Item 8. Review and Discuss Bids for Replacement of Lift Station No. 4 and Associated
Pipeline Work.
City Manager Randy Criswell and City Engineer Dwight Brandt presented 6 bids received and
opened Thursday, January 26, 2017 for the proposed replacement of Lift Station No. 4 and
necessary forcemain and gravity lines. Mr. Criswell stated that staff needs direction as to
whether or not the City Commission agrees with the level of developer participation being
proposed by the City Engineer and staff. Mr. Criswell said this is about a $4 million project. Mr.
Brandt presented maps of the proposed wastewater line and lift station that would service the
proposed subdivisions of Madison Park and Canyon Crestview Estates. Mr. Criswell said
consideration needed to be given to the fact that water to the area for the proposed subdivision(s)
had already been provided at no cost to the developers and felt this justifies asking for the
developers’ participation on the wastewater portion of the project. Mr. Criswell stated the City
Commission also needed to let staff know if they were on board for taking up to $2 million dollars
out of reserves and using the $1.1 million that had been encumbered over the last several years
to pay for this project. Mayor Pro-Tem Hinders asked if there was a possibility of the City
acquiring the water rights on the property. Mr. Criswell said that had been discussed but was not
settled, and noted that would be a good subject to include in the future when development
policies are amended and updated.
After discussion, the City Commission directed staff to proceed with meeting with the developers
of Madison Park and Canyon Crestview Estates to discuss their required costs, and gave
approval for the use of up to $2 million out of the City of Canyon Reserves to pay for the city’s
portion of the project, with the understanding that the bid would need to be awarded prior to the
March 6 meeting.
Item 9. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1054, Amending Title XI,
Business Regulations, by Adding Chapter 118, Credit Access Business Regulation,
Setting Forth Regulation Requirements and Credit Extension Guidelines for Credit
Access Businesses.
Code Enforcement Director Danny Cornelius presented Ordinance No. 1054 for consideration.
Mr. Cornelius stated a “Payday Lender” or Credit Access Business is a business where a person
City Commission Meeting
February 6, 2017
Page 3 of 4
can take a cash advance on his or her next paycheck / car title with interest rates that often
exceed 500 percent APR. Mr. Cornelius said the loans are typically a two week or one month
loan with the majority of borrowers refinancing 6 to 10 times. Mr. Cornelius said at this time there
is no State Legislation regulating these type businesses so many cities are adopting Ordinances
modeled from examples provided by Texas Municipal League. Mr. Cornelius stated that staff
recommended adoption of the Ordinance.
After discussion, Mayor Pro-Tem Hinders moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Logan to
adopt Ordinance No. 1054 as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

Cornelius, City Engineer Dwight Brandt and Jon Behrens. Mr. Behrens said 7 submittals had

used to rank the submittals. Mr. Behrens said the top three firms selected were HALFF, Freese
and Nichols, and Kimley Horn. Mr. Behrens stated staff would like to move forward and set up
interviews with each of the finalists and set up an interview panel. Mayor Alexander stated he
would like for the City Commission to be the interview panel. Mr. Behrens said staff would
contact the finalists and see what dates would work for them and the interview panel and email
the final details as soon as they were worked out. City Manager Randy Criswell confirmed that
the City Commission found the chosen 3 finalists acceptable.

