GN 93-78 MINUTES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICH LAND HILLS, TEXAS June 10,1993 - 8:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by Acting Chairman Don Bowen at 8:00 p.m. PRESENT Acting Chairman Don Bowen Members Ron Lueck Paul Miller Fred Wilson Steve Pence Clayton Husband James Brock David Barfield Victor Baxter Wayne Moody Building Official PZ Coordinator ABSENT Consideration of Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Three Year Review Mr. Keith Reed, of Reed-Stowe & Company, 12770 Coit Road, Dallas, came forward to speak. He stated the initial fees were calculated in 1990. He stated State law mandates that the fees be revisited every three years to see if the city is over-collecting in excess of ten percent. He stated the law allows cities to collect up to ten percent over their actual cost without paying rebates to payers. Mr. Reed stated his report was sent to the Committee and the Council about two weeks ago. He stated the report was broken down into two sections: water service and wastewater service. He stated the report states that the city is substantially under the ten percent over charging. He stated the CIP is very well on track with what was to be constructed. Mr. Reed stated the plan was for a ten year period, 1990-2~, and we are looking at the first three years of the plan. He stated the water impact fee variance was about 2-percent, and wastewater about 2.19-percent. Mr. Reed stated his recommendations are as follows: 1) the Committee adopt a resolution, forwarded to the City Council, that the impact fees do not need recalculation at this time; 2) the Land Use Assumption Plan does not need to be revisited at this time; and 3) the Capital Improvements Plan does not need to be revisited at this time. He stated that Knowlton-English- Flowers submitted a letter stating that the Land Use Plan adopted in 1992 was of minor impact to the CIP or impact fee structure. He stated the City Attorney has submitted a legal opinion agreeing to that point also. Mr. Reed stated that the City will need to meet certain notification requirements and public hearing requirements regarding the decision. He stated the Committee has several options to choose from, but the recommendation is as stated. Mr. Wilson asked if the City was high or low on the fee. CIAC Minutes - Page 2 June 10, 1993 Mr. Reed stated the City is high on the fee. He stated the first three years were done with construction estimates. He stated the next three years will be based on construction estimates that are five and six years old. He stated that percentage could move slightly up or down. Mr. LeBaron stated that since most of the members on this Committee are new, at the next meeting on this subject, they could invite Mr. Reed, Mr. Richard Albin of KEF, and Mr. Greg Dickens, Public Works Director, to come out and give everyone a refresher course on how impact fees are calculated and work. Mr. Wilson asked if the variances on the fees were calculated at smaller intervals than three years. Mr. Reed stated you can estimate the variance based on the construction cost estimates and the actual construction costs. He stated the fees are based on living unit equivalents that are derived from the Land Use Assumption Plan. Mr. Wilson asked if Mr. Reed had an idea about when the City should recalculate the impact fees. Mr. Reed stated it depends on the growth pattern of the city within the next two years. He stated unplanned growth may cost the city money. He stated the Committee can revisit the impact fees every year, but the law only requires that a recommendation be made every three years. Mr. Lueck asked if they approve GN 93-78, would that accomplish what the Committee needs to do tonight. Mr. LeBaron stated he has summarized the four items that would be incorporated into a resolution if the Committee approved GN 93-78. He stated the items are: 1) the impact fees do not need to be recalculated at this time; 2) the Land Use Plan not be revisited at this time; 3) the Capital Improvements Plan not be revisited at this time; and 4) the 1992 Land Use Plan does not constitute a material change from the 1990 land use assumptions. Mr. Wilson made the motion to approve GN 93-78 as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Miller, and the motion carried 4-0. CITIZEN COMMENTS None.
