Attached you will find a budact fir the Denco Area 9-1-1 District that continues the highest level
of enhanced 9.1.1 service to every customer in the Denco Area 9.1.1 District. This includes the
address of every phone in the district where an address has been assigned. By the end of the
fiscal year represented by this document, the last jurisdiction doing addressing will be complete
and we will have accomplished the total coverage of the county. In addition. with the installation
of a new, more intelligent switch last year, we will now be able to get automatic callback
numbers on our mobile customers.
The impact of the new switch that Denco put in place last year will be felt for see oral years. As
it stands right now, Denco is farther ahead than any other district in the state In fact, rve are the
only district now compatible with the data stream that is to be provided with mobile telephones.
Denco has th - technology in place even before most of the mobile telephone companie,. This is
due to the continued support of jurisdictions and public safety responders throughout the district.
The Board of Managers and the staff at Denco have worked hard to provide the best system
possible for the district. They have managed the district's finances in such a manner to ensure
that the same goal can be carried throughout the future as you will see reflected in this budget
document and throughout the history of the Denco Area 9.1.1 District.
There are powers at the state and federal level that believe districts such as ours should be
dissolved and absorbed into a larger area so the finances we have used wisely for the Denco Area
can be pooled with other resources. We would ask that you stay apprised of any legislation
threatening the long-term existence of Denco. We ask that you compare the peifomtance, hoth
fiscally and technically, of the Denco Area 9.1.1 District against any other operation and you
will see why it is important for us to keep local control of our 9.1.1 system. You may be
contacted during this legislative year to assist with being sure that we do not become victims of a
'Robin Hood" system for 9.1.1. We will all receive less for the same investment if this oxurs,
i
The Board of Managers wishes to publicly acknowledge the high quality of the staff that is
working for you everyday at Denco. This group of professionals forms a team that is line of the
0 main reasons the district has been so successful, effective, and timely in staying ahead of the
.un a even in the rapidly changing world of technology. Please take a moment to express your
appreciation to the Denco staff
If you have any questions or need any additional information please contact your teprescntati%c
on the Boar of Managers or call Mike Pedigo, Executive Director of Denco 11'c appreciate the
continued support you give the Denco Area 9-1-1 District. O .

Dear Participating Jurisdictions:
The district's board of managers at its August 8th regular meeting approved the following
flenco Area 9-1 -1 District Fiscal Year 1999 Financial Plan. Section 772, Texas Health
and Safety Code, requires, in addition to board approval, the budget be approved by the
majority of participating cities and the county before it is effective The budget Is
scheduled to become effective October t, 1998.
The Denco Area 911 District had a very productive year in 1998, with the replacement of
its 9-1.1 answering equipment and network and the completion of the addressing
program for unincorporated Oenton County. Section 3 of the Denco Area 911 District
Fiscal Year 1999 Financial Plan highlights the district's accomplishments over the past
year,
The enclosed financial plan provides for the enhancement of the new 9-1 -1 answering
equipment and network. Included is the integration of new programs and features into
the computer workstations used by public safety telecommunicators to answer J-1.1
calls Also included is the implementation of the Federal Communication Commission's
mandate for enhanced service of wireless 9-1,1 calls. Section 4 outlines the goals for
fiscal year 1999.
The financial position of the Denco Area 9.1.1 District has continued to be positive. The
district has projected its needs through fiscal year 2003 (Schedule 4) and is in a position
to meet those needs within the current service fee rate structure. The rate (capped at
$0.27 for residential, $0.71 for business and $1,13 for PBX trunks) Is the satas the
district began collecting In 1988. In addit+on, funds for wireless 9-1 -1 service are
available due to a bill passed by the Texas Legislature requiring a $0.50 per month
service fee on wireless phones collected by the state.
On behalf of the Denco Area 9-1.1 District Board of Managers, I request your governing
body consider favorable approval of the district's fiscal year 1999 financial plan.
r
Thanks for considering this request and thanks for your continued support of the flenco

