[1:09] » Motion to adopt the update 20 2025

[1:14] master plan as presented uh December

[1:17] 11th, 2025.

[1:20] Yep. So, um like it says there, we're

[1:23] looking to adopt that um the master

[1:25] plan. Uh we presented that fully in

[1:28] December. Um and that is ahead of the

[1:33] impact fees because a lot of the

[1:35] projects in the impact fee are well, all

[1:38] of those are also listed in the master

[1:40] plan. And we could go through any of

[1:42] that if you if you'd like or um

[1:47] >> I would like to go through pa p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p page by

[1:49] page, please just

[1:50] >> No, I've actually I've actually read it.

[1:53] I'm

[1:54] >> You have

[1:54] >> I I'm totally fine if How's the other

[1:56] board?

[1:57] >> Are you guys You guys already

[2:00] >> Okay, so we're uh good on that.

[2:04] >> Okay, you want to make a motion?

[2:06] >> So Mr.

[2:09] like to make a motion to adopt the

[2:12] updated 2025 master plan as presented on

[2:15] December 11th, 2025.

[2:20] » Scratch my mind.

[2:21] >> Second.

[2:22] >> I'll second it.

[2:23] >> It's been motion second. All in favor?

[2:24] >> I thank you.

[2:28] >> Okay.

[2:29] >> Boy, I don't know what we're done there.

[2:34] » Okay. So, presentation of the Magna

[2:36] Water and Sewer impact. facility plan

[2:39] and impact fee.

[2:45] » Good evening. My name is Rachel with

[2:47] Long Associates and Mrs. Andrew.

[2:48] >> Is that I don't think that's on, is it?

[2:50] >> It turned back off on us.

[2:52] >> Is it?

[2:52] >> Oh, it's on. Okay.

[2:53] >> We just didn't turn volume up on it.

[2:55] >> Close enough.

[2:56] >> Do you're welcome to come up so you can

[2:58] hear it. Pull your chair on up.

[3:00] >> And I'm Andrew McKinnon

[3:02] in a second.

[3:03] >> We'll get a little louder here.

[3:05] >> Try that.

[3:07] Testing testing

[3:09] >> better.

[3:09] >> Good job.

[3:12] >> Um, okay. So, we're here to present on

[3:14] the impact fee for both the water and

[3:16] sewer utilities. We came about a month

[3:19] and a half ago um about the same time

[3:21] with the master plan and presented to

[3:23] the board uh about the impact fees and

[3:26] tonight we have a short presentation um

[3:28] for the benefit of the public. Uh the

[3:30] question that impact fees try to answer

[3:33] is how can we pay for the new

[3:35] infrastructure required to service

[3:36] future growth so that existing users

[3:38] aren't subsidizing future users or vice

[3:40] versa. Um as we know when developers

[3:43] come into town they're they're able to

[3:46] build the roads and pipelines within

[3:48] their own developments but impact fees

[3:49] allow them to pay for the impact they

[3:51] have on the existing pipes. There's two

[3:55] um documents that are part of the impact

[3:58] fee. impact fee facilities plan and

[4:00] impact fee analysis. So the impact fee

[4:03] facilities plan primarily identifies

[4:05] projects needed to accommodate growth

[4:07] and allocates cost projects between

[4:09] existing and future users based on who

[4:11] the projects benefit. And then the

[4:13] impact fee analysis builds off of the

[4:15] impact fee facility plan um and it

[4:18] calculates the appropriate impact fee

[4:20] based on information from the impact fee

[4:23] facilities plan. So, just as a reminder,

[4:26] some changes from the previous update.

[4:28] Um, the last full analysis was done in

[4:30] 2020. There's now been an update to the

[4:32] master plan that was uh just adopted.

