ITEM 2 CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 09-02-CIAC
Consideration of a resolution adopting the Capital Improvements Advisory
Committee Semi-Annual Reports for the period of April 1, 2009 through
September 30, 2009 and conveying it to the City Council.
Chris Barker, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief description of the
case. The City Council appointed the Planning and Zoning Commission to serve as the
Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC). Section 358.058 of the Local
Government Code established this advisory committee to file semi-annual reports with
respect to the progress of the capital improvements plan and report to the City Council
any perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the impact fee. Attached
is Resolution No. 09-02-CIAC conveying the Semi-Annual report for the period of April
1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 (Exhibit A). During this period, impact fees totaling
$288,499.98 were allocated for the following: Water Tower Debt Payment (Project
WT0101) for $128,499.98; Trinity River Authority (TRA) Debt Payment (Project
WT0901) for $100,000.00; and Trinity River Authority (TRA) Debt Payment (Project
WW0605) for $60,000.00. The Impact Fee Fund is divided into separate funds, with the
amounts available as of September 30, 2009 as follows: Water Impact Fee Funds is
$2,602,286.81; Wastewater Impact Fee Funds is $672,511.20. Resolution No. 09-02-
CIAC recommends no changes to the Capital Improvements Plan or the implementation
of the Impact Fee Program.
Vice Chairman Bearden asked how much is owed on the water tower for the TRA
payment.
Ron Young stated it was about a $2 million water tower and the city has been paying on
it for the past 7 to 8 years so it is getting closer.
Vice Chairman Bearden asked how much is owed to TRA.
Ron Young stated he is not certain on the original amount but the city's portion for the
water and wastewater plant expansion to increase capacity could be paid with impact
fees. That is why the numbers are so similar each time.
Commissioner Mennis made a motion to adopt and forward case #09-02-CIAC to City
Council. Commissioner Portugal seconded the motion. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Chairman McNeese, Vice Chairman Bearden, Commissioners Zahn, Huffman,
Portugal, Mennis, and Brown
Nays: None
Abstention: None
The motion carried (7-0-0)
