Overview of Presentation
Provide an overview
of impact fees
Review the City's
impact fee
methodology
Development of
City's water impact
fee
Role of Morrison Maierle, Inc (MMI) in
Establishing the Impact Fees
MMI's role is to update the existing cost -based
water impact fees with:
Generally accepted practices that comply with
Montana law
Current water demands and forecasts
Council guidelines
Annexation Boundary
Growth Policy
Growth Rates
Updated Capital Improvement Plan
Defining Impact Fees, Their Objectives and
General Approach
DefiningImpact Fees
Impact fees are capital recoveryA
fees that are generally 3
established as one-time charges,..'T�,.,assessed on developers or new
water/wastewater customers as
a way to recover a part or all of
the cost of additional system
capacity constructed for their]
use.

Financial Objective of Impact Fees
Development creates
the need for expansion
Absent impact fees, the
utility would be unwilling
or unable to expand
facilities and meet growth
needs
Building moratoriums
result when capacity is
unavailable for
expansion
Key Objective — Equity
Issue of timing; when
new development
connects
Year 1, 10 and 20
Rates — avoids the need
for "old" and "new"
customer rates
The Timing Issue
50+ years useful life
20-Year Bond
10-Years Now 5-Years
Ago
20-Years
How do we fairly treat a customer that connects in year 1, 5, 15,
20 and beyond?
Impact Fees are Different Than Rates

Value & Capacity Analysis

The element of time is the
key difference!
Basis for Establishing Impact Fees
Montana Law 7-6-1601 through 7-6-1604
Provides the legal basis for establishing impact fees
Specific ordinance or resolution requirements; required
documentation
Fee must be reasonably related to and reasonably
attributable to the development's share of the cost of
infrastructure and improvements made necessary by the new
development
Advisory Committee — An advisory role to review and monitor
the process of calculating, assessing, and spending of impact
fees
Overview of the City's Impact Fee
Methodology
❑ Key Steps to the City's Impact Fee Methodology
Determination of system planning criteria
Amount of water required to serve a single-family residential
customer
Establish the planning area
2. Determination of equivalent residential units (ERUs)
= Provides number of ERUs and linkage to infrastructure required to
serve a specific number of customers
Establish the growth rate
3. Calculation of system component costs
- Includes both historical and planned future assets
4. Determination of any (debt service) credits
Avoid double -charging — once through impacts fees and again within
rates

Key Financial Assumptions
The City's asset records were used to determine the
existing assets and the value of those assets.
The interest rate used for calculating interest on
existing assets is the 10-year treasury note rate as
reported by the US Department of the Treasury at
closing on November 30th of each year.
Up to fifteen years of interest is included in the cost
of the existing improvements. The fifteen -year
average interest rate is currently 4.25%.
As a comparison, the August 2010 Impact Fee non -
adopted Final Report used an interest rate of 6.00%.
Overview of City's Water System
21,000 current customers
Production
The City obtains 100% of its
water supply from Eight active well
sites
Storage
The City has four storage
reservoirs
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The 2012/2013 Capita
Improvement Plan shows projects
to be completed over the next five
years and future projects to be
completed in approximately ten
years.

Calculations of the Impact Fee for the
Maior System Components
❑ In calculating the water impact fee for the City, both
existing facility assets, along with planned future CIP
were included within the calculation.
❑ The major components of the City's water system that
were reviewed for purposes of calculating impact fee
were as follows:
Source of Supply
Pumping Facilities
Storage Facilities
Transmission and Distribution Mains
Administrative Charge
Source of Supply
The City's source of supply is provided entirely from eight active
well sites
Details of the calculations for source of supply with present costs are
provided in Appendix D of the final report
The current wells have a firm capacity of 10.195 million gallons per
day (mgd)
2012 peak day demands (9.560 mgd)
2015 peak day demands (10.150 mgd)
Grossweiler well addition allocates peak day demands (13.075 mgd)

Transmission and Distribution
The City's transmission/distribution network consists of numerous lines of 8-inch, 10-inch, 1 2-inch, 1 6-inch, and
20-inch diameter mains
Inventory existing and planned transmission/distribution
Interest charges up to 15 years on historical investments
Two component for calculation

Recoupment costs within the existing system
Costs associated with existing transmission and distribution facilities that have excess capacity.
Cost determined by percent capacity for additional ERU from 2012 to 2035.

Contribution from Developers, improvement districts, or grants
Six inch or smaller mains
Main replacements that are not growth related

Extension to Existing Systems
A third component of the transmission and distribution facility impact fee is
the cost related to extensions to the existing system that are necessary to
accommodate future growth.
The September 20 7 2 Water Impact Fee Summary (Appendix H) provides a
proportional cost of these improvements based on the improvements that
are shown within the 2011 Growth Policy annexation boundary.
A summary of these costs and this calculation is shown in the summary
report.
The total impact fee related to extensions to the existing system to
accommodate future growth is $17,583,247, or $3,531 per ERU.
Cost reviewed by Impact Fee Advisory Committee (IFAC).
These costs may be included in or excluded from the impact fee analysis based
on recommendations from the Impact Fee Advisory Committee and as set by City
policy.
The IFAC reviewed the extension costs and recommended not including the cost in
the 2013 water impact fee total.
Debt Service Credits and
Administrative Fee
Debt Service Objective- Avoid the potential double
payment of capacity related capital -once within impact
fees and again within the rates
Based on current growth projections, the water impact fee
will collect sufficient funds to cover the debt service related
to growth
Credit is the present value of future growth -related debt
service payments; $O/ERU credit
Administrative Fee
Under Montana statute, allow up to a 5% administrative fee
Followed guidance from the City Council in 2010 draft final
report
5% water administrative equates to $122 per ERU
Net Allowable Water Impact Fee
Total Allowable Fee
Based on the sum of the component costs calculated
The City, as a matter of policy, may charge any amount up to the
allowable impact fee, but not over that amount
Charging an amount greater than the allowable impact fee would not
meet the nexus test of a cost -based impact fee

The impact fees are then "weighted" by meter size to
reflect potential capacity use of the larger sized meters
This "weighting" by meter size is based upon the safe
operating capacity of the meter
Summary
The water impact fees developed and presented
are based on the engineering design criteria of the
City's water system, the value of the existing assets,
future capital improvements and generally
accepted ratemaking principles

Council Discussion
Adoption
????Development and Summary of the
Water Impact Fee
❑ The water facility plan provides an update to the water system portions of
the City of Kalispell Water, Sewer, and Storm Drainage System Facility Plan,
completed in July 2002.
2006 and 2008 the City chose to update their facility plan to analyze potential
growth and effectively plan for growth while protecting water and
environmental resources.
i The area studied in the 2006 and 2008 Water Facility Plan is represented
in Figure 1-6 — Water and Sewer Impact Fee Update.
The basis of planning was to determine the requirements for the next 50 years
in areas that the City will have to provide water service as growth continues.
�i On March 7, 2011 the City Council adopted an annexation policy that
significantly revised the previous annexation boundary.
This report uses the annexation policy boundary for the planning boundary and
adjusted Capital Improvement Projects to meet the infrastructure needs in the
expanded service area.