DENCO AREA 9-1.1 DISTRICT
FISCAL YEAR 1998 REVIEW
Overvi~Sdf
The Denco Area 91 I District has had its most productive year since the original
implementation of 9.1-1 service in the district. Two years ago, Denco replaced
the analog tandem switch provided by Southwestern Bell with a digital switch in
Denton, provided by GTE. The digital technology provides the backbone for the
new system implemented this year. The new system includes the following
features
• An SS7 digital network that is more reliable and flexible than the
previous network. The new net,vrrk has more features and
redundancy required to process 9-1 -1 calls in the future. With the
Increase in area codes in the Denco Area 911 District, the network is
required to process 10 digit telephone numbers as opposed to the `
seven digit required in the past. In addition, the SS7 network has the
ability to process the 20 digits (the routing telephone number and the
ANI) required for wireless calls
Forty-seven (47) CML SeNTlnal Workstations. The computerized
answering equipment replaces the old analog equipment with a state
of the art digital system. The equipment has features, in addition to
9-1.1 call taking, such as automatic call back, integrated TDD, voice
recording, on line error reporting, and an array of statistical r ,porting
features.
Another accomplishment in Fiscal Year 1998 is the completion of the addressing
program for unincorporated Denton County. Two years ago, the district
contracted with Denton County to develop and Implement an addressing program
for rural Denton County. By the end of the fiscal year, Denco plans to complete
the initial addressing and be in maintenance mode. Notification of all residents
will be completed once the United States Postal Service has made the changes
in its system.
Over the past two years, the Denco Area 9.1.1 District has seen several changes
in requirements for providing 9-1 -1 service in years to come. Some of the
i • changes in the telecommunications industry affecting the district are the O
following:
• The Federal Communication Commission's Report and Order 94.102
17
steaks's
32 x~[I

O
MOW".1
Fiscal Year 1998 Review
Page 2
requires Denco to provide to dispatchers the location of cell sites for
wireless 9-1.1 callers. This information is valuable in determining the
location of callers until more information is available. Over the last few
months, Denco has been negotiating with wireless carriers for the
implementation of Phase I service required by the FCC. The district
plans to begin Phase t service in the fall of 1998.
Since the deregulation of the telecommunications industry, many
alternative local exchange carriers certified by the Texas Public Utilities
Commission to provide telephone service In Denton County have
approached Denco. Some companies provide their own service and
others resale existing phone company service. The companies
compete with GTE, CenturyTel, Sprint, Southwestern Bell and each
other for local phone service. The district has been involved in
negotiating contracts and implementing 9-1.1 service with the
alternative carriers.
• During the last year, Denco has participated in several regulatory and
consumer committees at the state level. The committees have been
charged with protecaing the integrity of the 9-1.1 system as well as
evaluating options for enliancements to database, network and
answering equipment required by challenges of wireless service, local
number portability and the array of telephone companies providing
service.
Other Hiohlichts
Other highlights of the district during fiscal year 1998 are the following
• Provided the equipment, network, and data for approximately 138,000
calls to the 9-1 -1 network.
• Coordinated with participating jurisdictions and telephone service
providers the flow of information to maintain a database accuracy of
99.7%.

REBATE METHODOLOGY
Rebates for the Premium-Efficiency Motor Rebate Program will
be based on the following methodology:
REPLACEMENT MOTORS:
1. The Denton Electric Utility staff will visit the site to
determine the existing motors efficiency. If the existing motor is
non-operational, an estimate will be made.
2. The customer must provide all information on the rebate
application concerning the proposed motor purchase.
3. A new motor must not exceed the horsepower of the existing
motor without express written consent by the Denton Electric j,
Utility, which consent shall be given only if the utility finds an
increased efficiency.
4. The information concerning the existing and the proposed
motors will be entered into the Motor Master software program to
calculate the kilowatt (LW) or kilovolt amperes (KVA) savings
yield. The calculation is based on horsepower, efficiency, RPM, and
load information,
5. The KW or KVA yield will be multiplied times the rebate
incentive amount of $100/KW or $90/KVA:
KW yield x $100 / KW
or KVA yield x $ 90 / KVA
6. The Denton Electric Utility will to the site to verify
installation, and following successful installation, a rebate check
will be mailed to the customer.
NEW MOTORS:
New motors will follow the procedure outlined above for
replacement motors but the efficiency comparison will be made
against a standard new motor, to be determined by the Motor Master
software program used by the City, Department of Energy standards,
or the Denton Electric Utility,
ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES:
The Denton Electric Utility will visit the customer site to
determine KW/KVA savings from the proposed Adjustable/Variable
Speed Drive. Those savings will be awarded on a $100/KW or $90/KVA
basis. A watt meter will be used before and after installation. 4
KW / KVA SAVINGS: (i

