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.

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.
