Chad Graham called meeting to order and commenced with roll call at 4 PM
Chad Graham called for public comment, none noted.
Susie Turner reviewed and discussed with the committee her responses to questions previously
submitted by the public.
Discussion continued on the September 2012 Wastewater Impact Fee Report. Susie Turner
informed the committee the 2013 estimated construction costs for the committed extensions have
increased since they were last calculated.
Increasing base rates in conjunction with increasing impact fees was discussed.
Chad Graham asked for the amount base rates would need to increase to absorb the proposed
increase.
Larry Sartain suggested having property taxes from future subdivided unimproved lots re-
allocated so more revenue is directed towards infrastructure at a time when the lots are not
impacting the city amenities.
Paul Burnham suggested the lack of funding recoupment would cause us to go further in the
hole.
Jason would like to know what percentage the proposed impact fees would be on a $250,000
home.
The agenda for next meeting will be continued discussion of the Wastewater impact fee report
and include;
updated documents with 2013 estimated construction costs for committed extensions, estimated
annual impact fee revenue based on 2% growth rate, estimated annual bond payment amount on
committed extensions, amount sewer utility base rate would need to increase to absorb an impact
fee increase, sewer utility rate comparisons with other Cities, possible recommendation vote.
Jeff made a motion to adjourn at 5:46, seconded by Larry, motion carried.
Date of Next Meeting: November 26, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