IN ORDINANCE NO. 97.237 FOR WATER SERVICE; AMENDING THE CHARGES
FOR TAP AND METER FEES; AMENDING THE WHOLESALE RAW WATER
SERVICE RATE TO UTRWD (WRV,~ CONTAINED IN ORDINANCE NO. 98-079;
AMENDING THE WHOLESALE TREATED WATER SERVICE RATE (WW2) TO
UTRIA D CONTAINED IN ORDINANCE NO, 98-080; PROVIDING FOR A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND
Water utility rates were reviewed and approved by the Public Utilities Board and are
recommended to the City Council for approval
For fiscal year 1999, water rates remain unchanged from fiscal year 1998, except for the
following three rate schedules.
(1) The wholesale raw water rate to the Upper Trinity Regional Water District
(UTRWD), which is set at 85% of the Dallas wholesale raw water rate, decreases
approximately 2410 from the 1998 Icvel of $0.3602 per 1,000 gallons to $0.3532.
Denton's wholesale raw water rate is based on the raw water contract between Denton
and the UTRWD.
(2) The wholesale treated water rate to UTRWD (currently for resale to the City of
Sanger) increases for fiscal year 1999 due to the increase in Ray Robert's reservoir and
greenbelt costs. Denton will begin debt service payments on the entire reservoir and
greenbelt water storage costs during 1999. The asset is included in the rate base to permit
Demon to begin receiving a return on the asset from ,vholesaie customers. T he
recommended fiscal year 1999 rate is as follows:
Facility Charge $176.00 / month € 6
i Volume Charge 5 0.301 1,000 gallons
3+~' Demand Charge $359,500.001 Million Gallons Day (MGD) of Demand

The tverage rate is forecasted at $2.32 per 1,000 gallons, assuming average water use is
50 percent of the forecast peak demand of.25 MGD.
(3) The water tap and meter fees have increased to more accurately reflect the actual
costs to perform the work. Costs to be recovered through the fees include labor,
equipment, materials, and paving. The 1999 increases represent year two of a three-year
phase in plan to bring the water tap and meter fees up to fall cost recovery.

BACKGROUND
Wastewaler utility rates acre reviewed and approved by the Public Utilities Board and
are recommended to the City Council for approval
Fu fiscal year 1999, wastewater rates remain unchanged from fiscal year 1998, except
for the following recommended changes.
(1) The residcnlial wastewater (SR) rate remains unchanged, but there arc three
methodology changes which simplify the calculation of the volume billed. First, the
calculatiol of the average wirier water use, used to calculate the wastewater volume,
• ha3 been changed to include o0y the most recent winter period (December, January
and February). C'urtvmly, the volume calculation is subject to a plus or minus 251,16
adjustmrnt when compared to the previous year's winter average,
(2) Second, the residential wastewater winter average calculation can be based on as few
as two billing months (January and February). Three full months of billing history
• are no longer required to set an average. Third, if a new customer has not established
a winter average, the wastewater volume will be calculated at 98% of 6,500 gallons O •
of water use until the customer establishes an actual winter average. This average
residential volume will be used throughout the annual billing period of March
through February, and will not be adjusted during this period when water volumes
fall below the winter average volume.