[4:36] That master plan identified uh the

[4:39] projects that are needed for future

[4:41] growth and it has also identified

[4:45] um actual costs that are known now for

[4:48] projects that have been completed or are

[4:50] nearing completion. There's also updated

[4:52] cost estimating that are included in

[4:54] those master plans which directly goes

[4:56] into impact fees. Um

[5:00] and then we have updated water use and

[5:01] sewer production uh patterns which go

[5:04] directly into those projects. Um and

[5:06] then here are the impact fees. This is

[5:08] for water. Overall it's about a 2%

[5:11] increase. Um

[5:14] you'll see that there's a base impact

[5:16] fee and a user fee credit. All the user

[5:19] fee credit is there uh to some bonds

[5:21] that are within the district. Uh when a

[5:24] user comes in,

[5:26] um the credit offsets the amount they pay both with the impact fee and

[5:32] what they would be paying as a user with

[5:34] user rates. So that's why that that

[5:36] credit is there. If we go to the next

[5:38] slide,

[5:40] um this is the sewer impact fee. It's a

[5:42] little bit of a larger increase, um but

[5:44] it's at 7 and a half% which is fairly

[5:47] reasonable. And you'll see that there's

[5:49] also a fee credit um associated with

[5:52] this impact fee as well for those same

[5:53] reasons. We go to the next slide. Just

[5:56] some overall conclusions. Um historical

[5:59] growth has been a little slower than

[6:00] projected can account for the impact

[6:03] fees um increasing moderately. There's

[6:07] been a moderate decrease in water use

[6:09] since last the last analysis. Uh many

[6:11] important projects have been completed

[6:13] as we mentioned those were included in

[6:15] the impact fee. Um there's only been

[6:18] some small changes to the required

[6:20] remaining improvement projects and a

[6:22] significant increase in project

[6:24] construction costs. We go to the next

[6:26] slide. Uh just some of the next steps

[6:28] are the public hearing that we're having

[6:30] right now. Um and adoption and just a

[6:33] reminder that the impact doesn't go into

[6:36] place until 90 days following uh the

[6:39] official adoption of the impact fee.

[6:41] Then thank you. Are there any comments

[6:43] or questions?

[6:44] >> I don't have any. Do you have any

[6:45] comment? No

[6:46] >> questions or anything?

[6:48] >> Nope.

[6:49] >> Just uh would like to thank Bon and

[6:51] Collins and the team. I don't know if

[6:52] you guys have met Andrew before. Um Jeff

[6:56] or Keith usually comes out, right?

[6:58] >> You've also met Jeff.

[7:00] >> I've met Jeff.

[7:01] >> Yeah. Um

[7:03] >> yeah. Yeah.

[7:04] >> I just want to tell you guys really

[7:05] fast, you guys do an awesome job.

[7:07] >> Very impressed. Just so you guys know,

[7:10] >> I've told him that, too.

[7:12] >> Absolutely.

[7:12] >> Andrew's worked on a lot of the modeling

[7:14] and a lot of the financial information

[7:17] alongside the team and has been integral

[7:20] to the project. I know it's been a while

[7:22] since you've been out. That's probably

[7:23] why. Yeah.

[7:24] >> Usually engineer.

[7:27] >> Yeah. But we appreciate you coming. And

[7:29] so

[7:29] >> I had one question on that chart. The

[7:32] user fee credit.

[7:34] >> What is that?

[7:37] >> Yeah.

[7:38] >> Uh user fee credit is based on financing

[7:41] of projects. So the way it works is when

[7:44] a project needs to be financed,

[7:47] >> um an impact fee will be charged to the

[7:49] developer and then uh that project will

[7:52] be paid for over 20 years or so. Let's

[7:55] just say it's a 20-year bond. So the

[7:57] user rates that go to pay for that bond

[8:00] can't be charged to to the person buying

[8:02] a home, for example. It'd be like buying

[8:04] a car and then having to make payments

[8:06] on top of buying the car.

[8:08] >> Okay?

