City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

01/04/2022

BACKGROUND

Section 395.058 (c) (4) of the Texas Local Government Code requires the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC) to file semi-annual reports with respect to the progress of the capital improvements plan and report to City Council any perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing impact fees. Section 90-158 of the City's Code of Ordinances includes this same requirement. The CIAC is a citizen group composed of the current Planning and Zoning Commission, a real-estate representative and a resident in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, all of whom are appointed by City Council.

Capital Recovery Fees, also knows as Impact Fees, can only be charged to new development and used in compliance with a specific adopted plan. Projects in the plan must be designed to increase the capacity of water and sewer infrastructure to accommodate Schertz' growth. General maintenance or pipe replacement would not be an acceptable use of these funds.

The attached report includes capital recovery balance reports for April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021 and the CIAC minutes from November 17, 2021 during which the CIAC recommended acceptance of this report.