(3) The v.rstewater tap fees have increased to more accurately reflect the actual costs to
perform the work. Costs recoverwl through the fees include labor, equipment,
materials, and paving. The 1999 increases represent the second year of a three-year j
phase in Ulan to bring the wastewater t.,p fees up to full cost recovery.
(4) The compoet ral: has been expanded to include as interdepartmental price of $8.00
per cubic yard, a bag price of $1.35 per cubic foot (50 bag minimum), and discounts
e for volume purchases. Purchases over 10 cubic yards will receive a 20% discount,
and purchases over 100 cubic yards will receive a 40% discount. 'These volume
purchase discounts more closely match carrent marker prices.

dumpster class, and the rate has been adiusted to bill similar to dumpster containers.

compactors in us:.

(4) Two Open Top weight surcharges are recommended. The first su%llarge is $45 per
ton for oper top containers loaded in excels of the following standard weights:
IS CY Open Top - 3 tons 30 CY Open Top • 6 tons
20 CY Open Top - 4 tons 40 C1' Open Top - 8 tons
i
The second Open Top surcharge is a $300 charge for any container loaded in excess
of9tons.
(5) A $10 charge for bulky items is recommended forcomme~cial customers, similar to
the appliance pickup charge for residential customers, It would be charged for any
item that cannot fit in the solid waste containe, with the lid closed, it
(6) The landfill rate for outside the City of Denton customers decrmases from 517.50
per cubic yard to $10.00 per cubic yard. This rate was set at a high level in the
past fzw years to discourage outside waste until the landfill expansion was
completed. With the new larifill space available, additional volunas can be
accommodated and new revenues received to cover landfill costs. The potential
exists to bring in approximately 17,000 additional tons of outside the city waste
during fiscal year 1999.
(7) A negotiable landfill rate is proposed for customers who contract with the City of {
Denton olid Waste Department for disposal of their waste. The rates will be
analyzed and competitively structured based on market conditions. Outside the Aly
contract revenues, designed to support a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and
offset future landfill costs, are budgeted at $658,000 in 1999.
PRIOR ACTION 1 REVIE\Y
The Public Utilities Board voted uaannnously for approval of the solid waste rates at
their August 3, 1998 meeting, (4-0). (Onc PUB member was absent)

(12), Electrical inspection fees; amending Sections 28.210(f) and (g), Plumbing permit fee schedule;
amending Sections 28.252(9) and (10) Table I-a, Mechanical permit fees; amending Section 28-291(3)
Swimming pool permit fees; providing for the exemption of the City of Denton, political subdivisions

subdivisions and agencies of vie State of Texas and the United States of America; providing for the
repeal of all ordinances that conflict herewith; providing a severability clause; providing a savings
clause; providing for publication; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUNI
The attached ordinance is proposed to revise the existing building permit and inspection fee schedules,
and to consolidate the fees by placing them in a single ordinance.
The Inspections Division does not recover all costs associated with the services they provide. Eight of
the thirteen cities surve)ed by Inspections staff have set their Building Inspections fees at a level
necessary to recoup 1000,16 of the cost of services provided. In following this trend, staff proposes the
use of nationally generated building valuation data, adjusted through the use of "regional modifiers'
specifically provided for the state of Texas. In the comparison of other cities' fees, the proposed ,
Denton fee schedule would be competitive, with the exception of small commercial buildings(5,000 sq
fl floor Brea). This may have been adjusted by ether cities to maintain reasonable rates for small
developments, and has been similarly adjusted in Denton. O
The Building Inspection fee schedule covers a wide range of services, as provided in attached fee
schedule ordinance. Some fees would increase significantly, but they would rise In proportion to the
amount of work necessary to examine plans and conduct inspections for each type of construction.

71re ordinance can become effective on the date the Council adopts the ordinance, If the
Council adopts it on September 15, 1998, the impact fee ordinance can be effective from
September 15, 1998. However, if there is a violation of this ordinance between
September 15 and September 30, then the penalty cannot be applied in these IS days,
e ien though the ordinance is in effect. If the Council chooses to make October 1, or, any `
date after October I, as the effective date for the ordinance, then the ordinance as well as
the penalty clause both arc effective from the same date. Council, therefore, has full
latitude in setting the date when the impact fee ordinance becomes effective.
The Impact fee ordinance has been prepared to allow for no exemptions. How the impact
of impact fees on affordable housing can be mitigated is addressed through a separate
ordinance.

