for cities to factor in growth beyond the corporate limits to include growth in the ETJ.3.Many MUDS in the
city's ETJ approach the city for utility connections;therefore,we need to identify impact fee eligible projects to
recover costs when the city is approached for utility service,as happens often.4.Historical precedent shows
that if development in the ETJ is not considered for city services,the services installed may be inadequate and
eventually may require effort from the city to resolve if they fail.The most recent examples of this occurring are
Greentree Estates and the Old Alton community.

8/4/2025 Suzi Rumohr Public Hearing ID 25-1140 Water Utilities What is the mechanism,if any,to adjust impact fees if anticipated projects don't happen, Impact fees must be expended within 10 years of their collection and are eligible for refund if not used within

seeing in item 6(C)? decisions on utilization of actual fund are considered for each project in association with available revenue and
9 debt funding options. If a project is delayed beyond the 10-year time-frame,it could get incorporated into future
studies.Debt issued for actual construction cost could also be impact fee eligible and incorporated into a future
study.In the next impact fee study,which is a maximum of 5-years from the implementation of this study,a
financial analysis will be completed on the rate of impact fees collected vs.the projected rates.If a deficiency or
surplus is noted,a change will be calculated into the new proposed rates.
