The City periodically updates its calculation of the water and wastewater impact fees. While
legally the City is required to perform this review every five years, it is generally conducted
every three to four years. This report results in the calculation of the maximum the City can
set for the Water portion and the Wastewater portion of its Impact Fee. In the past, the City
Council has elected to assess the maximum allowed in an effort to ensure that new
development pays for its own utility infrastructure. The most recently adopted impact fee
analysis was completed in April of 2012 and set a Water Impact Fee of $3,889 and a
Wastewater Impact Fee of $2,073. These fees are charged per Living Unit Equivalent
(LUE) where one LUE is equal to a single family residence or a 5/8" water meter. Impact
fees are assessed on the LUES associated with the size of water meter installed at the
property. This analysis is anticipated to be completed by April 2015.
Currently, there are updates to the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan as well as
the Water Distribution System Master Plan being performed by others. These reports are
necessary in order to update the Impact Fee Analysis.
Staff recommends approval.

EXHIBIT A
City Services
Update of Water and Wnstewater Impact Fees
• Define desired designated utility service area where fees could be charged
• Existing (2014) and prospective 10 -year (2023) land uses
• Number of current water customer water meters by size and sewer customer water meters
by size
• Evaluation of existing capacity (any changes since last fee update)
• Facility type
• Capacity
• Existing available capacity
• Original Cost
• Prospective ]0 -Year Capital Improvements Plan (any changes since last fee update)
• Facility type
• Capacity
• Est. cost
• Type of service (benefiting existing customers, new customers, or both)
• Design factors used in sizing various facilities
• Existing Water and Wastewater Debt (any changes since last fee update)
• Payment Schedule by bond series
• Projects funded in each series by facility type and $ amount
It is understood that the City and/or its other consulting engineers will provide information
related to the inventory of existing and 10 -yr future City water and wastewater utility facilities
by type, capacity and installed cost. It is also understood that the City and/or its other consulting
engineers will provide a consistent planning basis that underlies the CIPS development, including
land use, population, utility connections, and design unit flow assumptions used in average
demand and peak demand sizing facilities. Tine City and/or its other engineering consultants
shall also delineate what portion of any existing or new facilities are City versus Developer
funded. Early ht this impact fee effort, HDR will coordinate with these entities as to the desired
format and construct of this information needed in the impact fee calculations.
EXHIBIT B
Engineering Services
Update of Water and Wastewater Impact Fees
HDR will submit a data request (Exhibit A) to the City for information needed in updating the
impact fees. HDR will meet with City staff and its other consultants to coordinate the content
and format of the needed engineering and CIP information. Upon receipt of the satisfactory data,
HDR will then update the fee calculations under the provisions of Chapter 395 of the Texas
Local Government Code which will include:
• A delineation of the water and wastewater impact fee service area
• Existing and 10 -yr Future Land Use information underlying the water and wastewater
CIPS.
• A meter size inventory of water and wastewater customers and definition of Living Unit
Equivalents (LUES)
• An assessment of current and 10 -yr facility demand versus existing capacity to help
identify facility deficits which will require capital improvements
• A high-level inventory of existing and 10 -yr future utility facilities by type, capacity and
cost, as well as an allocation of existing and future demand to those existing and future
facilities, and a weighted average determination of the water and wastewater capital cost
of service per LUE.
• A delineation of existing and anticipated future utility debt that would be rate -supported
as an estimate of a rate credit that would offset the capital cost of service.
• Calculation of updated maximum water and wastewater impact fees
HDR will also provide technical support to the required Capital Improvement Advisory
Committee, produce its report to Council, and provide technical support to Council in its
deliberations on updating the fee. While HDR will draft the required Public Notice, it is
assumed that the City will provide for its timely publication at its own expense. In budgeting this
effort, I -IDR assumes two meetings with City staff, three with the Advisory Committee, and two
presentations to Council. It is also assumed that the City is responsible for advertising the Public
Notice prepared by HDR.

Work Schedule
Update of Water and Wastewater Impact Fees
Once Notice to Proceed is received, HDR will begin compiling the needed data and making
updates to the fee model where possible. However, our ability to proceed onward with the fee
efforts is contingent upon the timely provision of the updated water and wastewater CIP data.
Once the needed CIP is provided, and assuming timely cooperation of the Advisory Conmtittee,
HDR could have the draft fee update report ready for submittal to Council within 45 days. A
Public Hearing must then be scheduled with 30 days advance notice. Subsequent to the hearing,
Council can then proceed with ordinance action, if so determined. An anticipated schedule is
provided below, assuming timely receipt of CIP data and Advisory Committee action.

EXHIBIT D
Fee Schedule
HDR proposes to develop the impact fee update for $31,928, proposed on a time and
materials basis, not to be exceeded without advance written approval. This level of effort
assumes that the City develops the land use data and the Water and Wastewater CIPS with
the level of information needed as input to the fee calculations. HDR will coordinate the
information needed. The number of budgeted meetings is defined above. Extra
coordination meetings, beyond that identified above, would be considered additional
services at the identified hourly rate.
