EXHIBIT A
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
APRIL 1, 2015 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
BY THE
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
February 16, 2016
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 5/8” water meter considered one service unit. Wastewater impact fees are not
charged when water meters are installed for water that will not enter the wastewater
system, such as landscape irrigation. The Ordinance established the following impact
fees:
Meter Size
(inches) Water Sewer Total
5/8” or 3/4” $1477.90 $524.70 $2,002.60
1” $3,694.75 $1,311.75 $5,006.50

properly approved by the City Council through Ordinance No. 1992. The assessment
and collection of water and wastewater impact fees was in accordance with the
guidelines of Ordinance No. 1992, and Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government
Code. All money collected was deposited into separate interest bearing accounts
reserved for impact fees.
