Mr. Burdine referred the Commissioners to Table 15, as he discussed how impact fees'are
determined. He said there was a 10 year time frame from 1996 to 2006 in which impact projects
are identified, and impact fees need to be increased due to the building of major waterwells and
sanitary sewer improvements. These figures need to be examined every three years to comply
with state law, and at those times the City will update land use assumptions.
Mr. Burdine said the discussion items are on the table, and the City has to plan for the incurring
cost now to avoid construction costs later if possible. These are projects intended to serve future
development inside current city limits but the City is not looking at lengthening line outside ;city
limits. He would like comments to take to City Council.

areas, and Mr. Burdine said that the areas along FM 518 and SH 288 were included. 1

also charged, based on actual costs of making a tap.
