DISCUSSION:
During the retail cost of service studies for Fiscal Year 2024, 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 2024 budgeted revenues and expenditures. While state law and City Code
prohibit the use of impact fees for operating expenses, impact fees 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 of $30,281,897.00, broken out as $14,584,082.00 from Water Impact Fee
revenue and $15,697,815.00 from Sewer Impact Fee revenue, to the Water and Sewer Operating Fund, Wit be used to pay principal and interest
on existing revenue bonds used to fund impact fee -eligible projects.
Funding is budgeted in the WWN Wholesale Impact Fees and WIWVV Retail Impact Fees projects within the Water Impact Fee and the Sewer
Impact Fee Funds.
This project is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
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 funds are currently available in the WNVW Wholesale Impact Fees and WNUW Retail Impact Fees projects
within the Water Impact Fee and the Sewer Impact Fee Funds and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached
appropriation ordinances, funds Wit be available in the Water & Sewer Fund. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the
responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
