Mr. Hoisted stated that the definition of the Impact Fee means a charge or assessment
imposed by a political subdivision against new development in order to generate
revenue for funding or recouping the cost for capital improvements or facility
expansions. The impact fees are highly dependent upon Land Use Plan.

The process for the fees are established by population projections over a ten year
period based on current Land Use Plan assumptions, then develop a list of projects
that are eligible for impact fee reimbursement or projects that have capacity built into
them. Mr. Hoisted further explained how the fees were established by the size of the
meter, as well as equivalent connections with commercial facilities.
Mr. Joe Carter, Birkhoff, Hendricks and Conway, Consultant, stated that the review
for the impact fees is established by the current Land Use Plan and then projection of
population rate for the next ten years. The current area that the city serves for water is
the same area for the next ten years. If additional property is annexed and served,
another review of the impact fee will be required.
However, the boundaries for the wastewater projection are not limited as the water
projection. The areas reviewed are not only what is currently served, but also within
the city's extra territorial jurisdiction, as well as within the drainage areas that serve
into the Muddy Creek Regional Plant.
Mr. Carter reviewed with the Committee the factors for the increase in the impact
fees. The Committee discussed with Mr. Carter the population ratio for the city and
comparison for the water distribution master plan in the surrounding area.
The consensus from the Committee was to appoint Chairman Larson as the
spokesperson for any comments to be added to the proposed water and sewer impact
fees.
A motion was made by Committee Member Pulliam, and seconded by Committee
Member Byboth, to recommend approval to the City Council, with no written
comments noted. Motion carried 7—0.
