Lockhart, Texas 78644 308 West San Antonio Street  TEXAS  MEMORANDUM  TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Dan Gibson, City Planner Clr DATE: December 1, 2022  PURPOSE  State law requires a continuing semi-annual role for the Impact Fee Advisory Committee in monitoring the progress of implementation of the impact fee ordinance, and in advising the City Council on needed revisions. More specifically, State law provides that the Committee: 1) Monitor and evaluate implementation of the capital improvements plans;  2) File semi-annual reports with respect to the progress of the capital improvements plans and report to City Council any perceived inequities in implementing the plans or imposing the 3) Advise the City Council of the need to update or revise the land use assumptions, capital The Committee's last meeting was May 11, 2022. This is the 41st status report since the impact fee ordinance was originally adopted on January 15, 2002, and is for the period from April 1, 2022, to October 1, 2022. Iti is the eleventh report since the update adopted on April 4, 2017, and is based on the current capital improvement plans and impact fees. The six-month reporting dates align  impact fees;and,  improvements plans (CIP's), and impact fees.  with the fiscal year quarters. STATUS OF ACCOUNTS  Exhibit A shows revenue totaling $529,285 during the period covered by this report. Fees collected during the six-month period was for 83 new houses, one manufactured home, one commercial addition, one new retail building, and one new medical building. The only expenditures were periodic payments of invoices to the impact fee update consultants. The water, wastewater, and road impact fee account balances for the previous semi-annual report, as well as the current balances as of October 1, 2022, including accrued interest, are: shown in the table. The total estimated cost of all of the projects in the capital improvement plans in effect during the six-month reporting period was $58,311,537. However, the City Council adopted one-half that amount as the maximum to be collected by April 1, 2027, which is the end of the ten-year CIP period, SO the maximum fees are based on an estimated cost of all three CIP's being $29,155,769. The total of all impact fees spent on CIP projects sO far since the April 4, 2017 update is $673,073, which does not include payments to the impact fee update consultants. The total amount still to be spent is $28,482,696. The total balance available remaining collectively in the four impact fee accounts that can be used toward meeting that goal, is currently $4,138,797.    TRENDS  The bar graph in Exhibit B illustrates the impact fee collection trends beginning with the first semi- annual report in July 2003. The trends generally reflect the state of the economy, as well. as the availability of lots for residential development. Housing productionand platting of new subdivisions have remained steady, with the total impact fee revenue in this six-month reporting period being less than the previous reporting period, which was an all-time high. This one is still the second highest since the City began the semi-annual reports in 2003. Itis important to build a healthy balance in all of the accounts because there is interest in development where the City does not currently have adequate infrastructure, but where many of the needed projects are aiready listed in  the impactfee CIP's. UPDATE  The most recent impact fee update was completed and adopted in 2017, sO the statutory five year up-date was begun this year and is currently in process. The Impact Fee Advisory Committee will have several opportunities to provide feedback to the consultants on the impact fee update project. The five-year update is needed primarily due to increases in the cost of construction. The impact fees are based on the estimated cost of the projects in each CIP, and those costs are now out-of- date. In addition, the CIP's are intended to reflect the anticipated: growth of the city, and the rapid population growth we are experiencing may require changes in the location and size of projects  thata arei int the current CIP's, and/or may support adding new projects.  RECOMMENDATION  Considering that the five-year impact fee update project is underway, but not completed, there is nothing new to report at this time in terms of a recommendation to the City Council. Typically, the Impact Fee Advisory Committee's action is to direct the Chair to submit the required written report to the City Council. The Council will receive your report at their December 20th meeting.    y  II  -  -  8  -    a  9  - *  3 N  8 8 E $A  9 0 A $ $ $ a