[8:08] >> Uh if that makes sense. So the the idea

[8:10] behind the user fee credit is that when

[8:12] you pay the impact fee, everybody else

[8:14] should be paying the user rates to help

[8:16] pay for that bond, but you shouldn't

[8:18] have to pay the user rates to pay for

[8:19] that bond. So you get a user credit

[8:22] upfront to basically ma take into

[8:25] account the fact that you will be paying user rates for the life of the

[8:28] bond. And so that that user rate credit

[8:30] goes down as the years go by because

[8:32] that 20-year bond, if you move in this

[8:35] year and you have 20 years to pay on it,

[8:36] you get more of a credit than somebody

[8:38] that moves in in 10 years.

[8:40] >> You're only going to pay 10 years on

[8:41] that.

[8:41] >> Oh, I see. Because it's already been

[8:43] paid for, so it's being paid off as go.

[8:45] >> That's why it's a lower number.

[8:47] >> That's right.

[8:47] >> Oh, I see. Okay. That's that was my

[8:49] question.

[8:50] >> That's why the net has

[8:52] >> it stays the same.

[8:53] >> Stayed. Yeah.

[8:54] >> Pretty close.

[8:56] >> Yeah. It's good. It's it's really

[8:58] prepared good. It's it you It's pretty

[9:00] easy to understand. That's good.

[9:03] >> And just a reminder that the secondary

[9:05] and culinary are in the one,

[9:07] >> you know, we just generated one fee,

[9:10] >> right?

[9:11] >> Just called water.

[9:12] >> Yep. That's makes it easy.

[9:18] » Okay.

[9:28] So we we don't we don't have the emotion

[9:30] on this. I mean to

[9:31] >> so I think we'll have to go to the

[9:33] public hearing. I don't have the

[9:35] >> sorry there. So there's a section next

[9:37] um on the agenda that that is referring

[9:40] to addendum N.

[9:42] >> Um addendon.

[9:43] >> Okay. Addendon N. Okay. Of the district

[9:46] administration rules and regulations.

[9:48] >> Okay. So that addendum is our rate

[9:52] addendum. However, in there there's also

[9:57] areas dealing with the impact fee.

[10:00] Trevor was going to go

[10:01] >> specific specifically how we administer

[10:04] the impact fee.

[10:05] >> Yeah.

[10:05] >> And so with our, you know, uh update to

[10:09] the impact fee, we wanted to make some

[10:11] adjustments to how we administer that.

[10:14] Um there's a few tables within that

[10:17] addendum and I can

[10:18] >> I think I

[10:19] >> I can go through each of those. Um so

[10:24] may and and this has to do with water um

[10:27] specifically. There is a small change to

[10:30] the sewer as well, but it's to the

[10:33] gallons per day um for that one. So

[10:37] this would be the first table that we're

[10:39] looking to make some adjustments to.

[10:41] It's for single family residents. Um,

[10:44] previously we had three categories of

[10:47] lot sizes.

[10:48] >> But with a lot of the development that's

[10:52] been happening, we wanted to re

[10:54] reconsider what those lot size

[10:57] categories should be. And then um also

[11:01] what how we apply the impact fee indoor

[11:04] versus outdoor. And then there's also

[11:08] the consideration of uh you know the

[11:10] landscape changes that are happening um

[11:13] going away from strictly grass to more

[11:16] of the localcape or you know low water

[11:19] >> use credit for that.

[11:21] >> Yeah. And that's the idea here. Uh a lot

[11:23] of these smaller lots they they might be

[11:26] the like town homes that then have a

[11:29] community space that is being

[11:32] >> So it's 6 an acre. Is that an on lot

[11:35] size?

[11:37] >> Yeah, those are an acreage. Yep. Yep. We

[11:41] can add that to

[11:42] >> is an acre.

[11:43] >> Yeah, that should be

[11:44] >> 6 of an acre.14. Yeah. Lot size is

[11:46] missing the acreage right there. But

[11:48] >> that is what it is intended.

