Agenda Item No. 11C2.
Consider a resolution setting the date, time and place for a Public Hearing regarding
proposed amendments to the land use assumptions, the capital improvements plan, and
Agenda Caption: the water and wastewater impact fees.
Meeting Date: April 12,2012
Department: Utilities and Environmental Services
Staff Person making presentation: Michael Thane, P.E.
Utilities Director
Item Summary:
The City last updated the water and wastewater impact fees in January 2009. At that time, the City made a
commitment to review the existing impact fees that new customers are charged for tying into the water and
wastewater systems every 3 years. As part of the process to update the impact fees,the City reviewed and updated
the existing land use plan, annexation plan, and the water and wastewater system capital improvement/master
plans. Since the latest plan updates, there are several projects that will have a direct influence on the new impact
fees. These improvements have been included in our Updated Water and Wastewater System Master Plans and in
the new impact fee calculation. The current impact fees that are charged to new customers connecting to the City's
water and wastewater system are: water$4,446 and wastewater$2,383 per Living Unit Equivalent. A presentation
of the draft report of the proposed impact fees was made to the City's Capital Improvement Advisory Committee
(CIAC) on March 7, 2012 and the final report was presented to the CIAC on April 11, 2012. The committee's
comments have been addressed in the final report.
A public hearing for the proposed water and wastewater impact fees will be held on May 24, 2012 at 7 p.m. to
consider the amendment of land use assumptions, a capital improvements plan, and imposition of updated impact
fees for new or expanded services from the City of Round Rock water and/or wastewater utilities.

"NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDMENT OF
WATER AND WASTEWATER IMPACT FEES"
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Round Rock, Texas
will hold a public hearing at the Round Rock City Council Chambers, located at 221 E.
Main St., Round Rock, Texas on May 24, 2012 at 7pm to consider the amendment of
land use assumptions, a capital improvements plan, and imposition of updated impact
fees for new or expanded services from the City of Round Rock water and/or wastewater
utilities.
The potential impact fee application area of the City of Round Rock,the shaded area shown in the
map below, is where the fee may be levied in-full or in-part, depending on the service arrangement
and in no way obligates the City to extend service beyond its incorporated area. The maximum
amount of impact fee that can be charged per living units equivalent has been recently updated and
calculated to be $3,932 for water service and $2,073 for wastewater service, which represents a
decrease of$824 per LUE from the current fee levels. The City's Capital Improvements Advisory
Committee has recommended to Council that the fees be set at the updated maximum calculated
amount. The exact amount of the impact fees to be levied, at or below the updated maximums, will
be determined by the Round Rock City Council subsequent to the Public Hearing.
Any person has the right to appear at the hearing and present evidence for or against the proposed
fee. Information on prospective growth, land uses, and capital improvements that were used to
calculate the maximum fee amount is available from the Round Rock Utilities Administration Office,
located at 212 Commerce Blvd., Round Rock, TX 78664 from 8 am to 5 pm weekdays.

2012 Update of the Water and Wastewater
Impact Fees for the City of Round Rock
1.0 Introduction and Summary
The City of Round Rock (City) is in the process of updating its water and wastewater
impact fees to keep the fee current with its service area and updated CIP information. This
report presents HDR Engineering, Inc.'s (HDR) maximum impact fee determination for
consideration by the City's Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIRC) and the Round
Rock City Council, as well as the CIAC's recommendations on effective fee levels..
The methodology to determine the maximum fee amount considers two options.
Consistent with State law, each fee component is calculated with either: (1) consideration of a
credit for other methods of payments for utility capital by a new customer, such as through utility
rates or taxes, or alternatively, (2) a reduction of maximum fee amount equal to 50% of the unit
capital cost of providing new service. By maximum amounts, this means that the determined fee
amount was calculated as the highest that can be lawfully levied by the City, given the
prospective land uses and capital improvements plan, the cost of existing and new utility
capacity, and consideration of a credit to new customers for capital contributions made through
rate payments. The City Council can decide to enact fees less than the maximum amounts
shown in this report.
As detailed later in this report, the maximum impact fees were developed in component
pieces. For instance, the overall water fee is comprised of separate amounts for water supply,
treatment, pumping, elevated storage, ground storage, and transmission. This will facilitate the
consideration of offsets or credits from the applicable fee if a developer builds and dedicates
eligible facilities to the City or the City provides wholesale service to a neighboring utility and
wishes to charge only certain portions of the fee. The maximum fee amounts do not include
capital costs for any donated facilities provided by developers at their own expense.
Planning, service demand, and design factor assumptions used in the water and
wastewater facility sizing and costing were developed by CDM and Atkins engineers,
respectively. Data on existing utility assets, outstanding utility debt, and prospective cash versus
debt financing were obtained from or coordinated with the City of Round Rock staff. HDR
combined these elements into the maximum impact fee calculations presented in this report.

