Impact fees: the city proposed raising water and wastewater fees to $2,800 each per standard unit…

Item 8.f on the Oct. 13 agenda was a public hearing on the 2026 Impact Fee Study Update and the 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 fees 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 Area D not a current service area. The proposed rates are $2,800 per standard unit for water and $2,800 for wastewater, and roadway fees 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 Area D. The memo says the water and wastewater fees would rise by a combined $1,041 per single-family home and that the roadway reductions offset that increase, for a combined net reduction of $45 per single-family home. 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, the memo says; the council appointed a Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on Feb. 10, 2026, staff met with it on May 20 and Aug. 19, the council set the hearing by Resolution R2026-19 on Sept. 22, and the Municipal Utility Board recommended adoption on Sept. 24. The fees would take effect upon adoption. Whether the council adopted the ordinance is not yet on the record.