[11:51] >> So 0 to 0 to 0.14 acres. 0.14 to 0.3

[11:56] acres. We've we've really found that as

[12:00] those landscape requirements have

[12:03] changed,

[12:04] we can't use the old as much of the old

[12:07] model where we're used

[12:09] >> we're making assumptions and it's

[12:11] covering everybody. We have to get more

[12:13] detailed

[12:14] >> and I think this is reflective.

[12:18] >> So, it's a little bit more work I think

[12:20] on our part in some ways just to make

[12:22] sure

[12:24] >> we've got a good but it's good work.

[12:26] more accurate. It's more accurate.

[12:28] >> Yeah. And you'll see that in the the

[12:30] note there at the bottom. Determined by

[12:32] district engineer. And it has some, you

[12:34] know, grass. What that equals is a eru.

[12:37] I'll zoom in a little more. 5.05

[12:41] erus per acre. Grass shrub mix.

[12:45] Um water-wise is less 2.02. So it's more

[12:51] um accurate in in the water use that

[12:54] you're seeing for those types of uh

[12:56] landscaping applications.

[12:58] >> So it's pushing people more to zero

[13:00] scape.

[13:02] >> Yeah. Yeah.

[13:04] >> They definitely benefit.

[13:05] >> Is there still a rule though? They were

[13:07] saying the county was requiring at least

[13:10] half of your lot in grass. Has that

[13:13] changed?

[13:13] >> No. Well, I think the city has adopted,

[13:16] to my knowledge, they've adopted the

[13:18] Jordan Valley uh standard, which I think

[13:21] allows for 15% of your front yard being

[13:24] grass. Um,

[13:25] >> is that a rule now?

[13:26] >> Mhm.

[13:26] >> Yeah, that's changed.

[13:28] >> Oh, it is.

[13:28] >> That that has the 50% I don't think.

[13:31] >> Oh, so now it's only 15%.

[13:34] >> I think it's depending on what the

[13:36] development is.

[13:37] >> Yeah. Right.

[13:37] >> Yeah.

[13:38] >> There's a percentage or a square footage

[13:40] limit on the front lots. grass in the

[13:43] front yards.

[13:45] >> Yep. And so so we've we've always asked

[13:49] them to provide their landscape plans,

[13:51] you know, and we always get those, but

[13:53] we don't have it. It's more to just get

[13:56] what is your total landscape acreage.

[13:58] Now we can more define that.

[14:00] >> That looks good.

[14:01] >> And it adjusts based on that.

[14:02] >> More accurate. Yeah.

[14:03] >> And then so if I go to the the next

[14:06] table,

[14:08] sorry. Um, this one's for multi-unit

[14:12] residential and the the indoor is going

[14:15] to remain the same, but the outdoor used

[14:18] to be just a flat calculation of 4.39

[14:22] erus per irrigated acre where this will

[14:25] let us, you know, look at specifically

[14:28] what is that grass area, what's the

[14:30] grass shrub mix, what is your water

[14:32] wise, really look at that landscape plan

[14:35] and make the determination

[14:37] based on that. So my question is if a

[14:40] person goes in with the uh water-wise,

[14:45] >> does that still count as 15%.

[14:48] >> If they do water-wise,

[14:50] you know, with some plants and stuff

[14:52] like that.

[14:53] >> Well, that that's what they could I mean

[14:55] they could I think they could do their

[14:56] entire front front yard in water-wise

[14:59] theoretically. There's

[15:00] >> 15% is a maximum, not not a minimum.

[15:03] >> Yeah, it's the max.

[15:04] >> Well, there was a guy just down from

[15:06] Artics. Well,

[15:07] >> and these would be new developments,

[15:08] right?

[15:09] >> Guy just down on Jean Street or excuse

[15:11] me, not Jean Street. Uh what is that

[15:13] street going all the way down

[15:15] >> the first one?

