Capital Improvements Advisory Committee accepts semiannual impact-fee report; staff details projects and collections
Summary
CIAC accepted the city’s semiannual report covering Oct. 1, 2024–Mar. 31, 2025. Staff reported impact-fee collections for water and wastewater, building-permit counts and revenues, and progress on major wastewater and pump-station projects.
The Capital Improvements Advisory Committee accepted the semiannual report for Oct. 1, 2024–Mar. 31, 2025, and forwarded it to City Council for review.
Lawson Chaudhry, capital improvement project manager with Public Services, presented the report and said it was prepared in accordance with Texas Local Government Code chapter 395. Chaudhry summarized impact-fee collections and building-permit activity for the reporting period.
As stated in the report, the city collected $453,420.44 in water impact fees during the period, plus $3,702.97 in accrued interest (average interest rate reported as 4.37%). Wastewater impact-fee collections totaled $353,305 plus $2,885.36 in accrued interest (average interest rate 4.37%). Chaudhry reported the city issued 57 building permits during the period: 19 new commercial, 36 new single-family, and 2 new multifamily permits. The presentation listed building-permit revenue as $1,564,625.80 (figure as read in the report).
Chaudhry said the city is updating its impact-fee study and expects to present updated materials to CIAC in late summer 2025. He also provided status updates on major capital projects: the Prairie Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant aeration-basin expansion (approximately 90% complete; final bid documents anticipated in June; engineer OPCC reported at $77,000,000; anticipated two-and-a-half-year construction), a combined pump station project (about 30% into design; budget reported at $38,000,000), and the Midway Ranch lift station and associated 30-inch force main (lift station in construction; force main at ~90% design; project budget reported at $41,000,000).
A member questioned why Castle Hills and Lewisville were still split in a table; Chaudhry said that labeling is a holdover from prior reporting and agreed it should be consolidated in future reports. Committee members moved to accept the report as presented and forward it to City Council. The motion passed.
Appendices A and B distributed with the presentation contain the detailed project lists and cost calculations used in the impact-fee determination, Chaudhry said.
