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 October 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022. 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 90 permits per month over the past six months. Most of the current
construction activity is in the northeast part of Round Rock in the Vizcaya, Salerno,
Quick Ranch, Homestead, 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, The Depot, 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 six complexes under
construction. These include two Legacy facilities on University Boulevard and Red
Bud Lane, Warner Ranch, Crossing at Palm Valley, 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 and light industrial. There are also permits in for hotels, small retail,
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. The annual estimates, shown in parenthesis,
convey a slower growth rate in the City limits than projected by the City in 2010.
However, recent new permits for single family and multi-family projects indicate
that we should "catch back up" to the trend initially projected.

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.

15
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.

RE: Capital Improvements Advisory Committee—Semi-Annual Meeting
Dear Mayor Morgan and Council Members:
The Capital Improvements Advisory Committee met on May 4,2022,to consider and approve the
semi-annual report to the City Council with respect to the progress of the Capital Improvements
Plan and identification of any perceived inequities in the Impact Fees.The findings are addressed in
Chapter 395.058(c)of the Texas Local Government Code.
After discussion,the Committee found no perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing
the Impact Fee.Therefore,a motion was made to approve and forward the report from the Utilities
and Environmental Services Department to the City Council,with updated city comparison data.
Sincerely,
Jeifer Henderson,Chairman
Capital Improvements Advisory Committee