[15:16] >> No, Berlin. Rand.

[15:18] >> So, there's a guy in Ruland got a ticket

[15:20] last year

[15:21] >> because his whole yard was

[15:23] >> he did rockwise. His backyard was still

[15:25] grass,

[15:26] >> but his front yard was all water wise.

[15:28] Had a couple plants there and they said

[15:30] he got a a ticket from the county. Well,

[15:32] I got one right now that they've uh

[15:34] brought their whole front and backyard.

[15:36] >> Yeah.

[15:37] >> Well, I just wonder because we're trying

[15:39] to give them credit and be more

[15:40] accurate.

[15:41] >> I just wondered if the counties the MSD

[15:45] is going to be in continuity with that

[15:47] because we

[15:48] >> we're trying to help them conserve

[15:50] water, but

[15:50] >> yeah,

[15:51] >> now they're say, well, you got to have

[15:52] so much grass. So hope it's 15%. Now

[15:55] >> the So what might be a little on the

[15:58] confusion on that side is the water wise

[16:00] landscape ordinance requires still

[16:02] requires some vegetation,

[16:04] >> right?

[16:04] >> And so some residents that just put only

[16:07] rock in with no vegetation. They could

[16:09] get uh a ticket from the city depending

[16:11] on city ordinances because they don't

[16:13] have any vegetation.

[16:15] >> Yeah. So, I think we told them if they

[16:17] put some potted plants in and some uh uh

[16:20] drip irrigation on it, that would

[16:22] probably qualify as a water-wise,

[16:24] wouldn't it?

[16:24] >> Yeah, it it would count toward that

[16:26] vegetative every area. Yeah.

[16:28] >> Okay. Good.

[16:29] >> See, and what I want to change with the

[16:31] city is we've got people parking out on

[16:33] the streets and all that stuff. You

[16:35] know, you have to have a percentage of

[16:36] landscaping. I said to me, "Go ahead and concrete it all in and then above

[16:41] have all your shrubs and that from your,

[16:43] you know, around your border and up.

[16:46] It's a it makes it clean for the city."

[16:49] >> Yeah.

[16:52] >> A lot of them can't afford the concrete,

[16:54] but we told them if they put in some

[16:57] >> weed barrier, and 4 in of gravel and

[17:01] that's affordable.

[17:04] Okay. And then another another

[17:06] adjustment would be when we calculate

[17:09] nonresidential so you know commercial

[17:12] development um we use this gallons per

[17:16] day average demand um to calculate that

[17:20] and that changed from 513 as the average

[17:23] to 582

[17:27] um and that was based on usage

[17:29] information that Bowen and Collins got

[17:31] from previous years and and created that

[17:34] average day.

[17:37] >> Now, is this for

[17:39] in the house use or total?

[17:41] >> This this is specific to commercial.

[17:43] >> Oh, okay. Okay.

[17:44] >> Yep.

[17:46] Um and then their commercial secondary

[17:49] use will be done in a similar way uh you

[17:53] know as like multifamily where we'll use

[17:55] the these um different types of

[17:58] landscape to calculate how many erus

[18:01] which tells us how how much impact feed

[18:05] charge

[18:08] and then the sewer we have a similar one

[18:10] with the non-residential

[18:14] where we use this estimated indoor water

[18:17] use and divide it by uh a gallon per day

[18:20] per unit. And that has gone down

[18:23] slightly. It was 246.7

[18:26] gallons per day per unit and now it's

[18:28] 231.6.

[18:31] And so we'll use that to calculate our

[18:33] non-residential

[18:36] eru for sewer.

[18:41] And I believe that is we're not making

[18:45] any adjustments to any other fees, just

[18:47] those that apply to the impact fee.

[18:54] Any any other other comments or

[18:58] questions on it?

[18:59] >> I remember a guy came in about six

[19:00] months ago and he wanted a 2-in water

[19:03] meter.

