Oct. 13 council agenda: public hearing on the 2026 Impact Fee Study Update

The agenda posted to Granicus on Oct. 7 for the Tuesday, Oct. 13 council meeting at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 303 Palo Pinto Street lists a public hearing on recommendations to the 2026 Impact Fee Study Update and adoption of Ordinance O2026-39, amending water, wastewater and roadway impact fees. The staff memo gives the current rates as $2,332 per standard unit for water and $2,227 for wastewater, and roadway rates per service unit of $691 residential and $461 nonresidential in Service Area A, $394 and $262 in Area B, and $386 and $258 in Area C, with no Area D. The proposed rates are $2,800 for water and $2,800 for wastewater, and roadway rates of $460.53 residential and $420 nonresidential in Area A, $159.65 and $240 in Area B, $152.41 and $240 in Area C, and $280.92 and $300 in a new Area D. The memo says the water and wastewater fees increase by a combined $1,041 per single-family home and that the roadway reductions offset that for a combined net reduction of $45 per single-family home. It traces the steps: the council appointed a Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on Feb. 10, 2026; the committee met May 20 and Aug. 19; the council adopted Resolution R2026-19 on Sept. 22 setting the Oct. 13 hearing; and the Municipal Utility Board accepted the committee's recommendation on Sept. 24. The memo says the water and wastewater fees were last updated by an ordinance adopted Nov. 16, 2021, and the roadway fees by an ordinance adopted Nov. 18, 2025, and that the new rates would be effective upon adoption. Staff recommends adoption.
