We drop the current fiscal year (FY17) from the plan and extend the plan by a year, to encompass FY22. Water Impact Fee Fund – Attached is a draft Water Impact Fee CIP. We believe this schedule is complete and ready for the Committee to discuss and made recommendations to the Commission. Items of Note: The scheduled projects now include more of the projects identified in the Integrated Water Resources Plan (IWRP). Three projects require borrowing in the 5-year horizon totaling $20.8 million (WIF32, WIF 35, and WIF40.) The borrowing will need to be backed by the Water Utility – and may have implications for rates charged to customers. Borrowing for these projects begins in FY20. There are a significant amount of unscheduled capacity-expanding projects proposed that cannot be supported by the existing levels of impact fee revenues. Revenue estimates for Water Impact Fees have been updated with the 5-year average collection amount, detailed on the following page. We have not included any potential financial effects of the fee study that will be underway in the coming months. Revenues have grown on average by 25% per year, over the past 5 years. Revenues have grown by an average of 11% per year, over the past 3 years. For the CIP, we have used the 5-year Average collection, plus 5% growth each year from FY18 to FY22. / Revenue History - Water Impact Fees    Fiscal Year Revenue Change  2012  $1,060,000 -  2013  $1,726,000 63%  2014  $1,833,000 6%  2015  $1,663,000 -9%  2016  $2,262,000 36%  5-Year Average  $ 1,708,800 25%   Wastewater Impact Fee Fund – Attached is a staff-recommended Wastewater Impact Fee CIP.