SUBJE
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the establishment of an
Affordable Housing Impact Fee Orant Program for WaterfWastewater Treatment Impact Fee
reimburser.tent.
BACKGROUND
During the August 25't', 1998 work session, Council held a discussion and gave staff direction
regardine,,,mpact fee relief for affordable housing. Council agreed that the following standards should
be applied:
A. Qualified Constniction
Only new owner-occupied, single-family home construction is eligible for Jant st...s.
0. Qualified OccuMt
Only low-income owner-occupants are qualified for grant status.
C. Qualified Developers
Only not-for-profit developers that meet the standards are eligible to receive impact fee
exemptions in the form of pre-construction grants.
D. Qualified Aam
Any property subject to City of Denton Water" lastewater Treatment Impact fees may be
considered eligible for grant status.
E. aximum if :sin C'os
l lousi,:g costs may not exceed the current price cap of the dwelling unit tied to the annual
requirements of the City of Denton Homebuyer's Assistance Program administered by the
Community Development Division of the Planning and Development Department (in 1998.99
the price cap for a single-family house is 577.500).
. F. Dwelling Unit Longeytk
Qualified owner occupants must maintain ownership and reside in the unit receiving the grant
for a minimum period of 10 years, secured by a lien on the property.
O, v i Lil'ty_o Excm i
The City of Denton shall limit the availability of grants. The basis of availability shall be the
fiscal year, from October I, 19148 to September 30, 1999. A maximum of 30 full (100%)
• single family equivalent (SFE) grants are available during the 1998.99 fiscal yccr, extending
from (Mober I, 1998 to September 30, 1949. The SFP unit costs are calculated based upon O
impact fee, for centralised water supply, treatmeA w t storag: facilities add wastewater
facilities oni)-. Th: SFE grant allowed may not exceed the amount of the SFE impact fee

11. Applicant Priority
SFE grants will be available on a first-come, first served basis, based upon the date of submittal
of an exemption request with complete information.
1, Funding Mechanism
The Denton City Council shall determine the number of single family equivalent (SFE's) grants "
that will be made available during any given year through the General Fund budget review and
approval process.
The Legal Department has prepared a draft ordinance describing these standards, attached as Exhibit
MI.
Subsequent to Council's directions regarding the standards, staff received some calls from Cheryl
Harding, Administrator of the Fairview Retirement Home. Ms. Harding also provided comments
during the impact fee public hearing conducted by City Council on September 0, citing in particular
the proposed Fair Oaks project that would involve the construction of 41 low-income, elderly
apartments. She asked that not-for-profit, multi-family, low-income elderly housing be addressed as
part of the grant program under consideration. Staff is aware that there has been some discussion by
Council to consider including eligibility for this type of housing in the grant program. If the Council
wishes to do that, "low income multi-family, elderly and/or disabled housing" could be considered an
eligible construction category along with "owner-occupied low income single family housing". This
would allow the grant program to be extended to not-for-profit organizations that are building either
low-income single family or multi-family housing.
If multi-family housing is selected as a second category of housing eligible for grant status, the impact
on funding availability would be negligible. At the August 25i°, 1:98 work session, Council placed a
cap of 50 single family equivalents (SFE's) as the maximum number of grants that would be made j
available durng fisal year 1998.99. The SO-SFE grant limit translates to an approximate $100,000 1
funding amount, available on a frsi-come first served basis. Staff believes that the 50-SFE grant limit
(and associated fl_mjing) can accommodate the Fair Oaks elderly housing project without the need for
additional SFE's, The single-family equivalent (SFE) is calculated on meter size. Multi-family {
facilities use larger meter sizes, but there is not a one-for-one correlation between multi-family units
and SFF-'s. In the case of the Fair Oaks project, the Water/Wastewater Department has determined that
a 2-inch meter will adequately serve the entire apartment complex. A 2-inch meter requires the
allocation of 8 SFE's rather than 41 SFE's (see Fiscal Information table, page 4). The existing 50-SFE
grant cap can provide 8 SFE's to the Fair Oaks project and still provide sufficient opportunity (42
SFE's) for other single family affordable housing projects that have been planned for this coming
fiscal year. If multi-family housing is considered eligible for the grants, Council may want to consider
adding the following provisions:
(1) Total housing costs may not exceed the fair market rents established by HUD for the Dallas
- Ft. Worth area, and
t2) (2) Eligible multi-family housing units must not exceed total housing cost requirements for
a period of no less than 20 years, C •
It is important to note that the Affordable Housing Impact Fee Grant Program ordinance is separate
from the impact fee ordinance. City Council can implement the impact fee ordinance separately, and
"customize" the grant ordinance annually based upon performance. In the attached ordinance, the
availability, of the Rrants is limited to the 1998.99 fiscal year, and is tied to the budget process. If, at

