HomeMy WebLinkAbout8 Water Impact Fee Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Adoption of the Water Impact Fee Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY16-20. AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent MEETING DATE: December 8, 2014 RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Water Impact Fee Fund Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY16-20. BACKGROUND: Each year, the City Manager is required to prepare a 5 Year Capital Improvements Plan and submit it to the Commission by December 15th. The City’s Impact Fee Advisory Committee (IFAC) met on November 20th to review and make recommendations for the planned expenditures of Water Impact Fees. There was not a quorum of the committee, however, those present made suggestions and asked that the schedules move forward to the Commission. Item of Note: • The impact fee portion of the debt service payments for the Water Treatment Plant will be paid off in FY16. Debt service payments for WIF03 – 5.3MG Concrete Water Storage Reservoir project have been added to the schedule. • W35 – Lyman Tank has been added to both the Water Impact Fee schedule, and the Water Fund schedule. The total estimated cost of improving the tank is $7,000,000; with 62 $2,000,000 considered as “capacity-adding”, and is therefore the Impact fee portion of the project scheduled for FY18. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. If the Commission is does not wish to adopt this schedule tonight, it can be scheduled for approval on a later agenda. FISCAL EFFECTS: This step in the process has no fiscal effect. Once adopted, the Capital Improvements Plan becomes the basis of the City Manager’s Recommended Budget for FY16.

Replacement of the existing storage volume will be paid by the Water Fund. However, if the project can allow for added water storage capacity, Impact Fees will pay for that system expansion ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Do not add water storage capacity to the Lyman Tank. ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL Additional water capacity for the water system. ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED FUNDING SOURCES The total cost of this project is estimated at $7 million. $2 million is considered capacity adding, so is included in the Water Impact Fee schedule.

The proposed location of the reservoir is on City property adjacent (to the North) of the proposed new Hyalite/Sourdough water treatment plant. This reservoir is sized to meet the City’s storage needs up to 2025, assuming a 5% annual growth rate. Locating the storage reservoir at the recommended site will raise the hydraulic grade line in the City’s water system, which will increase pressure for the southern part of the City and will allow future development to occur in the south on a gravity system.</div> ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The water facility plan reviewed numerous options. This is the preferred alternative of the adopted plan. ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL Increased water storage to meet the needs of our growth community, and the requirement of MDEQ. Increased system water pressure in the southern part of the City. ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED Requires minimal operation and maintenance. Checking of valves, level sensors and vents on an annual basis and diver inspection and vacuuming every five years. Estimated at $4,000 annually.

Given the priority of the Water Treatment Plant project, the City is not currently planning to complete these projects. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Do not build redundant transmission main. ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL The city will be assured that water can be supplied even if one transmission main sustains damage and is offline for a number of days. The City receives the majority of its water from the Water Treatment Plant through an existing 30 inch concrete transmission main. If this main is off-line for any reason, the City will need to rely on storage from its three reservoirs. At 2005 water demand levels, storage reserves would be depleted in three days during the average day demand, and in 24 hours during the maximum day demand. Not only will a second transmission main provide the security of redundancy if the existing 30-inch ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED Annual Operating & Maintenance Costs: Impact Fees can not be spent on annual operations and maintenance costs. The Water Utility will see incremental increases in general maintenance costs. Current cost estimate of $12,500 per water-main mile maintained annually. FUNDING SOURCES Impact Fee eligible portions are related to improvement costs beyond an 8” line capacity. At this point in time, it is estimated that the 12” and 24” lines are most likely to be built within the next 5 years; the cost of over-sizing those lines would be eligible for impact fees and is estimated to total $1,874,886. Given the priority of the Water Treatment Plant project, it’s relative size and scope, these improvements have been moved to “unscheduled.” New Replacement Equipment Project Impact Fee Funds Project and Equipment Scoring TOTAL SCORE:10 FY18 REQUIRED - CAPITAL or DEBT SERVICE REQUIRED - USEFUL LIFE 10+ YEARS REQUIRED - CAPACITY EXPANDING BENEFITS TO NEW DEVELOPMENT: (Up to 20 pts)5 DIRECT BENEFITS: (Up to 10 pts)5 FUNDING CERTAINTY: (Up to 10 pts)0 COMMISSION WORK PLAN PRIORITY: (Up to 10 pts)0 FY19 FY20 68 CIP Project Fund Impact Fees Water PROJECT NUMBER WIF07 DEPARTMENT WATER IF PROJECT NAME GRAF STREET EXTENSION FY15 FY17 Unscheduled DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT This project is to extend Water Mains below Graf Street approximately ¼ mile in order to connect infrastructure east from 19th Avenue. This is an important connection for public safety purposes – allowing fire service to meet their response time requirements in areas where they currently cannot. The Water infrastructure should be installed at the same time the street connection is made. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Do nothing and wait for development to connect the infrastructure. ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL Improved traffic flow and better emergency response to the local area.

Of that amount, $13.3 Million is for capacity expanding costs of construction. The impact fee account will not have enough cash on hand to pay the costs of construction when the facility is built. As such, impact fee revenues will be dedicated to pay the outstanding debt in future years, as fee revenues are collected. At this point, approximately $5 Million of impact fee eligible costs will be paid with a long-term loan (20 years, 4%) through the State’s Revolving Loan Fund. A debt schedule will be updated semi-annually with the amount of impact fee dollars that have been dedicated to debt payments until the full amount owed is paid. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL Major capital expansion of the Bozeman Water Treatment Plant (WTP) will enable the City to meet its ever growing demand for water services. Expansion of the Bozeman WTP is consistent with the City’s long-term need to accommodate growth and economic development in the Gallatin Valley. ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED FUNDING SOURCES FY08 Pilot Testing: $200,000. FY09,FY10, FY11 Design and Membrane equipment deposit, construction $7,267,000. FY12 $16,460,000. FY13 $16,460,000. Of this total, approximately 33% is eligible for payment via impact fees.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Postpone installation to some future time. It is unlikely that such an ambitious and expensive project could or would be installed by the concerted effort of private developers. Even if that were to happen, the City would be asked to participate in the oversizing of these mains, all of which exceed the local 8” diameter requirement. ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL Provides the water main backbone which will support future growth In a large area of the City.

Water right 41H 3045900 is a statement of claim for a 6000 acre-foot volume of water for municipal purposes. The City of Bozeman is a stockholder in the Bozeman Creek Reservoir Company. The legal volume claimed by water right 41H 3045900 currently cannot be put to municipal use as the historic diversion structure, Mystic Lake Dam, was breached in 1984 due to a hazardous geologic condition. The water right must proceed through a ‘Change Application’ with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation to move the decreed point of diversion to a new point of diversion at a new water impoundment in the Bozeman Creek municipal watershed. Identifying a suitable location, as well as determining the size and character of a new impoundment, is a separate effort that must move in parallel with the Change Application funded through this CIP item. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Change Application to move municipal water right 41H 3045900 to ‘in-stream flow’ to protect the right from claims of abandonment. ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL Makes water supply legally available to meet the long-range water demands of the City of Bozeman in accordance with adopted recommendations of the Integration Water Resources Plan. Preserves a valuable decreed water right. ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED Annual O&M costs for a large impoundment (6,000 acre-feet) were estimated at $500,000/yr in the 1999 Sourdough Dam Feasibility Study. An impoundment of smaller size, which more likely to be pursued, would likely be substantially less but the degree of which is presently unknown.
