1. Call To Order: Chairman Richmond called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.
2. Public Hearing: On a request from the Public Works Department to consider the land
use assumptions that will be used to develop a capital improvements program pursuant
to which impact fees may be imposed for new expanded water and/or wastewater
service extensions or connections to the municipal utilities system.
Mr. Bierschwale explained to the commission that the city has recently annexed Northcliffe and
Scenic Hills. GBRA does not have the capacity to service the growth of this area. They are currently
looking to add 350,000 gallons of treatment with plans to discharge it into the dry Comal River.
The City is going to make a counter proposal to GBRA that they expand the plant capacity to one
million gallons. At which point, the city would build a sewer treatment plant and ask GBRA to
assume its operation.
The city currently charges a $1,300 impact fee per service at time of development. The proposed
rate is $1,794 for each service. Anything that is not used by NBU or CCMA will be applied to the
new sewer treatment plant.

Currently, CCMA charges a sewer rate of $985 per service. The fee includes all development in that
zone. The proposed rate of $1,794 per tap will help with development south of town. A large
development needs to be brought into this area in order to help with the costs involved.
An impact fee study has been attached to these minutes