[19:04] >> Yep.

[19:04] >> For secondary water.

[19:06] >> Okay.

[19:07] >> I don't know if he could afford that.

[19:10] Well, that that's the thing. If he's on

[19:12] a single family lot, we we

[19:16] >> wouldn't necessarily allow that unless

[19:18] they're in in this scenario that we're

[19:20] proposing, they'd have to have a larger

[19:22] than6 acre lot.

[19:24] >> Yeah, he I think he had an acre.

[19:26] >> Mhm. And so then

[19:28] >> how does that fall into

[19:29] >> Well, I would that would bring it back

[19:31] to the district engineer to evaluate

[19:34] what he's watering and and what the

[19:36] impact would be.

[19:37] >> Yeah. He didn't say, he just wanted to

[19:39] say, "I want to take care of my lawn."

[19:41] And he wanted to put in a 2-in meter.

[19:43] And I thought, "Holy cow."

[19:44] >> See, there's two and there's the idea

[19:47] behind the impact on a meter size.

[19:50] There's two components.

[19:51] >> Yeah.

[19:52] >> He's got a lot more capacity. Even if

[19:55] his acreage is not

[19:58] >> right

[19:58] >> equivalent,

[19:59] >> he might not need a 2 in to take

[20:01] >> if he wants to pay for 2 in. He's got

[20:04] there's a capacity. There's a minimum

[20:06] fee based on that meter size whether he

[20:09] needs the capacity or not.

[20:11] >> Okay.

[20:11] >> And and he didn't he knew.

[20:14] >> Yeah.

[20:14] >> And and and I didn't get involved in the

[20:16] question that you probably asked us.

[20:17] What are you watering and why do you

[20:19] need a 2 in?

[20:20] >> Yeah.

[20:21] >> Okay.

[20:25] » I think so. I think we're we're

[20:27] presenting that, but then when we adopt

[20:30] the impact fees, it'll also adopt those

[20:33] changes.

[20:33] >> That looks really good.

[20:36] It gives you a little more a little more

[20:39] uh calculation area.

[20:41] >> Yes. Doyle,

[20:42] >> can I ask a question? Just I don't know,

[20:46] but are the commercial charge different

[20:49] water rates than residential because I

[20:52] see I know they can't go turn the clocks

[20:54] off all the time like some homeowner

[20:56] can, but when their water run in the

[20:59] middle of a raintorm

[21:01] >> that makes me crazy.

[21:03] >> I know. Every business can't have

[21:05] somebody go around and shut their timers

[21:07] off and the clocks off, but

[21:10] they should be charged a different, you

[21:12] know, a lot more money than just an

[21:14] average.

[21:15] >> Yeah.

[21:16] >> Cuz I I'm pretty conscious if I

[21:18] raintorms coming, I'll shut it off and

[21:21] I'll leave it off for a few days where

[21:23] you drive down and it's raining and the

[21:25] sprinklers are all

[21:26] >> or nothing worse, the sprinklers are

[21:28] spraying the road and the sidewalks and

[21:30] not the grass. So Doyle, I just found

[21:33] out uh last year they're actually giving

[21:36] you enough of a tax credit you can go

[21:37] buy a different clock and you can either

[21:40] activate it off your phone or it has a

[21:42] sensor that it senses if it's raining it

[21:44] will shut your system off. So they're

[21:47] actually giving you enough tax credit

[21:48] it'll almost pay for the whole thing.

[21:50] >> I got one of them. Will you come install

[21:51] it for me?

[21:54] >> I have mine in.

[21:56] >> Yeah.

[21:58] >> But we make it down the road and they're

[22:02] the same.

[22:03] >> It's adjusted in the eru, right? That's

[22:06] how we adjust it. So, they're

[22:09] >> they're in the same rate structure,

[22:13] >> but we adjust them to be like if they're

[22:16] using the equivalent of 10 homes, they

[22:19] have to pay more.

