepare the Capital Improvement Plan and they will calculate the Impact Fees. Parker opened discussion to determine when it would be convenient for the next meeting. After discussion, it was agreed that the next meeting date would be January 13, 1997 at 6:30 p.m. PRESENTATION OF THE WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM Phillips stated that MacLean would review the Water and Sewer Master Plan. MacLean gave an overview of the Water and Sewer layout. He explained the areas that were part of the bond program. He also located on the map the different areas of the City that have water main systems to be improved and are a part of the bond program. He stated that at some point there will need an interceptor sewer which will run on the East side of 1378, up through the Birmingham property and eventually to Newport Harbor and that this will be included in the calculation of Capital Improvements. He said that there are other considerations that need to be included in the calculations such as locating a new facility for wastewater treatment plant. MacLean said that a location around Pleasant Valley had been identified. He said a meeting has been held with North Texas Municipal Water District to discuss the wastewater treatment plant. He said cost for a wastewater treatment plant would be about one dollar per gallon. Minutes of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee, December 9, 1996, Page 1 MacLean stated in the last plan it was identified that on the East side of town, it was proposed some sewers coming down by the lake and at the present there is not a great deal of development. He said a decision may be made to drop this area off the 10 year plan. MacLean said that the Twin Lakes Subdivision and Century Business Park lift stations would be eliminated as would the Rush Creek lift station and they would all be taken care of by using the wastewater treatment plant. He said not included in the 10 year plan was the recently acquired annexed property from the Parker ELI Parker asked if the area in St. Paul and Parker would need to be included in the 10 year plan. MacLean stated that if the opportunity presents itself, the Hogan Corporation is now looking into the possibility of acquiring Northeast Water Supply and East Fork Water District. He said it behooves the city to be ready should the opportunity arise and concerning the impact fees, the capital improvement plan and the 10 year water and sewer plan, the committee also needs to take that into consideration. He stated that the next step will be to refine the map to get more detail, develop a cost for the infrastructure, which will be capital improvement portion of the 10 year plan. Parker asked if some of the items that are now being used by bonds will be in our future calculations of our impact. MacLean stated that this was correct, the fees collected in the future can be used to retire the debt. Eckman wanted to know how far the current storage tank system and when would it need to be replaced. MacLean stated that it would be good until about 18,000 to 20,000 people. Phillips stated that before Phase Ill, IV and V of the Newport Harbor Subdivision can be completed, a new lift station will have to be built. He said this would mean that we would have impact fees from 355 houses which can contribute to help fund the trunk and if we can get the funding on line prior to having to build the lift station, the developer would probably be more than happy to contribute the money for the cost of the line. MacLean stated that at the next meeting the water and sewer update, capital improvements, and impact fee calculations. He said the committee will develop a consensus to recommend to Council to adopt the CIP and to adopt the impact fees whatever the committee sets. ADJOURNMENT As there was no further business to come before the committee for consideration, the meeting was adjourned.
