Included herein is the semiannual report for the reporting period of October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. The report includes an updated comparison of actual growth rate in comparison to the projections and assumption made in the report; projects completed or initiated during the period, and impact fees collected during the period. These comparisons are used as indicators of the need to update the land use assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan or Impact Fees. The local government code also requires the Advisory Committee to advise the City Council of the need to update the land use assumptions, capital improvements plan, and impact fees. At this time, it is not recommended these items be updated. IMPACT FEES COLLECTED YEAR TO DATE FISCAL YEAR 2005 Figure 1 Residential Water Impact Fees $ 3,483,125.00 Commercial Water Impact Fees $ 716,671.44 Residential Sewer Impact Fees $ 1,149,137.00 Commercial Sewer Impact Fees $ 156,669.00 Total Impact Fees $ 5,505,602.44 2 EXHIBIT ItAlt R:\@a ckulp\Impact Fee Report\Reports\Capital Improvements Plan Progress April 2006.doc 1 7/19/2006 CURRENT UTILITY DEMANDS Current water demands and Accumulative Rainfall are shown on Figures 2 and 3. Actual water usage has been below the projection because 2004 and early Spring 2005 were unusually wet periods resulting in lower demands for water. However this region is in an extended drought period and we anticipate water use to increase significantly if the current weather pattern continues.

Discussions are underway to negotiate a long term agreement with these two entities. The first phase of the project; 11,000 feet of waterline is in the process of being constructed. Lake Georgetown Raw Water Pump Station and Intake Expansion - The Water Treatment Plant expansion to a capacity of 48 Million Gallons Per Day was completed in Spring of 2004. The Raw Water Delivery System from Lake Georgetown to State Highway 29 is in the process of being expanded to 48 MGD so the full capacity at the treatment plant can be utilized. Design is currently 90% complete. Bids will be opened in the spring of 2006 and construction will be complete September 2007. Staff successfully tested the plant at 52 mgd and has applied to the state to re -rate the plant to provide for an additional 4 mgd Peak day capacity. McNutt Creek Interceptor - Staff negotiated an agreement with Double 3 MUD and Paloma Lake MUD who will participate in the McNutt Creek Interceptor project. The MUD's will pay approximately $5 million reducing the City's cost from $13.5 million to $8.5 million. Bids have been awarded on the project to Mole Kassouf, J.V. for $12.7 million.

It is not recommended that the Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan or Impact Fees be amended at this time. This, along with anticipated negotiations on the Regional Water System may progress to the point that the next report may recommend the Master Plan and Impact Fees be updated. The cost of pipe materials has significantly increased since the Impact Fee report was conducted in 2004 based upon recent bid openings.

Consider resolution accepting the Capital Improvement Plan Semiannual Report from the Capital Improvements Impact Fee Advisory Committee. Department: Water and Wastewater Utilities Staff Person: Tom Word, Chief of Public Works Operation Justification: The Local Government Code Section 395.058 requires the Capital Improvements Impact Fee Advisory Committee 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 semiannual report for the reporting period of October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. The Committee met on July 12, 2006 and reviewed the report and determined there are no inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the fee. Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: Capital Improvements Impact Fee Advisory Committee Background Information: Water and wastewater impact fees are charged to offset the cost of constructing infrastructure to keep up with development. Impact fees allow for growth to pay for itself rather than being paid for by ratepayers. The Advisory Committee is comprised of the Planning and Zoning Commission, a non-voting member from Williamson County and a non-voting member of the Home Builders Association of Austin. The committee meets semiannually to review the semiannual report and recommend to Council any perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the impact fee. Public Comment: N/A
