Ms. Waggoner informed Council the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee, at their
October 5, 2017 meeting, recommended that City Council adopt the new rate, but
consider a phased implementation. Tonight a public hearing is being conducted to
receive input from the public. Staff will bring forward a proposed ordinance on January
8, 2018 that adopts land use assumptions and capital improvements plan, and to amend
impact fees. Ms. Waggoner commented that the rates will apply to plats approved after
the impact fee ordinance.
Council had no questions for staff.
Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak for or against the request to come
forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing.
The consensus of Council is to move forward with a phased implementation whereby
rates are incrementally increased over a two-year period with a 1/3 increase in rates
beginning with adoption year 1, then increasing twice more by 1/3 to arrive at the full rate
in year 3.