2.0 Utility Service and Fee Application Area
The City's extra-territorial jurisdiction(ETJ)was used as the primary basis for the impact
fee service area of the City shown in Figure 1. This fee application area boundary will comprise
the area in which Round Rock may levy the impact fees, in-part or in-full, if City service is
provided. This boundary does not, however, imply a legal obligation of the City of Round Rock
to serve beyond its incorporated limits. If the City does not provide service, in full or in-part,
then the impact fees would not apply.

3.0 Land Use Assumptions
Table 1 provides an estimate of the current and anticipated future land uses of the water
and wastewater service areas of the City of Round Rock. Currently, developed land uses
comprise about 48 to 54 percent of the wastewater and water service areas, respectively.
Residential land uses are the largest land use in each utility service area, encompassing from 26
to 31 percent of the total wastewater and water services areas,respectively.

gals/day/public acre 2,183 710 1,900 608
Over time as the City grows into its future ETJ and utility service area boundaries,
developed land areas will both increase and become a higher percentage of overall land uses,
anticipated to encompass 82 to 84 percent of the future utility service areas. Projected residential
land uses are expected to increase to 45 to 46 percent of the wastewater and water service areas
with other developed land uses also increasing by about the same amount.

and wastewater service areas do not overlap wastewater 108,868 166,461 52.9%
completely. The City's certificated water service area is currently more developed than its
wastewater service area, but ultimately is more growth constrained in area. Consequently, the
water and wastewater service area populations are anticipated to grow at slightly different rates
as shown in Table 2.

amount to service requests of varying meter sizes.
Tables 4 and 5 summarize the City's current and projected water and wastewater service
demands and existing supply (service) capabilities by facility. Current and future service
demands are also compared with the existing service capacity of the utility systems.
With the anticipated rapid growth of the City and surrounding area, potable water utility
demand in certain service areas is expected to exceed the available capacity of raw and treated
water supply, elevated storage, and transmission facilities during the planning period and new
water capital projects are needed. Additional facilities need was also identified for wastewater
treatment, pumping, and interceptors within the future 10-year period. In a growth environment,
it is common for future deficiencies to be identified and planned for. The City's updates its
water and wastewater master plans and associated impact fees every three years to keep current
with changing conditions, plan for, and implement projects in a timely and cost-effective manner
to meet these future needs.

5.0 Identified Major Capital Improvement Needs and Costs
Given the projected growth in water and wastewater demands, existing capacity, and the
modeling of additional infrastructure needs, various additional facilities have been identified to
help meet the needs for the next 10 years. In year 2012 dollars, the City's anticipated 10-year
need for new utility capacity totals $154.5 million for water and $67.1 million for wastewater.
In general, recent and anticipated construction costs are less than the cost estimates
previously indicated in the previous 2008 update of the fees. At the time of the 2008 update,
materials, commodity, and construction prices were high, due booming economic conditions
regionally, nationally and internationally. Shortly thereafter, the financial and housing crisis and
subsequent recession substantially reduced new construction and alleviated pressure on
construction materials and labor prices. These more favorable prices are reflected in this 2012
update.
The continued and projected rapid growth of the City has necessitated the need for major
water supply and treatment projects. The previous increase in the City's Lake Stillhouse Hollow
water supply capacity will be fully utilized within the 10-year planning period. A new water
supply from Lake Travis is now underway to meet the additional water demands during the
remainder of the 10-year planning period. The Cities of Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander
have formed a Local Government Corporation called the Brushy Creek Regional Utility
Authority (BCRUA) as part of a regional partnership to build water supply, treatment, and
transmission facilities to serve those three entities from Lake Travis. The City of Round Rock
has begun the first phases of its treated water delivery system in order to allow the Cities of
Round Rock and Cedar Park to share existing supplies and postpone the completion of the first
phase of the new supply and treatment facilities. The costs shown in Table 6a for the BCRUA's
Lake Travis supply are only those costs and capacities attributable to the City of Round Rock.
As indicated in Tables 5 and 6b, the City will exceed its existing share of the Brushy
Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility capacity by the end of the 10-year period. The
projected need for additional capacity in the next 10 years will necessitate a major expansion of
the plant. The significant growth in new areas of the City will require significant new phases of
the City's interceptor system, including the large McNutt Basin sewer interceptor system.

