8. WORKSHOP ITEMS
8.1. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on system-wide impact fees for water,
wastewater, and roadways. (Presented after Item 9.4)
Anthony Armstrong, Planning and Recreation Director, stated that Impact fees are a one-time charge
or assessment imposed by a political subdivision on new development and are designed to generate
revenue for funding or recouping the cost of capital improvements that are attributable to the new
development. As required by state law, the city has a capital plan which lays out exactly what projects
the impact fees can be used on. These tend to be the larger roadway, water and sewer trunk line and
treatment or production facilities that are needed with additional growth.
In July 2023, the residential impact fee collection rates were amended to include annual increases for
water and roadway impact fees beginning January 1, 2024, and again on January 1 st of 2025 and 2026.
For water, the adjustment increased from 14% of the maximum rate to 50% starting in January with
increases to 55% and 60% the next two years. For roadway fees, the adjustment raised the current
average of II% of the maximum recoverable revenue to 20% beginning in January with further
increases to 25% in 2025 and 30% in 2026. Commercial rates were not increased. Impact fees are
derived from our Master Plans and designated Service Areas. For Water and Wastewater impact fees,
the Service Areas primarily align with the city limits but are also constrained by the boundaries of the
Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN). Outside our Water Service Area, the Wellborn
Special Utility District has established a water impact fee of $5,923/LUE within its own CCN area,
which falls within our city limits. The Roadway Impact Fee Service Area is defined by the city limits
and divided into four roadway zones, each with a 4-mile boundary to comply with the Local
Government Code's 6-mile maximum limit. Impact fees collected in each zone can only be spent on
Impact Fee Capital Improvement Projects within the corresponding zone.
CCM 032725 Minutes Page 4
Impact fee rates are a calculation of cost per service unit. Water and wastewater service units are
defined as living unit equivalents (LUEs), representing a typical connection for one single-family
residence (based on a 5/8" water meter). There is a conversion factor for larger water meters that
determines their number of LUE equivalents. The roadway service unit is vehicle -miles, which is a
measurement of the number of trips a site generates and its trip length. Trip generation and trip length
vary for each of the 66 different types of land uses. The roadway collection rate was initially
implemented as a flat rate across the four service areas. The programmed collection rate increases
approved in 2023 allowed for a variation of rates across the zones due to maximum assessable rate
constraints.

Mayor ProTem Smith opened for Citizen Comments.
James Murr, College Station, came before Council regarding his understanding of impact fees and
stated that if impact fees were reduced the market would not immediately respond, but over time prices
would come down and reduce profit margins for developers. He also stated that once his prepayment
of impact fees is used the scheduled increases of these fees will make development and purchasing
housing more expensive.
Valen Cepak, College Station, appeared before Council regarding housing costs and stated that he
cannot afford to buy a home and impact fees are part of the problem.
There being no further comments, the Citizen Comments was closed.
8.2. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a proposed ordinance establishing a
program for pool inspections, to be administered by the Brazos Countv Health District.
Kurt Johnson, Holly Ulbrich, and Kate Jackson with the Brazos County Health District, provided an
overview of why a ordinance establishing a program for pool inspections, to be administered by the
Brazos County Health District, is necessary.
➢ Texas Administrative Code Title 25, Sec 1, Chapter 265 grants the Texas Department of State
Health Services (DSHS) authority to adopt and enforce pool regulations statewide. DSHS will
not enforce pool safety standards in counties with a local health district.
➢ Local Authority: Local health districts can enforce Chapter 265 only if they are specifically
empowered to do so by a local ordinance. This authority is not automatic.
➢ Delegation of Enforcement: IF the local health district is designated to enforce Chapter 265
through a local ordinance, then a local health district would have the legal authority to enforce
Chapter 265.
If established through a city ordinance, this program will authorize the Health District to inspect,
review plans, and charge fees and penalties related to pool inspections for any pool or spa which is
not residential or owned and managed by the City. On February 18th, 2025, the City of Bryan rejected
this ordinance in a 4-3 vote. As stated in Section 18-108, the city will not be charged a permitting fee
for the inspection of City -owned pools or spas. The fee revenue charged for inspections will go to the
Health District. If a pool or spa is found to be in violation the city may be responsible for code
enforcement actions. This will require staff time and resources.
CCM 032725 Minutes Page 6
Majority of the Council directed staff to move forward with a proposed ordinance establishing a
program for pool inspections, to be administered by the Brazos County Health District.
8.3. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the Citv's legislative engagement
efforts.
Bryan Woods, City Manager, provided an update on the City's efforts, outreach, and activities related
to the ongoing 89th Legislative Session.
Mr. Woods explained how the city prepared letters to the Senate Committee; Senator Bettencourt,
Senator Schwertner and Representative Dyson. Each letter expressed the city's concerns regarding:
• A letter to Senator Bettencourt to clarify misleading statements made during the hearing
regarding City's Code Enforcement practices.
• A letter to Senator Schwertner to express concerns over several bills which infringe upon home
rule authority.
➢ S.B. 1509-Relating to the authority of a municipality to regulate within its Extra Territorial
Jurisdiction (ETJ).
➢ S.B. 1567 Relating to the authority of home -rule municipalities to regulate the occupancy
of dwelling units.
➢ S.B. 1883 Relating to the approval of land use assumptions, capital improvement plans, and
impact fees.
• A letter to Representative Dyson to express concerns over several bills which infringe upon
home rule authority.
➢ H.B. 19-Relating to the issuance and repayment of debt by local governments, including the
adoption of an ad valorem tax rate and the use of ad valorem tax revenue for the repayment
of debt.
➢ H.B. 2797-Relating to the authority of home -rule municipalities to regulate the occupancy
of dwelling units.
➢ H.B. 5489-Relating to a temporary moratorium on the imposition of an impact fee.
Majority of the Council directed staff to move forward with the City's legislative engagement efforts.

Jeff Howell, Planning and Development, stated that these requests are to rezone:
• Approximately 1.152 acres of land being fifteen platted lots generally located at 101, 103, 105,
107, 109, and 110-119 Knox Drive from PDD Planned Development District to MH Middle

The subject properties were originally platted in 2016 and developed as a townhome development

the existing structure and rezone to allow for the existing townhomes to function as a shared housing

district. The request to Middle Housing is in line with the reduced setbacks for townhome development
that were included as part of the original PDD modifications. If rezoned, the property would be

housing development.
