$129,400.00 in the Water Capital Projects Fund and $129,400.00 in the Sewer Capital Projects Fund;

DISCUSSION:
Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code provides authorization for local governments to enact
and impose impact fees for capital improvements related to water and wastewater facilities, storm drainage
and flood control facilities and roadway facilities.
On June 6, 1990, the Fort Worth City Council adopted Ordinance No. 10601, which was subsequently
amended and replaced by Ordinance No. 10871 on July 2, 1991, implementing water and wastewater
impact fees. The State law further requires that the City update the Land Use Assumptions and Capital
Improvements Plan at least every five years, commencing from the date of the adoption of the Capital
Improvements Plan. On May 18, 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 15982, effective June 6,
2004, which updated Land Use Assumptions and the Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Plan
and provided for collection of 35 percent of the maximum assessable water and wastewater impact fees per
service unit. On October 11, 2005, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 16648-10-2005 increasing the
collection rate for water and wastewater impact fees from 35 percent to 50 percent over athree-year period
beginning January 10, 2006.

customer representatives have undergone an extensive proposal and selection process to select the
consultant for the updating of Fort Worth's Water and Wastewater Impact Fee studies. After evaluating
qualified consultants, Water Department staff and the wholesale customer representatives have
recommended Red Oak Consulting, a division of Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., to conduct the Impact Fee Study
Update Report.

Ordinances. Additional reports to review include the Water and Wastewater Master Plan, Facilities Plan and
Semi-Annual Impact Fee reports;

with Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 395;
• Participate with staff in meetings with the Fort Worth Citizen Advisory Committee on Impact Fees,
participate in meetings with the Wholesale Water and Wastewater Advisory Committees and Sub-
committees on impact fees, and participate in public hearings and City Council meetings concerning the
impact fee studies;
• Ramifications of including or excluding water and wastewater pipe and service values in the Impact fee
calculation;
Recovery of City costs in certain developments;
• The need for and efficiency of an Impact Fee differential between inside City and outside City retail
service; and
Evaluation of an Impact Fee differential between wholesale and retail customers.
Red Oak Consulting, a division of Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance
by committing to 29 percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 20 percent.
