Mark Owens indicated they had focused on immediate growth and looked at the ten and twenty year growth to develop the impact fees. Mark Owens also discussed water provided by Upper Trinity. He expressed that only infrastructure costs can be used in the study. Discussion continued. Discussed proposed sewer infrastructure development. Jerry Jenkins asked if anything was planned for the existing sewer plant in the future, as opposed to directing that to the new site. Mark Owens indicated that the intention is to divert everything to the new site. Polly Dwyer asked what would be done with the old site. Mark Owens indicated it would still be used until it was necessary for it to be abandoned. It will be used for at least another twenty years. Jerry Jenkins asked about the process and what has been done. City Manager indicated the site has been identified and the property owner has been contacted. It is not definite, but they are looking into it. Discussed the abandonment of the old site. Mark Owens expressed that the EPA is coming up with new regulations and with the existing plant the city can only go so far. The estimated growth used was discussed. The calculation of 2.5 homes per acre, and 2.52 people per home was used. These numbers are conservative. Discussed the 20 year plan, and that the total would be 74 million dollars for the sewer project. Discussed that with projected impact, they had come up with a fee of $2,055/00 per tap. The current connection fee is $2000.00 per tap. Mark Owens continued to explain the infrastructure for proposed water improvements. Discussed the calculations for apartments. Discussed the consequences if the growth does not happen, all of the collected funds will have to be returned to the developers. Discussed industrial growth versus residential growth. Mark Owens indicated the total cost projected for water for the ten year program is $9,132,000.00 at 50%, used for impact fees came to $1597.00 per home. Shelley Ruland expressed concerns on the figures used for the calculations. Jerry Jenkins expressed that the 2.5 used for the density gives the leverage needed for other areas. Mark Owens indicated by law it can be reviewed every five years, but it can be adjusted every year if needed. Discussion followed regarding the additional fees assessed to the impact fee as a recovered cost. Polly Dwyer moved to adopt the Impact Fee study as presented and recommended that it be submitted to the City Council. 4. Meeting Adjourned.
