SUMMARY
The Local Government Code Section 395.058 requires the Capital Improvement Advisory
Committee (CIAC) 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 April
1 , 2021 , to September 30, 2021. This report consists of assessing 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 on updating
the land use assumptions, capital improvements plan, and Impact Fees. These items
were last updated by the City in November 2020.

Figure 1 shows the groundwater and surface water produced and 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 significant
factors impacting water usage.

Figure 2 reflects the daily average of potable water produced each month over the last
five 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, Forest
Grove and Vizcaya Subdivisions, and the newly opened Kalahari Resort. The City
continues to promote reuse water 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 (ETJ). Over the past five years,
new single-family housing starts in the City have ranged from 556 to 929 per year. Single-
family permits issued have continued to increase to an average of about 80 permits per
month over the past six months. Most of the current construction activity is in the northeast
part of Round Rock in the Saul's Ranch, Vizcaya, Salerno, Quick Ranch, and University
Heights Subdivisions. There is also new single-family construction occurring in other parts
of the City in the Chisholm Trail Park, Preserve at Wyoming Springs, and Clear Creek
Subdivisions. Townhomes under construction include Sonoma Townhomes, Schulz
Townhomes, Townhomes at Gattis School Road, and Tiger Trail Townhomes. Most of
the Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) in Round Rock's ETJ are nearing buildout; however,
as noted in Figure 4, Siena MUD No. 2 continues to experience a steady number of new
housing starts.

Table 1 reflects the number of multi-family units permitted annually. Currently, there are
four multi-family complexes in plan review and five complexes under construction. These
include two Legacy facilities on University Boulevard and Red Bud Lane, Warner Ranch,
Round Rock Phase 2 behind the outlet mall, and Arrington Ridge.

Table 2 reflects the number of new commercial building permits issued annually. This
number has been steady, ranging from 25 to 50 annually, and commercial development
in the City continues to trend upward. Current permits are mostly office property, hotels,
small retail, light industrial, and restaurants.

Table 3 and Figure 5 summarize the Water and Wastewater Impact Fees collected for In-
City retail residential (single-family and multi-family) and commercial customers and Out-
of-City wholesale customers. From FY-17 to FY-19, there was an increase in the total
Impact Fees collected due to new developments; however, FY-20 showed a significant
decrease attributed to the virus pandemic. FY-21 indicates that the Impact Fee collections
in the City trended upward to prior FY-20 amounts, and Out-of-City wholesale decreased
in FY-21 mainly due to the buildout of many of the MUDs.

During the latest water model update in 2020, the City assumed that 1,433 LUEs per year
would be added to the water system. At an Impact Fee of $4,234 per LUE, this would
indicate that the City should be collecting approximately $6.07 million per year in Water
Impact Fees if the City's growth rate is as projected starting in FY-21.
In addition, the wastewater model update assumed that 1 ,027 LUEs would be added to
the wastewater system per year. At an Impact Fee of$1,799 per LUE, this would indicate
that the City should be collecting approximately $1.85 million per year in Wastewater
Impact Fees if the City's growth rate is as projected in FY-21 .
Comparing these assumptions to the actual Impact Fees collected indicates that the
number of new connections to our water and wastewater systems for FY-21 occurred as
expected.

Table 4 provides population projections for Round Rock and Round Rock's ETJ. These
projections, anticipating a steady growth rate, indicate that capital improvements to the
City's water and wastewater utility systems would be necessary to keep up with growth.
However, the annual estimates, shown in parenthesis, convey a slower growth rate in the
City limits than projected. New projections for "Inside City" from 2021 through 2030 are
currently being developed by the City's Planning and Development Services Department.

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, several surrounding cities have increased their
fees over the past few years and surpassed Round Rock. Round Rock's
philosophy is for new customers and developments to pay for the required capital
improvements due to the growth.

*Indicates the City has two different Wastewater Impact Fees, based on service area. The
number in the table above reflects the lowest fee charged by that City.
17 10/27/2021
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Due to the volatility in growth rates and infrastructure requirements, the City
recommends a review of the Impact Fees every three to four years. The current
Impact Fees were adopted on January 14, 2021, and went into effect on February
1 , 2021.
Over the past several years, the population growth in Round Rock has proceeded
slower than projected in the Impact Fee Analysis. However, the number of
connections to the water and wastewater systems has occurred as anticipated.
The next Capital Improvements Plan Progress Report will be presented to the
CIAC and the City Council in approximately six months.
