SUBJECT
(ALL) Adopt Appropriation Ordinances Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in the Amount of $13,865,588.00 in the Water Impact
Fee Fund and in the Amount of $18,143,557.00 in the Sewer Impact Fee Fund for the Purpose of Transferring to the Water and Sewer Operating

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
of $13,865,588.00, from available Wholesale and Retail Impact Fees, for the purpose of transferring funds from the Water/Wastewater
Wholesale Impact Fees and Water/Wastewater Retail Impact Fees projects (City Project Nos. B20004 and B20005) to the Water and Sewer
Operating Fund; and
Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Sewer Impact Fee Fund in the amount
of $18,143,557.00, from available Wholesale and Retail Impact Fees, for the purpose of transferring funds from the Water/Wastewater
Wholesale Impact Fees and Water/Wastewater Retail Impact Fees projects (City Project Nos. B20004 and B20005) to the Water and Sewer
Operating Fund.
DISCUSSION:
During the retail cost of service studies for Fiscal Year 2025, 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 2025 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 $32,009,145.00, broken out as $13,865,588.00 from Water Impact Fee
revenue and $18,143,557.00 from Sewer Impact Fee revenue, to the Water and Sewer Operating Fund, will be used to pay principal and interest
on existing revenue bonds used to fund impact fee -eligible projects.
Funding is budgeted in the WAANV Wholesale Impact Fees and WMIW Retail Impact Fees projects within the Water Impact Fee and the Sewer
Impact Fee Funds.
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 W/WW Wholesale Impact Fees and W/WVV 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 will be available in the Water & Sewer Fund to support revenue bond principal and interest payments. Prior to an
expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
