improvement plans as well as provide recommendations to the City Council of impact fee
collection rates. A public hearing process will conclude the study, and update of impact fees in

SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of an Agreement, with Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the Amount of
$600,000.00 to Update Land Use Assumptions and the Water and Sewer Impact Fee
Schedule, Incorporate Revisions in the Water and Sewer Capital Improvements Plan, and
Update Wastewater Model and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances (ALL COUNCIL

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinances increasing receipts and appropriations in the Water

from available funds; and
2. Authorize the execution of an Agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc., in an amount not to
exceed $600,000.00 to update the Water and Wastewater Land Use Assumptions and Capital
Improvements Plan for the purpose of revising the impact fee assessed for water and wastewater in
accordance with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code (City Project No. 102211).
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.
Since the early 1990s, the City has assessed Water and Wastewater Impact Fees pursuant to the
Chapter 35, Article III, and Division 2 of the City Code. State law and Section 35-70.13(a) of the City
Code requires that the City update the Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan at
least every five years, commencing from the date of adoption of such plans, and recalculate the
Impact Fees in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 395 of the Texas Local
Government Code. On December 6, 2016, the City Council approved the last update and the City
Council approved the revised impact fees to allow for the collection of 40 percent of the maximum
assessable water and wastewater fee per service unit(Ordinance No. 22525-12-2016).
To comply with City procedure and the Water Departments Wholesale Contracts, the Water
Department formed a Wholesale Customer Sub-advisory Committee and issued a Request For
Qualifications for the selection of an engineering consultant. After incorporating input from the
Wholesale Customer Sub-advisory Committee, Water Department staff has recommended Freese
and Nichols, Inc., be selected to conduct the update of the Land Use Assumptions and Capital
Improvements Plan for Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Update.
As part of the Water and Wastewater Impact Fee Update, Freese and Nichols, Inc. shall

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