Electric Capacity Fees The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss the new capacity fee model
and to get direction on when the new model and fees should be
implemented. Electric Capacity Fees are required for any new
development and are intended to recover the costs associated with
providing the infrastructure required to serve the new development. The
current model was developed when there was considerable green field
development within the service area so a new model is being developed
with the help of a consultant which is more consistent with the anticipated
redevelopment that will continue to become more common within the
electric service area. City Code requires the City Manager to review such
charges annually and to present the fees to the City Council no less than
biennially (Sec 26-473 (b)). This agenda item will provide an overview of
the new model and how it would impact some typical development fees.
