TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Tim Lancaster, Chairman Impact Fee Advisory Committee
DATE: September 29, 201
SUBJECT: Recommended Water and Wastewater Impact Fees
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee -met with the City staff and representatives of
Freese and Nichols, Inc., on September 29, 2011 to review Maximum Water and
Wastewater Impact Fees that could be imposed for the Ten Year Planning Period of
2011 to 2021. In that meeting, the Freese and Nichols representatives submitted a draft
report addressing various elements of the second and final phase of developing Water
and Wastewater Impact Fees including mandated fee credits.
As with the 2002 and 2006 fees, the recommended fees are at 50% of the maximum
allowable fee in compliance with the 50% credit method of establishing fees outlined in
State Law.
The maximum allowable fee must be calculated to establish the upper limit for the fee
utilizing the credits required by the new law. The Council can then impose any fee less
than or equal to the maximum allowable.
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee recommends that the City Council consider
adopting the following maximum allowable fees:
MAXIMUM FEE AFTER 50% CREDIT
Water $ 1,431 per SFLUE
Wastewater $ 760 per SFLUE
Total $ 2,191 per SFLUE
The recommended fees represent a decrease of approximately 22% from the 2006
fees.