CITY MANAGER’S EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF AGENDA
To: Mayor and City Commission
From: Randy Criswell, City Manager
Date: February 6, 2017
Re: Executive Summary of Agenda Packet for February 6, 2017
Item Number 7
Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Bids Received for Wells number 34-37. We’ve
received bids for the drilling and casing of four (4) wells on the Brown Road property we
recently purchased for water rights. As we’ve discussed, the only way to protect our
interest is to be the first to Permit and install wells, so we’re doing that. These are good
prices, and this will be the drilling, casing, and site work for the wells. Power, pumps, and
piping will come later. This also includes a bore under the railroad tracks to get to our
transmission line on the north side.
I concur with the recommendation to award the bid to Hydro Resources in the
amount of $715,981.
Item Number 8
Discuss Bids Received For Wastewater Collection System Improvements: Lift Station No.
4 and Associated Pipeline Work. Dan has written an informative memo, and Dwight has
provided some helpful drawings to assist you in understanding these bids. This is a large
project, and the Mayor asked for this item to be for discussion tonight, with award to come
at a later date. There is a lot of cost, we’ll need to dip into our reserves, and there will also
be some participation in cost by the developers. As such, we felt this item would need to be
studied closely so you can make a good, informed decision. Dwight Brandt will be here to
go over the bids and the project with you.
Item Number 9
Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1054. I’ll simplify this by calling it
a Payday Loan ordinance. We’ve been wanting to do this ever since the Payday Loan
establishment opened up on 4th Avenue awhile back. Now is a good time to implement this
ordinance, because we don’t have any existing businesses of this nature in town today.
This Ordinance is basically a modified version of a TML-created ordinance that has been
court-tested and withstood the test. Most cities are using this template. If you agree with
staff that we do NOT want this type of business in our city, this will accomplish the goal.
The Ordinance doesn’t prohibit these businesses, it just simply restricts the way they’re
allowed to operate, which makes it non-attractive for them to be here.
I concur with the recommendation that Ordinance No. 1054 be adopted.
Item Number 10
Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Selection of Finalists for Comprehensive Plan
Update. We’ve received and reviewed the RFQ Submittals for the update of our
City of Canyon
CITY MANAGER’S EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF AGENDA
Comprehensive Plan. Jon has written a good, informative memo. At this point, we’ll be
meeting as a committee prior to the meeting, and will recommend 3 or 4 finalists to you.
Once the committee selects those finalists, we’ll Dropbox all of their information for your
review. At the meeting, we’ll ask you to approve the finalists, and then we’ll need your input
on how you want to conduct the interviews. If you, the City Commission want to conduct
the interviews, then we’ll need you to tell us. If you’d prefer the process involve some other
methodology like we’ve used to make the finalist recommendation list, then you can give us
that direction. Either way, the first step is to decide who the finalists will be, and then decide
how the interviews will be conducted.

REGARDING ITEM 7 AGENDA
To: Randy Criswell, City Manager
From: Dan Reese, Public Works Director
Date: January 31, 2017
Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Bids Received for Water System
Improvements – Local Well Field – Well No’s. 34, 35, 36, and 37.
This is a project that follows up on the purchase of water rights on a property that has
become known as the “Brown Rd. wellfield”. After this purchase, we found ourselves in a
similar situation that we had a few years ago, with the Rockwell Rd. wellfield. After some
test hole investigation and to protect our investment in these water rights, we
recommended that these four wells be drilled. First and foremost, this protects our well
spacing, as in, we’d be the first one ones with permitted wells and adjacent owners will
have to space their permitted wells based on our well locations. We’ve spaced our wells to
maximize our acreage and, under the water district rules, will be limited to produce 265
gpm from these wells. This pumping rate limits the well spacing to no greater than 300
yards (900 feet). So, in essence, the adjacent owners can have a permitted well no closer
than 300 yards to ours. Keep in mind, too, that this does not apply to domestic wells.
Domestic wells are those that produce 17.5 gpm or less and do not require a permit from
the district.
Please be reminded that these bids were only for the drilling, casing, and site work (grading
and fencing) for these wells. The project also includes a bore of the BNSF railroad, to the
north, from which the transmission piping will be routed through. No pumps, electrical
service, well piping, or transmission piping (other than through the bore) will be installed at
this point. Funding for this project will come from some of the remaining water bond funds.
Bids were opened on January 26, 2017, and four bids were received. The lowest bid was
submitted by Hydro Resources of Sunray with a bid of $ 715,981.00. We have dealt w/
Hydro in the past and are very comfortable with their work. If you recall, they drilled all six
wells at Rockwell. A recommendation letter from the Engineer and the bid tabulation sheet
is attached.
The public works department concurs with the recommendation of the Engineer to
award to the bid to Hydro Resources in the amount of
$ 715,981.00.

