FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 19, 2021
SUBJECT: SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE — AMENDMENT OF IMPACT
FEES FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER
RECOMMENDATION: City Council consider adopting a resolution establishing November 16,
2021 as the public hearing date to consider the amendment of land use
assumptions and a capital improvements plan and the imposition of an
impact fee for water and wastewater.
FUNDING SOURCE:
BACKGROUND: The Impact Fee Advisory Committee met with City staff and
representatives of Freese and Nichols, Inc., on July 12, August 23, and
September 27 to review the proposed Land Use Assumptions, Capital
Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for the ten year planning period of
2021 to 2031. In those meetings, the Freese and Nichols representatives
submitted a draft report addressing various elements of the proposed
Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for
the committee's review.
Based upon the projected population and total acreage of undeveloped
land, water and wastewater demands were developed for 2031. Utilizing
these water and wastewater demands, the City's water and wastewater
master plans, and additional staff input, Freese & Nichols developed the
Capital Improvements Plan for the planning period of 2021 to 2031. The
report provided an assessment of the City's water and wastewater
systems for projects constructed before 2021 and projects to be
constructed between 2021 and 2031.
The final report of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee will be presented
at the November 16, 2021 public hearing.
Staff recommends approval.
