City of Georgetown, Texas

SUBJECT:
Presentation and discussion regarding the Utility Impact Fee Review Committee report -- Glenn W. Dishong,
Utility Director
ITEM SUMMARY:
The adoption of a new Impact Fee is required every five years by Local Government Code, Chapter 395, and
at least every three years as directed by City Council. The Impact Fees were last updated in October
2005. The process of adopting a new impact fee was initiated to revise the current fees in accordance with
the Local Government Code. The Local Government Code, Chapter 395, requires the City of Georgetown to
establish an impact fee committee to oversee the creation of the Capital Improvements Program and
information regarding financial impact for the creation and adoption of a new impact fee. The committee will
present recommendations, reflecting true costs of service for completion of the water and wastewater capital
improvements infrastructure projects for the next 10 years, for Council adoption.

The land use assumptions and Capital Improvements Plans
underlying the maximum fee calculations are consistent
with State law and good engineering practices.
By a 7-0 vote, the Advisory Committee finds that the data
and methodology underlying the maximum impact fee
calculation are reasonable and useful for City purposes.
