TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Andrew Zagars, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Authorize the execution of a Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to update the City’s Water and Wastewater Impact Fees
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
In 2019, the City of Killeen retained Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) for the purpose of completing a study for the potential implementation of impact fees to fund a portion of the costs for water and wastewater system capital improvements required to serve new development. On April 13, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance 21-015, which implemented water and wastewater impact fees in the City effective April 14, 2021. On April 1, 2025, the City Council adopted the 2025 Water and Wastewater Master Plan. With the adoption of this new master plan, an update to the 2021 impact fees is needed to incorporate a new capital improvements plan and a current pricing structure.
City Staff have negotiated a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn to update the City’s Water and Wastewater Impact Fees for a fee of $136,080. Kimley-Horn did an outstanding job developing the original impact fee structure, and Staff is confident that Kimley-Horn’s update will greatly enhance the funding capacity of water and wastewater impact fees.
