Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 09/24/19 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 19-0198
LOG NAME: 60IMPACT 2019
SUBJECT
Authorize the Transfer from the Water Impact Fee Fund to the Water and Sewer Fund in the Amount up to $11,500,000.00 for the Purpose of
Paying Debt Associated with Impact Fee -Eligible Projects and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Appropriation Ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water Impact Fee Fund in the amount up to $11,500,000.00 from impact fees for the purpose of transferring to the Water and Sewer Fund to pay
for debt associated with impact fee -eligible projects.
DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize the transfer of impact fees to the Water and Sewer Fund. During the retail cost of service
studies for FY2019, it was determined that the use of impact fee revenues could lower the amount of water and sewer service revenue required to
balance Fiscal Year 2019 budgeted revenues and expenditures. While Section 35-70.9 (b) of the City Code, "Use of proceeds of impact fee
accounts", prohibits the use of impact fees for operating expenses, those proceeds can be used to pay principal and interest on debt associated
with projects eligible to be funded by impact fees. This transfer of the total amount up to $11,500,000.00 from Water Impact Fee revenue to the
Water and Sewer Fund will be used to pay principal and interest on existing revenue bonds used to fund impact fee -eligible projects.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will
be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, in the Water Impact Fee Fund and funds will be available in the current Fiscal Year 2019
operating budget in the Water and Sewer Fund. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the
availability of funds.
