TITLE

 

Consider a memorandum/resolution establishing a public hearing date of November 19, 2019 to consider the impact fee draft report and the adoption of an impact fee.

 

SUMMARY

 

DATE:                     August 20, 2019

 

TO:                     Ronald L. Olson, City Manager

 

FROM:                     Danielle Singh, Executive Director of Public Works

 

SUBJECT:                     Set a public hearing date of November 19, 2019 to consider the impact fee draft report and adoption of an impact fee                                           

 

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:

 

On October 16, 2018, City Council authorized the creation of the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC) to move forward with the process of implementing impact fees.

 

On July 9, 2019 City Council passed a resolution to set the public hearing date for the Impact Fee Capital Improvements Plan and Land Use Assumptions on August 27, 2019.

 

In order to move forward with impact fees, Texas Local Government Code Chapter 395 requires the City Council  to adopt a resolution to set a 2nd public hearing date to consider the adoption of an impact fee. Once the public hearing date is set and prior to thirty days before the date set for the hearing, notice of the hearing shall be published in the newspaper and the impact fee draft report shall be made available to the public.
