BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code requires a report showing impact fee collection activity to be filed semiannually with the Impact Fee Advisory Committee, which then forwards such report to the City Council with a recommendation. Chapter 100, Section 100-20(a) of the Code of Ordinances establishes that the Planning Commission shall serve as the Roadway Impact Fee Advisory Committee.
Impact fees are meant to recover the incremental cost of the impact of each new unit of development, creating new infrastructure needs. In the case of roadway impact fees, the infrastructure needed is the increased capacity on arterial and collector roadways that serve the overall transportation system. The City of New Braunfels has established six service areas to collect roadway impact fees. Under the program, fees collected in a service area can only be expended on projects in that area that are part of the Roadway Impact Fee Capital Improvements Plan.
On June 4, 2024, Scott McClelland, Assistant Transportation and Capital Improvements Director, representing the City of New Braunfels, presented the attached report to the Roadway Impact Fee Advisory Committee. The report, prepared by the Finance Department, summarizes the revenue, expenses, and encumbrances of the Roadway Impact Fee fund by service area during the reporting period.
