Mr. Neighbors said the Pampa pool has put them on the map and he felt a new pool would do the same for Canyon. Mayor Alexander moved to address Item 7 next. Item 7. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on RFQ’s for Swimming Pool. Mayor Alexander praised the report from the Pool Committee, and the work done by Pool Manager Andrew Neighbors. Mayor Alexander gave a brief description on what was gained by the study and explained it’s a big consideration to go into debt when the city has been debt free for a long time. Assistant City Manager for Special Projects Jon Behrens addressed the Commissioners and asked to send out a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Mr. Behrens stated this would allow for the city to search for the most qualified team to provide a feasibility study for an aquatic facility to best fit the needs and wants of Canyon. Mr. Behrens said the study would basically break down into 6 stages: (1) Design program; (2) Cost estimates; (3) Programming; (4) Operation Structure; (5) Revenue Projections; and (6) End results. Mr. Behrens said the study would cost $5,000 to $40,000 but the RFQ costs nothing. Mayor Pro-Tem asked if the study done by the Pool Committee would be taken into consideration and if a feasibility study was needed. Mr. Behrens said the Pool Committee study is a very good starting point giving what is wanted by the citizens. The consultants will use that information along with their more in-depth findings providing cost City Commission Meeting August 25, 2014 Page 3 of 4 estimates for construction and staffing and running the pool as well as rolling cost projections. Mr. Behrens gave an example of a city not doing a feasibility study and 3 weeks out from completion of the facility they learned they were 3 million over budget due to not knowing the full operational costs. Commissioner Richardson commended Mr. Behrens on a very informative presentation and thanked the Pool Committee for an outstanding job. Mayor Alexander expressed appreciation and said paying the fees for the feasibility study would be determined in the budget. After discussion, Mayor Pro-Tem Welch moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Richardson to proceed with the Request for Qualifications as stated. Motion carried unanimously. Item 8. Budget Work Session. Mayor Alexander gave a brief recap on the last budget work session. Mayor Alexander requested that City Manager Randy Criswell clarify where the funds for a pool study would come from. Mr. Criswell said he didn’t want to see the Commissioners have to pick between a park for Canyon East Subdivision and a pool. Mr. Criswell said in the past money was pulled from reserves for studies such as the golf course purchase and the city hall study. Mr. Criswell suggested putting the $40,000 for the pool study in the proposed budget towards the Canyon East Park and pay for the pool feasibility study out of reserves. Mayor Alexander and Mayor Pro- Tem Welch inquired to the unrestricted balance in the bank and how much had been pulled out this year. Finance Director Chris Sharp reported there was approximately 7 million in reserves. Commissioners then discussed other items in the budget with verification made on effects of the proposed taxes.

Mr. Criswell stated at that time the Corps informed the City they had been prohibited from taking on any new 205 studies due to limited funding, but if they were ever given any more funding, the Canyon project could be considered. Mr. Criswell stated he was recently contacted by the Corps and informed there is some funding for Section 205 Feasibility Studies inquiring if the City of Canyon was still interested. Mr. Criswell stated if the City was interested our name would be thrown into the hat for consideration along with other flood prone areas, so no guarantee we’d make the cut. Mr. Criswell said if the city was selected, the Corps would pay the first $100,000 of the study with any overages split 50/50 between the city and the Corps. Mr. Criswell said once the study was complete, the City could choose whether or not to proceed with the construction of the improvements. Mr. Criswell said if the City did decide to proceed, we would match the Federal money with 35% of local match, of which 10% had to be cash. However, at any time we chose, we could back out of the project up until we committed to fund the actual project. Mayor Pro-Tem Welch asked if the goal of the study was aesthetic or preventive, and if the flood prone areas had always been considered in a “flood zone”? Mr. Criswell stated he always told the Foundation it was not a beautification directed study but a preventive one, and that prior to the 1978 flood, there wasn’t a designated flood zone and no flood insurance requirements. Commissioner Hinders stated he thought the city should continue with the process with nothing to lose and it would be moving forward. After discussion, Commissioner Hinders moved, duly seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Welch to complete and file the Letter of Request to be considered for the Section 205 project. Motion carried unanimously.

The RFQ will allow the City to solicit interest from professional consultants related to a potential project in Canyon. Once the most qualified groups are identified they will be interviewed. The selection process will eventually lead to contractual negotiations with a consultant and determination of services to be provided, as well as the cost of the services. The RFQ states that the City reserves the right to end the selection process without selecting a consultant or moving forward with the study. The City does not incur any actual expenses in this process until a contract is signed with the consultant. I have previously provide information related to the necessity to have a Feasibility Study carried out. Should you have any questions related to the RFQ or the Feasibility Study please let me know. City of Canyon AGENDA To: Mayor and City Commission From: Randy Criswell, City Manager Date: August 25, 2014 Re: Budget Work Session. At the last meeting, you continued discussion about the new park at Canyon East, and the Aquatic Facility feasibility/design. As was discussed, we currently have $60,000 in the budget for the Canyon East Park, with the potential for another $10,000 that Brian has encumbered for park improvements. We also budgeted $40,000 as a maximum for the cost of the feasibility study for the Aquatic Facility. There is clearly interest in both of those projects. Whatever you decide, we’ll do.
