Bills, Housing Coordinator Jennifer Bills provided an overview of the Home Repair request, description of project and recommended two options for consideration. Board and staff discussed the options available. Option 1: Repair and rebuild the back half of the structure (768 square feet). Due to the lack of a true pier and beam foundation, the entire section would have to be demolished and reconstructed. The initial estimate includes a new foundation, reframing, flooring, windows, siding and rebuilding the roof to connect properly to the original structure. The estimate does not include any interior finishing, i.e. electrical, plumbing or drywall. The initial estimate for this work is $27,760. Option 2: Demolition of the addition, siding/insulating the back wall, and a new roof over the original structure. Removing the addition would remove two bedrooms and a laundry/work room, leaving the structure around 845 square feet. The estimated cost of the demolition and rebuilding of the original home is approximately $12,000. Motion by Chair Woodard to approve the repair request at a level between options 1 and 2. Bills will solicit bids for the demolition of damaged part of the structure and rebuild just a portion to include laundry facilities with the cost falling between the two previous estimates.

6 City of Georgetown, Texas SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action to recommend fee waivers for affordable multifamily development and develop a draft incentive program. Jennifer C. Bills, Housing Coordinator ITEM SUMMARY: Development Fees During City review, there are five types of fees that are assessed: Staff Review fees: These fees include Planning, Inspections, and in-house Engineering review of plans. Staff salaries and department costs are accounted for in the City's General Fund, with expected revenue collections to offset a portion of the costs to the City. Engineering & Inspection fees: These fees are can be assessed and collected upfront or during the construction phase and are completed by in-house inspections staff. Materials/Resource recaptured cost: This includes the cost of the water and electric meter, and the installation of new electrical poles. Consultant Review fees: These fees are for larger projects or specific reviews and engineering design that is handled by outside consultants. The charges from the consultants get directly passed on to the applicant. Utility Impact fees: These fees are collected at the beginning of the construction phase and go directly into the Georgetown Utility System (not the City's General Fund) to pay for the increased demand on the water, waste water and electrical systems. Impact fees can only be waived for specific economic development purposes. Impact fees are regulated within the Local Government Code Chapter 395. The state code governs the acceptable uses and collection of impact fees. Section Impact fee means a charge or assessment imposed by a political subdivision against new development in order to generate revenue for funding or recouping the costs of capital improvements or facility expansions necessitated by and attributable to the new development. The term includes amortized charges, lump-sum charges, capital recovery fees, contributions in aid of construction, and any other fee that functions as described by this definition. Impact fees cannot be used for the construction of facilities or assets outside of the Capital Improvements Plan, repair, construction or maintenance of existing facilities, or upgrades/expansions of existing improvements to serve existing developments. Inspections plan review fees are assessed at the beginning of the review. Site

7 engineering/inspections, consultant fees and impact fees are collected after review is complete, but before the building permit is issued. Staff review and inspection fees can be waived by the City Council, and is considered forgone revenue that is allowed to encourage a City initiative. Consultant fees are an actual cost to the City and as they happen on a case-by-case basis, are not included within the budget. Any waiving of impact fees creates a cost to the utility system, which then gets passed on as increased utility costs to customers. Because of this direct impact, the City Charter only allows impact fees to be waived for economic development. When these fees do get waived, the resulting development usually leads to increase utility revenues that offset the cost of the fees and will not burden the rate payers. As the City of Georgetown and Georgetown Utility System operate together, these fees go to several different funds: General Fund: Municipal activities are allocated to this and are funded through property and sales taxes. The City, as the sole owner of the utility, also receives a dividend in the form of a franchise fee. Changes to the general fund affect city residents (voters). Stormwater Drainage Fund: This is funded through fees on utility bills that are paid by rate payers. Electric Fund: This funded through utility bills that are paid by rate payers. Water Services Fund: This funded through utility bills that are paid by rate payers. Multifamily Examples: As fee tables are hard to conceptualize, attached is a spreadsheet that breaks down the fees charged for Westinghouse Pointe Apartments and Gateway Northwest two apartments in Georgetown that are currently under construction, a one from Cedar Park and one from Round Rock (Attachment 1). Municipalities charge fees in a number of ways and it can be hard to compare directly line by line. Both examples from Cedar Park (Attachment 2) and Round Rock (Attachment 3) were larger complexes than have been built in Georgetown, but when you break out the cost per unit; it does not appear that Georgetown is charging significantly more or less than the other two municipalities. One important fact to note; Cedar Park and Round Rock do not own their own electric utility, so no fees are included for electric connection or impact fees for these two developments. Staff time and resources are budgeted yearly though staff wages, facilities and equipment costs. As these are a fixed cost, it is easier to consider waiving fees, both on the General Fund and Utility funds, as a specific amount of waivers can be budgeted for each year. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.

29 Housing Advisory Board meeting: June 11, 2014, Item B additional information Basic summary of city development fees and recommendations for incentives. Development fees are collected for three main reasons: 1. Collect revenue for city staff time to offset expenses that are already anticipated in the budget. (General, Electric, and Water Services Funds). o These fees are collect to attempt to make the department activities cover the operations budget. In the case of Inspection Services and Systems Engineering Inspections, the operations budget is mostly staffing, office space, and supplies. o The budget is set around June using the previous year statistics for a fiscal year starting in October. Because city budgets are somewhat less flexible than private business (we don t layoff during downturns, but we also don t hire more staff during busy years), the costs over or under runs affect the amount of tax money that is spent on the department. o This is the easiest fee type for the city to waive, as the staffing levels stay static once the budget is determined. 2. Actual material costs or third party contractors. (Water Services & Electric Funds) o These are real expenses for meters, taps, electric lines and contractors that we pay to conduct installation. The city only buys these items or service when there is a development under construction. o These are pretty much direct costs that are passed on to the development. o These cannot be waived without the city paying the direct cost, which is usually not within the predetermined budget. 3. Impact fees for capital improvements and facilities necessitated by new development. (Water Service and Electric Funds) o These fees go to pay for future improvements or recouping past costs to the water, wastewater and electric systems to handle the additional user demand. These are determined within the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). o When the City/Utility does the improvements for capacity to exist ahead of development, it is anticipated that the future impact will pay off the debt from the expenditure. o These fees cannot be waived for any reason other than economic development per the City Charter. City Council does not consider affordable housing economic development or a factor of economic development. o The city could subsidize the impact fees, which would mean that money from the General Fund would have to be budgeted to pay into the utility impact fee accounts at the time of development. Housing Advisory Board 1 of 2 June 11, 2014