• o '
I
the end of the first year, Council wishes to change eligibility requirements, or any of the other
requirements in the ordinance, such actions could be implemented without impeding impact fee f
operations, The City Attorney has advised that even if City Council decides to change from a grant
program to an exemption program at some later date, that could be done through an amendment to the
impact fee ordinance. Thus, staff believes that this approach gives Council the greatest flexibility.
In conclusion, staff believes this ordinance tracks the direction of the Council. It allows Council to
change the grant availability and provides a one-year review period to gauge its effectiveness. Staff
would recommend that a public hearing be conducted separately from the impact fee ordinance at the
September 191, 1998 Council meeting. This would allow more efficient review and comment
regarding the specific affordable housing issues identified during the September 1't, 1998 public
hearing.
ESTIMATED SCHFOULE OF PROJECT
The date scheduled for Council action on the impact fees ordinance is September 15e, 1998. A
separate public hearing and Council action on the Affordable Housing Impact Fee Grant Program is
also scheduled for September 15'h, 1998.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The Benton Plan Policies, adopted on April l'", 1998 contain the following relevant housing policies:
I. Existing housing stock, particularly for affordable housing should be protected and preserved
to avoid the loss of dwelling units that are unlikely to be replaced.
2. Incentives should be Investigated to encourage infill housing construction, especially in
conjunction with low Income and minority neighborhood revitalization plans.
3. City review- and inspection fees should be reviewed to determine if changes could be made to
ease affordable home construction eo•ts. Such an examination should be undertaken only If
benefits are passed on to homebuyers.
Soon after the Policies were adopted, Planning staff presented affordable housing information during a
May 26'h, 1998 City Council work session. Council decided to take no action at the time, preferring to
wait until information regarding the extent of proposed impact fees was available. The prevailing
sentiment of the Council was to wait until the comprehensive plan is completed before a formal
affordable housing program is considered.
The Denton Capital Improvements Advisory Committee, appointed as per state law, recommended
^ approval of the Water/Wastewater Treatment Impact Fees on July 8'", 1998. In addition, the Advisory
S Committee requested that the City Council consider impact fee exemptions for infill/affordable
housing where the impact fees are greater than 500/6 of the appraised value of the lot.
Staff recommended :o City Council on August 25°, 1998, that impact fee exemptions, if made i
availablt by the city, could serve affordable housing objectives more effectively by employing more
specific performance standards (as opposed to an appraised value standard). As the standards become
more detanc i, administrative complexity and expense increase, which can be a drawback to the
simplicity involved in using the appraised lot value standard. Community Development staffis O •
available to handle limited affordable housing administrative (asks without the need for additional
' resources. A small-scale approach to allow City Council the opportunity to gauge the success of loe: '
impact fee exemptions was recommended. City Council selected specific options for further
consideration at the work session, as indicated in the beginning of thic report.

