This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the establishment of a water main capacity charge for a developer initiated 16-inch
water main extension, and an eight inch recirculation water main (City Project No. 02749 and 100076, M&C C-27705). PB Ventana 1, LLC,

inch transmission main in order to serve surrounding areas within the Westside III pressure plane. This water main capacity charge includes the
24-inch transmission main and the eight inch water recirculation line along Veale Ranch Parkway (City Project No. 100076) and in the Ventana
Tank/Pump Station (City Project No. 02749).

The water main capacity charge for the 24-inch water transmission main and eight inch recirculation water main is $97,535.72 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 PB Ventana 1, LLC, shall be 30% and to the Fort Worth Water Department is 70%. The collection period for the developer shall be
20 years or until the maximum reimbursable amount has been received, whichever occurs first. There is no restriction to the time period for the
reimbursement to the Fort Worth Water Department.
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
Sewer, Division IV, Water Main Capacity Charges.
The water main capacity charge boundary is located in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and Council District 3.
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.
