Assistant City Manager Chris Sharp presented the Quarterly Investment Report. After discussion Commissioner Richardson moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Logan to approve the Quarterly Investment Report as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Item 9. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Awarding Banking Contract. Assistant City Manager Chris Sharp presented documentation supporting awarding a banking contract for City of Canyon depository services. Mr. Sharp introduced Mr. E.K. Hufstedler representing Valley View Consulting, L.L.C. who provided an analysis of applications received for Primary Depository Bank Services. Mr. Hufstedler said the current depository bank contract with Happy State Bank would expire August 31, 2016 and the new contract would commence September 1, 2016 for two years with three one-year extension options. Mr. Hufstedler said applications were received from Amarillo National Bank, First United Bank and Happy State Bank (incumbent). Mr. Hufstedler stated all bank applications were competitive but Happy State Banks proposal requires the City of Canyon keep all of its balances at the Bank or in a local government investment pool such as TexPool or LOGIC (all or nothing). Mr. Hufstedler said this would restrict the City’s ability to manage its investable cash balances and could have a significant impact over the five-year term of agreement. Applications from Amarillo National and First United Bank stated “right of first refusal” and “no restrictions” respectively. Mr. Hufstedler said after much consideration, Valley View Consulting concurred with City Staff and recommended the City Commission conditionally award the primary depository bank services contract to Happy State Bank and authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreements most advantageous to the city. Mr. Hufstedler said the City Commission should also authorize the City Manager to negotiate the most advantageous agreement with either Amarillo National Bank or First United Bank if an acceptable agreement with Happy State Bank could not be reached. Commissioners voiced concern on the ability to invest available funds in higher performing financial institutions. Gary Houlette, representing Happy State Bank approached the Commission and asked permission to speak on behalf of HSB. After speaking, Mayor Alexander then extended an invitation for representatives from Amarillo National Bank and First United Bank to address the Commission which they refused. After discussion, Commissioner Logan moved to accept staff’s recommendation authorizing City Manager Randy Criswell to enter into negotiations with Happy State Bank and see if they would modify their application allowing investment of available funds in other institutions. After discussion, Commissioner Logan amended his motion adding for City Manager Randy Criswell to bring the Resolution modified with the negotiation back to the Commission for consideration. Commissioner Richardson seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mayor Pro-Tem Hinders abstaining. City Commission Meeting July 25, 2016 Page 3 of 4 Item 10. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Review of Public Comments and Possible Goals to be Set. Assistant City Manager for Special Projects Jon Behrens gave an overview of goal statements given from the City Commission Work Session June 30, 2016. Mr. Behrens said staff had added five additional goals representing major tasks and wanted to confirm that all goals were included as desired. Mr. Behrens said all goals were proposed to be addressed FY2017. Commissioners requested that things needing to be immediately addressed and of high importance to citizens be put on a “short term goals” list and asked that a timeline be included with the next discussion. Item 11. Budget Work Session. City Manager Randy Criswell gave an overview of the Budget Work Session held July 11, 2016. Mr. Criswell said no changes had been made from that presentation. Commissioner Logan said he didn’t want to see the City of Canyon get behind in taking care of infrastructure and would like to support an 8% tax increase and a 4% increase in water rates instead of the proposed 3%. Mr. Logan said he thinks the increase for water from the City of Amarillo will be substantial. Commissioner Logan proposed the funds from the extra 1% go towards future water main replacement. Commissioner Logan commended staff on all the work done on the budget presented. Item 12. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Taking Record Vote on Proposed Tax Rate, and Adopt Budget Calendar Setting Dates for Public Hearing. Assistant City Manager Chris Sharp stated the Truth-in-Taxation requires a record vote on the proposed maximum tax rate. Mr. Sharp said once this vote was taken, the rate could not increase but a lower tax rate could be adopted. Mr. Sharp stated the City’s current tax rate is $0.39083 per $100 valuation. Mr. Sharp said the 2016 effective and rollback tax rates were not known at this time and were awaiting final numbers from the County. Mr. Sharp also presented a calendar setting dates for two public hearings as required by the Truth-in-Taxation laws. After discussion, Commission Logan moved to set a maximum tax rate of $0.45 per $100 valuation. Motion died due to lack of a 2nd. Mayor Pro-Tem Hinders moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Richardson to set the maximum tax rate at the current tax rate of $0.39083.

At that time, the Commission asked staff to enter into negotiations for a contract with Happy State Bank. The main item to negotiate with them was the ability for the City to invest funds in accordance with the City’s investment policy and invest where the City can get the highest rate of return. This may or may not be with Happy State Bank. The City requires the option to invest funds outside of Happy State Bank. After negotiations with Happy State Bank, they have agreed to allow the City to invest our funds outside of their bank but would like to have the first right of refusal should we find rates higher at another bank, pool or other entity approved by the City’s investment policy. Additionally, after doing further analysis on the three banks proposals, staff along with our consultants at Valley View Consulting have concluded that Happy State Banks use of the CEDARs ICS account yields a higher rate of return than what Amarillo National Bank or First United Bank were offering. The City currently utilizes the ICS account and will continue as long as that is the highest rate available. After careful consideration and analysis, it is staff’s recommendation that the Commission adopt Resolution No. 12-2016, approving a two year contract with an option for three one-year extensions to Happy State Bank.

At the last meeting, a decision was made to increase the anticipated water cost from the City of Amarillo. As directed, we increased that revenue account by 10%. Water rates will have to be adjusted accordingly, and that Ordinance will be prepared and ready for your adoption at the September meeting when we adopt the budget and other Ordinances. We’ve also made some other adjustments due to the final numbers for the General Obligation Bond payment for the new Aquatic Center. We received our final Ad Valorem tax information. The adoption of the existing tax rate will only be an increase of about 1.7% over the Effective Rate. To summarize the highlights of the budget as it now stands:  Total budget is $18.1 million  Tax rate to remain at $0.39083  Proposed increase of $200,000 in sales tax revenue  Proposed increase of 2.7% in Solid Waste Fees  Proposed increase of 10% in Water Rates  Proposed increase of $5 in daily Green Fee Rate  3% Performance-Based salary increase  3 new positions created o One Police Officer o One Parks Employee o One Wellfield Operator  $1.15 million in Capital Improvements  $73,000 in contingencies There will be other opportunities for making minor changes to the budget, but we feel like this is our final budget at this time.