Staff presented the August 250', 1998 City Council Work Session preferences regarding affordable
housing to the Denton Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on Wednesday, August 26h, 1998.
The Advisory Committee responded by recommending that the intent of affordable housing assistance
should be to support economic development activities within targeted areas, particularly for existing
neighborhood infill. Furthermore, the Advisory Committee recommended that the standards employed
should be limited to low income households, maximum housing costs, and a maximum number of
qualified single family equivalents (SFE's),
FISCAL INFORMATION
Several options are offered regarding the possible number of affordable housing impact fee exemptions
that could be offered by the city during any given fiscal year. Staff will prepare an ordinance
containing the options preferred by City Council, but recommends a slow and careful approach to the
exemptions. The Community Development Division staff can handle limited administration
responsibilities regarding the exemption qualifications and standards without the need for any
additional resources, but would appreciate the opportunity the handle all requirements properly on a
small scale at first. Upon a favorable performance review by City Council, the availability of
exemptions could be extended beyond the 1998-99 fiscal year,
Impact Fee Unit Coslt
As proposed, impact fees for community-wide water and wastewater facilities will be charged to all
new development based on the size of the water meter required to provide water service for the
development, The fees have been calculated as the "net cost per service unit," and if adopted without
changes, would be assessed as follows:
Maximum Impact Fee: Water Production $1,044 per SFE'
Maximum Impact Fee: Waste Water Treatment S 554 per SFE
Maximum Water/Wastewater Impact Fee $2,598 per SFE
• Single Family Equivalent: SFE's are converted to equ:.Jent meter sires. When a certain We meter is selected
for any development (homes, aputments, or nonresidential), the impact fee increases in proportion to meter sift
and capacity to use water or dispose of wastewater.
The relative value of one SFE exemption is $2,598. Converted to meter size, with SFE equivalents, i
the following table indicates the impact of different exemption options:
' I
Water hteler Equivalent Value of
Sire SFE's per Meter Exemption$
5/8" or 3/4" 1.0 S2,598

3" 16.0 $41,568
4' 25.0 564,950
* figures assume adoption of 100% calculated cost per
• service unit
Although the SFE for a 2" water meter is 8 single family homes, a 2" water meter could support more
than 8 multi-family units and result in equal or less water and wastewater consumption as compared to
the impact of the same number of single family homes.

APPLICABLE STATE REGULATIONS
Municipal authority to waive impact fees for affordable housing is found in two sections of the Texas
Local Government Code
L A city may reduce or waive an impact fee for affordable housing under Section 395.016(8)
of the Texas Local Government Code:
Section 393.016(8). Notwithstanding subsections (a) - (e) andSection 393.017, t:5e
political subdivision may reduce or waive an impact fee for any service unit that would
qualify as affordable housing under 42 US,C. Section 12743, as amended once the service
unit is constructed
i
2. A city may waive development-related fees for economic development programs under
Section 380 of the Texas Local Government Code: e
Section 380.01. Economic Development Programs. (a) The governing body of a
municipality may establish and provide for the administration of one or more programs,
including programs for making loans and grants of public money and providing personnel
and services of the municipality, to promote state or local economic development andto
stimulate business and commercial activity in the municipality.
Also, Section 395.016 of the Texas Local Govemment Code governs the collection of impact
fees:
(c) for land that is platted h&& the adoption of an impact fee, an lmpactfee may not be
collected on any service unit for which a valid building permit Is issued within one year of er
the date of adoption of the impact fee.
(d) for land that is platted gdsr the adoption of an impactfee, an Impact fee may be
collected at either the time aj rerordarion of the subdivision plat or connection to the municipal
water or sewer system or ao the time of issuing a building permit or certificate of occupancy.
The implications of the collection regulations are twofold: (1) affordable housing projects built
on lots that are platted before September 15'^, 1999 (or one year after the effective date of the
impact fee ordinance) are exempt from impact fees througb state law; and (1) affordable
housing projects built on lots that are exempt from platting requirements can also be interpreted
• to be exempt from impact fees for one year, As currently proposed by staff, impact fees would
be collected at the time of building permit issuance. I
