SUMMARY
The Local Government Code Section 395.058 requires the Capital
Improvement Advisory Committee (CIRC) to report to the political subdivision
the progress of the capital improvements plan and any perceived inequities in
implementing the plan or imposing the Impact Fee. Included herein is the
semi-annual report for the reporting period of October 1, 2019, to March 31,
2020. This report consists of an assessment of the actual growth rate in
comparison to the projected growth rate, the status update of capital
improvement projects, and the Impact Fees collected during the reporting
period.
The local government code also requires the CIAC to advise the City Council
of the need to update the land use assumptions, capital improvements plan,
and Impact Fees. These items were last updated by the City in November
2015.

Figure 1 shows the groundwater and surface water produced along with the
number of active water services over the past two years. Although the City
continues to grow, the total water production remains relatively steady. Water
usage is highly dependent on weather patterns; however, the City's
conservation and reuse water programs are also making an impact.

Figure 2 reflects the daily average of potable water produced each month over
the past ten years. Total water production is dependent on weather
conditions; therefore, discretionary water usage is higher during the summer
months.

Figure 3 reflects the monthly potable treated water production and the Type I
Reuse treated water production. The City's reuse water system began
production in October 2012 with three customers: Old Settlers Park, Dell
Diamond, and Forest Creek Golf Course. The City has since expanded the
system to Forest Creek HOA, Legends Village Subdivision, Austin Community
College, Texas A&M Health Science Center, and the Forest Grove and Vizcaya
Subdivisions. The City continues to promote the reuse water system in the
Northeast part of Round Rock, and as depicted in Figure 3, the demand
continues to grow.

Figure 4 shows the number of new single-family building permits issued in the
City of Round Rock and the City's extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETI) over the
past ten years. The number of new housing starts per year in the City has
ranged from 222 to 911 annually. Single-family permits have slowed down
from FY-19, where 849 permits were issued, verses 313 permits issued for
the first half of FY-20. Most of the activity is in Madsen Ranch, Saul's Ranch,
Vizcaya, Cottages at Meadowlake, Diamond Oaks, Legends Village, Reserve at
Wyoming Springs, and Warner Ranch Duplexes. Several Municipal Utility
Districts (MUDS) located in Round Rock's ETJ, as noted in Figure 4, continue
to experience a steady number of new housing starts during this time as well.

Table 1 represents the number of multi-family units permitted annually.
Currently, there are three multi-family complexes under construction, Aura
Avery, Hollybrook, and The Plaza. There has been only one multi-family
complex permitted within the past six months, which is Aura Avery.

Table 3 and Figure 5 summarize the Water and Wastewater Impact Fees
collected for residential and commercial permits within the City, as well as
permits issued in the wholesale customer areas. For the past five years, there
was a significant increase in the total amount of Impact Fees collected due to
the construction of single-family residential, multi-family residential, and
commercial developments. However, for the first half of FY-20, we see a
decrease in total Impact Fee collections versus the previous years.

In 2015, the latest version of the water model assumed that 1,524 LUEs per
year would be added to the water system. For an Impact Fee of $4,025 per
LUE, this would indicate that the City should have collected approximately
$6.13 million per year in Water Impact Fees if the City's growth rate was as
projected.
The wastewater model assumed that 1,089 LUEs would be added to the
wastewater system per year. For an Impact Fee of $2,099 per LUE, this would
indicate that the City should have collected approximately $2.29 million per
year ;In Wastewater M pact FCes If the City's growth rate was as projected.
Comparing these assumptions to the actual Impact Fees collected indicates
that the number of new connections to our water and wastewater systems for
the first half of FY-20 is slightly lower than projected.

Table 4 provides population projections for Round Rock and Round Rock's ETJ.
These projections, anticipating a steady growth rate, indicate that to keep up
with growth, capital improvements to the City's water and wastewater utility
systems would be necessary. However, the annual estimates, shown in
parenthesis, convey a slower growth rate in the City limits than projected. The
2020 Census will allow us to reset the population projections going forward.

Table 8 compares Round Rock's Water and Wastewater Impact Fees to
surrounding cities and Municipal Utility Districts. Historically, Round
Rock had one of the highest total Impact Fees charged for new
connections to the water and wastewater systems. However, over the
past few years, several of the surrounding cities have increased their
fees and surpassed Round Rock. Round Rock's philosophy is for new
customers and developments to pay for the capital improvements that
are required due to the growth.

The CIAC and City Council approved the current Impact Fees, which
went into effect on March 11 2016. Although the population growth in
Round Rock is slightly lower than projected in the Impact Fee analysis,
the number of connections to the water and wastewater systems over
the past several years had been occurring as anticipated by the City.
However, over the past six months, the number of building permits
issued has slightly declined.
Due to the volatility in growth rates and infrastructure requirements,
the City recommends the Impact Fees be reviewed every three to four
years. In September 2019, the City commenced with updating the Water
and Wastewater Master Plans and anticipates completion around
September 2020, followed by updating our current Impact Fees. The
updated Impact Fees should be presented to the CIAC in
October/November 2020.
The next Capital Improvements Plan Progress Report will be presented
to the CIAC and the City Council in approximately six months.
