Flower Mound advisory committee approves semiannual impact-fee report; minutes also approved
Summary
The Capital Improvement Advisory Committee approved its semiannual impact-fee report through March 31, 2025, which shows multi-million-dollar balances in roadway, water and wastewater impact-fee accounts and plans to allocate a large share of water fees within one to two years.
The Flower Mound Capital Improvement Advisory Committee approved its semiannual impact-fee report through March 31, 2025, and voted to approve minutes from the Feb. 24, 2025, meeting during its brief April meeting. The committee’s votes were taken by roll call after a staff presentation of revenues, expenses and current balances for roadway, water and wastewater impact-fee accounts.
The report, presented by Lee Rodriguez, showed life-to-date revenues of roughly $36.2 million for roadway impact fees, $40.7 million for water impact fees and $48.6 million for wastewater impact fees, with available balances of about $4.5 million for roadway, $9.0 million for water and a little over $8.0 million for wastewater as of March 31, 2025. Rodriguez said most recent roadway-period expenses were tied to the Denton Creek Boulevard Bridge project and that water-period expenses were largely for the Morris Road Waterline Phase 3 project.
Why this matters: impact fees are a primary local funding source for infrastructure that supports new development. The committee’s semiannual report is required under state law and guides which capital projects may be funded from those fees.
Rodriguez walked committee members through the standard tables showing life-to-date and six-month period revenues and expenses. For the six-month period ended March 31, 2025, period revenues listed were roughly $609,000 for roadway, $558,000 for water and $266,000 for wastewater; period expenses were about $500,000 for roadway, $2.4 million for water and $174,000 for wastewater. "I do wanna mention that we do have plans to allocate most of this funding within the next 1 to 2 years on 1 of our water projects," Rodriguez said, adding the town expects a significant decrease in the water balance once that allocation occurs.
After the presentation, the committee moved to deliberation and approved the report by roll call. The motion to approve the semiannual impact-fee report passed by voice/roll call with all voting members present recorded as voting yes; one member was noted as not present. Earlier in the meeting the committee also approved the minutes from its Feb. 24, 2025 meeting by roll call.