[22:21] >> So, they are

[22:25] just all

[22:27] they don't have anything,

[22:28] >> right? They don't want

[22:29] >> not out here. It's not like that.

[22:35] » I have people come up to me and say,

[22:37] "Why are you why

[22:41] » in the morning?"

[22:42] >> Yeah. is done by fine. Well, one thing

[22:45] we're hoping when we get this automated

[22:48] metering information, we're going to

[22:50] basically give that to you to log into

[22:53] as a user and then you'll be able to see

[22:57] they'll these businesses, these home

[23:00] homeowners will be able to see what the

[23:02] pattern is and if there's a leak, you

[23:06] know, you'll be it's hopefully people

[23:08] will take advantage of that

[23:10] >> because that'll be another tool for you

[23:12] to

[23:14] The only reason I ask is I didn't know

[23:16] that you know they are charged and I

[23:18] guess they want to pay for all the water

[23:20] and they doesn't help everybody else but

[23:24] sometimes money doesn't matter

[23:26] >> right

[23:27] >> Doyle we've had people that have had a

[23:29] toilet overrun

[23:31] >> and over three months $1,500

[23:33] and they didn't even know that toilet

[23:35] was running over

[23:41] » they don't have their hearing aid

[23:42] adjusted said you can't hear that

[23:45] >> older home. They don't hear that in

[23:47] older home.

[23:49] >> If I told you our name

[23:54] » I know nothing

[23:56] went downstairs.

[23:59] Well, I think what the water company is

[24:01] providing now is going to really help

[24:02] that because the problem is probably in

[24:05] most cases it's a a rental unit and they

[24:09] don't pay attention because it's not

[24:10] them that will get it, it's the owner,

[24:12] right?

[24:13] >> Yeah.

[24:13] >> But if the owner can log in, what a

[24:15] great tool for landlords.

[24:16] >> I think it's great.

[24:17] >> They can see what they're doing.

[24:21] >> That's great.

[24:21] >> Yeah. Be nice.

[24:24] >> Okay.

[24:28] So do we make adopt an N yet?

[24:32] >> Number six

[24:35] >> verification legalation clause you

[24:38] >> so this is kind of like a preface into

[24:39] our public public comment periods. So

[24:43] usually Jeff you read where we have

[24:45] fulfilled the notice

[24:47] >> notice of the public

[24:49] >> oh go ahead we read that. Okay.

[24:50] >> Come on.

[24:51] >> Yes.

[24:52] >> U

[24:53] so on our verification legal notice, of the public hearing was placed

[24:58] on a public meeting notice website on

[25:01] February 9th, 2026 on the district's

[25:04] website on on February 5th, 2026.

[25:08] the public meeting notice, the

[25:11] resolution 20261,

[25:14] the water and sewer impact fee facility

[25:16] plans, and the water and sewer impact

[25:20] fee enactments have been available for

[25:23] public inspection at the Magna Library

[25:26] District Office and electronic copy on

[25:29] the district's website since February

[25:31] 5th, 2026.

[25:34] All requirements for notice of the

[25:36] public hearing were duly given according

[25:39] to Utah law.

[25:41] >> I'll second that. That's what we have

[25:43] here.

[25:44] >> Okay.

[25:45] >> Not yet.

[25:46] >> No, we got more.

[25:51] » So many impact fees. So, do we now do we

[25:54] open the public comment period?

[25:56] >> Yes.

[25:56] >> Okay. Open the public comment period

[25:59] regarding the impact fees facility plan.

[26:06] You're the representative from the

[26:08] public, huh?

[26:09] >> Yeah.

[26:14] » Whatever you know. Now

[26:17] density stuff and all that. Is it impact

[26:20] fee per unit?

[26:22] >> Yes.

[26:22] >> Correct.

[26:23] >> Okay. Okay.

[26:24] >> Yeah.

