City Council Work Session
February 14, 2017
6:00 PM
CALL TO ORDER.
1. Changes to the Utilities Raw Water Requirements. (staff: Donnie Dustin, Carol Webb, Lance
Smith; 15 minute staff presentation; 1 hour discussion)
The purpose of this work session is to seek City Council input on staff’s proposed changes to the
current Raw Water Requirement (RWR) system and associated Cash-in-Lieu (CIL) rate. The review
of the RWR and CIL has been prompted by various recent events (e.g., change in water use and
water right prices) and has resulted in staff proposing several changes to the RWR and CIL that are
needed to ensure that the impacts of new development will be offset and that the City will have
adequate water supplies and infrastructure.
Staff will provide City Council with an overview of the current RWR system and associated CIL rate,
which allows for generating adequate funds and water rights to provide a reliable water supply for
new development (and redevelopment needing increased water service) within the Utilities water
service area.
Utilities staff recommends the following changes:
Adjust RWR schedules to reflect recent (lower) water use
o Use number of bedrooms for indoor component of residential schedule
Adjust CIL rate per a hybrid cost approach
o Increase CIL rate to $16,700 per acre-foot of RWR
Accept cash only (and existing City-issued water certificates and credits)
o Discontinue the dedication of water rights
Require periodic adjustment of the RWR and CIL.

o Review and adjust (if necessary) the CIL rate biennially
o Review and adjust (if necessary) the RWR schedules every 5 to 7 years
2. Impact Fee Recommendations. (staff: Mike Beckstead; 10 minute staff presentation; 1 hour
discussion
The purpose of this work session is to provide a holistic view of impact fee recommendations,
feedback from the community and seek direction of options for implementation. In early 2016, staff
initiated comprehensive reviews of the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees, Transportation Capital
Expansion (Street Oversizing) Fees, Electric Capacity Fees and Raw Water Requirement/Cash-in-
lieu of Water Fees. In late 2016, staff conducted a thorough inventory of all fees across the City in
order to better coordinate presentation of the holistic impact of fee recommendations to the
community. Staff has worked together to integrate the messaging of these efforts. Although each of
the fees being presented are at different stages of maturity in terms of outreach, the entire impact of
all fees will be presented with various choices for implementation including options for additional
feedback to be conducted and phasing the fees over a set time period.
3. Amplified Sound. (staff: Delynn Coldiron, Tom Leeson; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this item is to consider whether staff should move forward with changes to the
existing noise ordinance that would specifically address amplified sound.