2012 Update of the Water and Wastewater
Impact Fees for the City of Round Rock
Tables 6a and 6b show the details related to the existing capacity of the water and
wastewater systems and proposed new facilities along with their cost, capacity, unit cost, and
allocation of existing and projected demand to these facilities. A weighted unit cost of service
($per LUE) is then calculated by facility type based on the proportionate share of use of existing
and new facility capacity by the growth anticipated over the next 10 years.
6.0 Consideration of Other Methods of Capital Payment
For utilities that charge an impact fee, the new customer generally pays for capital in two
ways: (1) initially through the up-front impact fee, and (2) over the longer-term through utility
rate payments, where typically some portion of customer rate payments also funds capital
projects.
The recent 77th Texas Legislature amended Chapter 395 of the Local Government to
require either: (1) a calculated credit for rate payments is reflected in the fee amount, or (2) a
credit equal to 50% of the total projected cost of the capital improvements plan be given in
calculating the maximum fee amount.
Table 7 indicates the estimated cost per LUE that is projected to be borne in the utility
rates by the average new customer. The rate credit calculation considered: (1)existing capital
obligation to wholesale providers, (2) existing debt, (3) future debt payments incurred in the year
in which the facilities would be built and financed, and (4) the projected LUES at the mid-point
year of the weighted average life of the debt for the facilities that are part of the impact fee
calculation for each utility.
7.0 Alternative Impact Fee Calculations
Table 8 summarizes the unit capital cost of providing new service and the two alternative
credit calculations for new customers. The alternative approach that calculates a specific rate
credit (Option A) results in the maximum impact fee calculation of$3,890 per LUE for water
and $2,073 per LUE for wastewater,totaling $5,963 per LUE.
As shown in Table 8, the alternative 50% of capital cost method for calculating a rate
credit (Option B) results in a lesser water impact fee of$2,258 per LUE and wastewater fee of
$1,276 per LUE, yielding an overall $3,534 per LUE.

The fee methodology was replicated for each major facility type in the utility system
(e.g., supply, treatment, pumping, etc.) so that the total fee amount is the sum of the component
facility fees. This provides a basis for extending the fee to wholesale customers of the City or
granting fee offsets if a developer cost-participates with the City on CIP projects.
For comparison purposes,the impact fees of other near-by cities are listed in Table 9.

Impact Fees for the City of Round Rock
It should be noted that, in many cases,these other utilities' fees are not an"apples to
apples"comparison with Round Rock. Some have not been updated in recent years. Those
entities who have incurred significant costs in acquiring new water supply or water and/or
wastewater treatment capacity and have recently updated their fees are probably most
comparable.
While Leander and Cedar Park are participating with Round Rock in the new Lake Travis
water supply,they have not recently updated their fees to reflect such. Probably,the most
comparable entity is the City of Hutto, who has recently acquired a new, somewhat expensive,
groundwater supply that is reflected in their current water fee. Hutto is also in the process of
updating their fees again with the intent of reflecting realized costs in acquiring their wastewater
treatment plant from LCRA, as well as the cost of other wastewater capital projects.

Impact Fees for the City of Round Rock
The Advisory Committee has made the following findings and recommendations:
❑ The land use assumptions and Capital Improvements Plans underlying the maximum
fee calculations are reasonable and are consistent with State law and good
engineering practices.
❑ A fair balance between utility rate and impact fee support of capital improvements
would be achieved, in the Committee's opinion, with the water impact fee at 100%
and wastewater impact fees at 100%of the maximum fee amount.
By a unanimous vote, the Advisory Committee forwards to the Round Rock City Council
the following maximum fee calculations and fee recommendations:
