The Capital Improvement Advisory Committee approved the town’s semiannual impact-fee report after a brief presentation and roll-call vote.
Chair called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. and introduced the semiannual report, which Lee Rodriguez, the town’s capital projects and tourism manager, presented. Rodriguez said roadway life-to-date revenue was about $36.9 million with period receipts near $600,000 and an ending roadway balance of roughly $5.1 million as of Sept. 30, 2025. Water life-to-date revenue was reported at about $41.5 million with period receipts a little over $700,000, and wastewater revenues were cited at approximately $49.0 million with period expenses mostly tied to Long Prairie projects.
Rodriguez told the committee that the town moved roughly $9 million into the Lakeside reuse project budget during the six-month period and that most period roadway expenses were in service area C for the Denton Creek bridge work.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about whether the reported receipts and expenses matched forecasts; staff confirmed the figures generally aligned with the town’s projections and that expenses are allocated to specific projects as revenue is received.
A motion to approve the minutes from the Nov. 10, 2025 meeting and a motion to approve the semiannual impact-fee report were each moved, seconded and carried by roll call. The chair announced the motions passed.
The committee was told that the impact-fee update and the independent impact-fee audit will go to Town Council for public hearings scheduled for April 20.
The committee’s approval advances the report and the related audit and fee-update packages to the Town Council for public hearings and potential action; the audit and fee-adoption processes will be considered by council on the scheduled April 20 agenda.
