DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the establishment of a water main capacity charge for a developer initiated 24-inch
water transmission main extension (City Project No. 101021, Contract No. 50407). Forestar (USA) Real Estate Group, Inc., constructed the offsite
24-inch water transmission main to serve their private developments in areas along Farm to Market (FM) 156 and State Highway 114 that lie within
the Northside II pressure plane. The City did not cost participate in the construction of the 24-inch water transmission main. The purpose of this
charge is to recover costs from private developments not associated with the McKelvey -Cole developments that have been recently annexed or
currently reside in the City of Fort Worth's extraterritorial jurisdiction along FM 156. This area is defined by Exhibit A that is attached to this M&C.
The qualified costs used to establish this water main capacity charge are outlined below:

The water main capacity charge for the 24-inch water transmission main is $274,951.49 per million gallons per day (MGD) in accordance with City
Code Section 35-92. The percentage of the water main capacity charge collected that will be eligible to be reimbursed to Forestar (USA) Real
Estate Group, Inc., shall be 100%. The collection period for the developer shall be 20 years or until the maximum reimbursable amount has been
received, whichever occurs first.
The boundary area, as shown in Exhibit A, is determined for the purpose of assessment review. The boundary is used as a guideline, not as a
definitive boundary for service area due to the possibility of varying lot sizes that may be proposed. If a plat meets the definition of other
development stated in the water main capacity charge policy, then the plat will be assessed the water main capacity charge even though the plat
may be located adjacent to, within, and/or outside the boundary area. The adoption of this charge is in accordance with Chapter 35, Water and
Sewers, Division IV, Water Main Capacity Charges.
The water main capacity charge boundary is located in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and Council District 7.
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 establishment of the charge, funds will be deposited into
the Water & Sewer Fund. The Water Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due
to the City.
