7.Consider, discuss, and possibly act on the Land Use Assumptions and Capital
Improvements Plan under which an impact fee may be imposed.
The City Council has appointed the Planning & Zoning Commission to serve as the Capital
Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC).
Discussion followed on imposing an impact fee on new users of the water and wastewater
system.
The Texas Local Government Code allows cities to collect up to 50% of the total cost per
service unit, unless the city does a more detailed study indication that higher percentage is
justified.
Staff is proposing that the City of Sanger collect a water impact fee of $2250 per service
unit. Staff is also recommending that the City of Sanger collect a wastewater impact fee of
between 70% and 100% of the maximum impact fee of $4916.50.
The Commission was concerned that due to the economy being what it is today, that this is
not a good time to be raising fees for future development in the city.
Shelley Ruland made a motion to not act at this time on the Land Use Assumptions and
Capital Improvements Plan under which an impact fee may be imposed. Robert Patton
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
8.Meeting adjourned.
