BY THE
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
NOVEMBER 19, 2024
PURPOSE
This semi-annual report was prepared by the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee
to advise the City Council of the progress of Water and Wastewater Impact Fees and the
Capital Improvements Plan, as well as any perceived inequities found in implementing
the Plan or imposing the impact fees. It is intended to satisfy the requirements of Chapter
395 of the Local Government Code.
LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS
The Land Use Assumptions, adopted by City Ordinance No. 1992 on April 9, 2013
provides a description of the City's water and wastewater service area, as well as
projections of changes in land use densities and intensities, and projections of population
changes in the service area. The Land Use Assumptions have been deemed appropriate
for use as the basis for the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN:
WATER AND WASTEWATER
Appendices A and B of the 2013 Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Review and Update
show eligible existing facility costs and eligible proposed facility costs identified in the CIP
adopted for water and wastewater. Pages 10-13 of the same report describe the Living
Unit Equivalency and Maximum Impact Fee calculations. The CIP is progressing at a
pace that meets the demands of the City of Euless. Additions to the water and wastewater
systems will be implemented as development occurs within those areas of the City
needing additional capacity.
IMPACT FEE CHARGES
The impact fee calculations show the actual cost of providing capital improvements
needed to maintain the current level of service were $2,955.80 per service unit for water
facilities and $1,049.40 per service unit for wastewater facilities. These figures represent
the maximum impact fee per service unit that could be charged by the City.
Impact fees set by the City Council in April of 2013 were 50% of the maximum impact fee
amount allowed. City Council Ordinance No. 1992 established impact fees per service
unit of $1,477.90 for water facilities and $524.70 for wastewater facilities. The Fees
charged for both water and wastewater facilities are based on water meter size, with a
