Capital Improvements Program Advisory Committee (CIPAC) Meeting - June 4, 2025
The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Arlington, Texas, convened as the Capital Improvements Program Advisory Committee (CIPAC) on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at 5:31 PM in the City Hall Council Chamber. The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Dr. Ignacio Nunez, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Commissioner Sumpter. The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the December 4, 2024 CIPAC session and considered a resolution to transmit the January 2025 Semi-Annual Report to the City Council.
Approval of Minutes
- Commissioner Blake moved to approve the minutes of the December 4, 2024 CIPAC session meeting, seconded by Chairperson Nunez. The motion passed with 7 ayes and 0 nays.
CIPAC Resolution - January 2025 Semi-Annual Report
- Mr. Richard Gertzon presented the January 2025 semi-annual report, highlighting the impact fee program. The central concept is to ask new development to pay its proportionate share of increasing capacity for roadways, water, and sanitary sewer systems. Service areas are delineated: roadway impact fees are area-specific, while water and sewer consider the entire city as one service area.
- For the period July through December 2024, total collections were $1,673,229. Most of this came from roadway impact fees (a little over $1 million), followed by water ($461,000) and sewer ($197,000).
- Construction was completed on two impact fee CIP projects: improvements to Bowman Road (just north of Interstate 20 up to Enchanted Way) and the Harris Road Water Main project. Work continued on three other CIP projects and a water pump station project.
- Mr. Gertzon noted that collections had a “good little bump up” compared to the two prior reporting sessions, and could have been even higher—potentially reaching about $2 million—if not for incentives given on one particular project during the reporting period.
- Commissioner Ware moved to approve the resolution transmitting the report to City Council, seconded by Commissioner Blake. The motion passed with 7 ayes and 0 nays.
Key Outcomes
- Minutes approved: 7-0.
- CIPAC resolution approved: 7-0, transmitting the January 2025 Semi-Annual Report to City Council.
- The meeting adjourned at approximately 5:40 PM, with no further business on the agenda.
Meeting Transcript
Yes, we are. That's correct. Yeah, we are. My name is Dr. Ignacio Nunez. I serve as chair of the Planning Zoning Commission of the City of Arlington, and I hereby call this Capital Improvements Program Advisory Committee meeting for June the 4th into session. At this time, we will ask Commissioner Sumter to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Individual liberty and justice for all. Thank you very much. A copy of the minutes of our December the 4th, 2024 CPAC session meeting were sent to all the commissioners in advance. Were there any changes or corrections needed to the minutes? Saying none, do I have a motion to approve the minutes? And is there a second? Won't let us. I'll make a motion. We have a motion by Commissioner Blake. Do I have a second? Commissioner Ware. Well now it's working. Commissioner Nunez. Please cast your vote. Motion passes, seven to nothing. Tonight we will consider a resolution to transmit the Capital Improvements Program Advisory Committee Semi-annual Report to City Council. At this time, I will call on Richard Gertzon to present its report on the Capital Improvements Program Advisory Committee, January 2025 semi-annual report. Mr. Gertzon. Yeah, before you resolution to transmit. Go ahead. January 25, the CPAC report to the City Council. We went over the details of the report in work session. I'll quickly highlight those for you here. Again, the central concept behind impact fees is to ask for new development to pay its proportionate share of increasing the capacity of roadways, water, and sanitary sewer systems. We have service areas delineated for the roadway impact fee program, tend to be exact. Water and sewer, consider the entire city as one service area. For the period of July through December of 2024, there was a total collection of 1,673,229. Most of that was in roadway impact fees of a little over $1 million, followed by water at 461,000, and then sewer at 197,000. Construction was completed on two of the impact fee CIP projects. One was the improvements to Bowman, just north of Interstate 20, up to up to Enchanted Way, and one was the Harris Road Water Maine project. Work continued on three other CIP projects. And work also continued on a water pump station project. Had a good little bump up compared to our two prior reporting sessions. So we're we're happy to see that. It could have been even higher, but again, there were some incentives given on one particular project during the reporting period that would have pushed the total collections up to about two million dollars. Again, you have a resolution before you. Do the commissioners have any questions. I have a motion to approve by Commissioner Ware and a second by Commissioner Blake. Cast your vote. The motion to uh transmit this to City Council has passed seven to nothing. And there being no further business listed on this CPAC agenda, I hereby adjourn the CPAC advisory committee meeting. Next, I call