[26:25] >> For a bill pay one fee for 10 rows of

[26:28] houses.

[26:29] >> No.

[26:29] >> Yeah. We set it up as a equivalent

[26:32] residential unit is what that's Yep. So,

[26:36] >> so what we take the average usage over

[26:40] throughout the district and the number

[26:41] of connections we have essentially and

[26:45] try to come up with an average unit.

[26:48] >> Oh gosh.

[26:48] >> And then if it's more use, we would

[26:52] charge more units. If it's less, they

[26:55] potentially would be under, right? So,

[26:58] we're trying to capture all those

[26:59] changes in the type of development with

[27:02] that equivalent residential. So, it goes

[27:05] back and compares it to a regular

[27:08] typical user and then they're adjusted

[27:11] impact fees. They'll pay more if they

[27:13] use 10 times more. They'll pay 10 times

[27:16] as much impact fee.

[27:18] >> Yeah.

[27:20] >> From what I've seen, I

[27:25] » Okay.

[27:26] Someone want to make a motion to

[27:28] close

[27:28] >> the open.

[27:30] >> You want to do it, Dan?

[27:31] >> Oh, go ahead.

[27:32] >> Number nine.

[27:34] >> I'd like to make a motion to close the

[27:36] public comment period regarding the

[27:38] impact fee facility plan.

[27:42] >> I'll second that.

[27:43] >> Motion second. All in favor?

[27:44] >> I

[27:47] >> we have to have two separate u comment

[27:50] periods. That was the comment period on

[27:52] the impact fee facilities plan. Now we

[27:55] can open one to go

[27:57] >> connect

[27:58] >> for Yeah. I ask one question. How are

[28:04] we comparable with others?

[28:10] So should we be

[28:16] » actual

[28:19] capital?

[28:20] So I would say the maximum allowable

[28:29] » we we think looking at what the others

[28:32] do, we should be we're the lowest. But

[28:35] Nathan said we had to go through the

[28:37] master plan and we had to do it right.

[28:39] So, we're where we have to be.

[28:42] >> I would like it higher, but I mean some

[28:45] of the cities,

[28:46] >> some of the Yeah. Yeah. We would subject

[28:49] the district to a potential lawsuit if

[28:51] we

[28:53] >> did more.

[28:54] >> We provide everything, sewer and water.

[28:56] The rest of them they contracted out and

[29:00] we're pretty reasonable. So, it makes

[29:01] sense since we do our own, I guess.

[29:08] So, we need to make a motion to open

[29:10] >> Yeah, we need to make a motion to uh

[29:12] open public comment period regarding the

[29:14] impact fee.

[29:16] >> Go ahead.

[29:17] >> Okay. Uh Mr. Chairman, make a motion to

[29:20] open the public comment period regarding

[29:22] the impact fee enactment.

[29:24] >> I'll second that.

[29:25] >> Motion second. All in favor? I

[29:31] » Anything else? Last chance, huh?

[29:36] Okay, let's make a motion to close.

[29:38] >> It'll be 90 days, right? 90 days.

[29:41] >> 90 days.

[29:46] » So that makes it June.

[29:50] >> Really? Yeah.

[29:51] >> March, April, May, May.

[29:53] >> That'd be 1 of June.

[29:54] >> May.

[30:07] motion to close the public comment

[30:09] period regarding the impact fee

[30:24] >> Yes.

[30:24] >> Okay. What about you? Do you have

[30:26] anything a little bit?

[30:28] >> I don't. Um,

[30:29] >> do we have to read this one or just this

[30:31] one?

[30:33] >> I just read this one.

[30:34] >> Okay,

[30:35] >> Mr. Yeah. Sorry. Excuse me.

[30:37] >> Are you okay,

[30:38] >> Mr. Chairman? I would like to make a

[30:51] impact fees and a portion of addendum MN

[30:55] regarding impact fee administration.
