Cc: Robert Goode, Interim Director Joseph Gonzales, Assistant Director, Financial Services Christina Romero, Financial Manager III, Financial Services Aurora Pizano, Financial Manager II, Financial Services Jonathan Orenstein, Financial Manager III, Consumer Services Division Teresa Lutes, P.E., Managing Engineer, Systems Planning Division Attachment: Semi-Annual Impact Fee Collections Report Semi-Annual Impact Fee Collections October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017 Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 395, Section 395.058, requires that the Impact Fee Advisory Committee “file semiannual reports with respect to the progress of the capital improvements plan and report to the political subdivision any perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the impact fee.” This report supports the committee by providing financial information about the collection of impact fees, and the value of fee waivers and exemptions. Waivers are granted for policy reasons or are negotiated by City Council; exemptions are allowed under legal code or statute. In this report waivers and exemptions are grouped into one “waivers/exemptions” category. Adjustments are also made in situations in which fees are not owed. Since adjustments are not comparable to waivers/exemptions and do not affect the reporting of fee collection data, adjustments are not included in this report. Impact fees are collected, waived/exempted, and adjusted by both Water and Wastewater.  Pages 1 and 2 (Charts 1 through 3) detail the impact fees collected by the Combined utility, Water, and Wastewater, detailing fee collection and interest earnings by fiscal year.  Page 3 (Charts 4 and 5) detail the total amount waived/exempted by the Water utility, and the value of waivers/exemptions by category. These charts report data on a semi- annual basis, with reporting periods spanning April 1 through September 30.  Page 4 (Charts 6 and 7) are similar to Charts 4 and 5 but report the information regarding waivers/exemptions granted by the Wastewater utility.  Page 5 (Charts 8 and 9) report Capital Recovery Fee Collections by month for the current and prior fiscal year for Water and Wastewater.  Page 6 (Chart 10) Fee Waivers by month and by type for the current fiscal year.  Page 7 (Chart 11) Affordable Housing Waivers by Development with units by fiscal year  Page 8: Impact Fee Collections Summary inception to date with current six-month period.
