[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.
[29:55] >> Oh, May. Okay.
[29:58] We're not functioning good at night,
[30:02] » especially for Chinese food.
[30:04] >> Yeah.
[30:06] >> Okay, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a
[30:07] motion to close the public comment
[30:09] period regarding the impact fee
[30:11] enactment.
[30:12] >> We'll second that.
[30:13] >> The motion second. All in favor?
[30:14] >> I Okay, this is the big one. Board
[30:17] discussion if needed. I have nothing.
[30:21] >> I'm good. We went through it before.
[30:23] >> We did?
[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
[30:40] motion to approve resolution 202601
[30:43] 2026 impact fee resolution to adopt the
[30:47] IFFP and the IFA for water and sewer
[30:51] impact fees and a portion of addendum MN
[30:55] regarding impact fee administration.
[30:58] >> I'll second that.
[30:59] >> It's been motioned second. All in favor?
[31:01] >> I
[31:03] >> Any other Anybody have any questions on
[31:07] anything else?
[31:09] That's a motion to adjourn the public
[31:10] hearing.
[31:12] >> Make a motion to adjourn the public
[31:13] hearing.
[31:14] >> I can second that.
[31:15] >> Motion second. All in favor? I
[31:19] >> good.
