Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Raftelis for the 2020 Impact Fee Analysis and Report Project.
Body
The City periodically updates its calculation of the water and wastewater impact fees. This report results in the calculation of the maximum the City can set for the Water portion and the Wastewater portion of its Impact Fee. In the past, the City Council has elected to assess the maximum allowed in an effort to ensure that new development pays for the necessary off-site infrastructure to serve their property. The most recently adopted impact fee analysis was completed in April of 2015 and set a Water Impact Fee of $4,025 and a Wastewater Impact Fee of $2,099. These fees are charged per Living Unit Equivalent (LUE) where one LUE is equal to a single family residence or a 5/8" water meter. Impact fees are assessed on the LUEs associated with the size of water meter installed at the property. This analysis is anticipated to be completed by April 2020. Currently, there are updates to the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan as well as the Water Distribution System Master Plan being performed by others. These reports are necessary in order to update the Impact Fee Analysis.