REGARDING ITEM 8 AGENDA
To: Randy Criswell, City Manager
From: Dan Reese, Public Works Director
Date: January 31, 2017
Re: Hear Update and Discuss Evaluation of the Bids Received for Wastewater
Collection System Improvements – Replacement of Lift Station No. 4.
This is the large project that we’re also calling the North Canyon Sewer Expansion. Due to a
potential large amount of growth north and west of Hunsley Hills, we had to upsize / replace
Lift Station #4, its force main and expand the gravity collection system to handle this growth.
During the design, we sized everything to handle the known incoming subdivisions plus
allowing ourselves capacity for handling additional growth to the northwest.
Early in this process, we also let the developers know that the City could not bear the complete
cost of a project of this magnitude. We had planned all along that some developer participation
will be required to complete the project. The cost to the developer(s) will need to be discussed.
Brandt Engineers has some recommendations on this, and the ultimate decision will be the
City Commission’s. When they give staff direction as to whether or not they support the
recommendations, we’ll contact the developers and let them know.
On January 26, 2017, we received and opened six bids. Bidding was for a base bid and two
additive alternates. The base bid includes everything needed to serve the Madison Park
subdivision. The alternate bids were designed in case additional capacity was needed for the
commercial lots on the west side of Madison Park and to serve any development west of
FM 2590. At a minimum, the base bid needs to be constructed.
The low bid for the base bid was submitted by L.A. Fuller and Sons Construction, in the amount
of $ 3,312,780.00. Fuller’s bids for the alternates were $ 107,829.00 and $ 240,859.00,
respectively. So, if the complete project is awarded, the total cost would be $ 3,661,468.00. In
preliminary discussions with our Engineer, we have come up with a recommendation to the
Commission as to how the costs might be shared. Dwight will be here Monday night to lead
the discussion of the particular details of the various portions of the project, and our
recommendation.
We have approximately $ 1,100,000 available for this project, with the intent from the beginning
that the necessary balance would be made up from reserves. The award recommendation
letter from Brandt and bid tabulation sheet is attached. Sketches of the project have also been
included with the recommended cost sharing breakdowns.
The Public Works Department is not asking for action on this item. The
information provided is to enhance a detailed discussion of the project,
potential cost sharing and bid award, which is intended for a later date.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1054, Amending
Title XI, Business Regulations, by Adding Chapter 118, Credit Access
Business Regulation, Setting Forth Regulation Requirements and Credit
Extension Guidelines for Credit Access Businesses.
A “Payday Lender” or a Credit Access Business is a business where a person can walk into
the business and take a cash advance on his or her next paycheck. Most of these
businesses offer a similar cash advance with a car title as collateral. Interest rates on these
loans, when fees are included, often exceed 500 percent APR. The loans are typically
marketed as two week or one month loans, but the majority of borrowers refinance, often 6 to
10 times.
In response to the state legislature’s failure to adopt any substantial regulation of Credit
Access Businesses, several cities have adopted an ordinance similar to Ordinance No. 1054,
which is modeled after an example provided by the Texas Municipal League.
The ordinance would require Credit Access Businesses to:
1. Obtain an annual certificate of registration from the City.
2. Maintain records of all extensions of consumer credit, including the amount of cash
advanced and number of installments and renewals. The records must be maintained
for at least 3 years and made available for inspection by the City.
3. Provide that cash advanced in the form of a deferred presentment transaction not
exceed 20 percent of the consumer’s gross monthly income.
4. Provide that cash advanced in form of a motor vehicle title loan not exceed the lesser
of 3 percent of the consumer’s gross annual income or 70 percent of the retail value
of the motor vehicle.
5. Provide that repayment of the extension is limited to 4 installments. Proceeds from
each installment must be used to repay at least 25 percent of the principle.
Advances that provide for repayment in installments may not be refinanced or
renewed.
6. Provide that extensions with a single lump sum repayment may not be refinanced or
renewed more than 3 times. Proceeds from each refinancing or renewal must be
used to repay at least 25 percent of the principle.
7. Provide that every agreement be written in the consumer’s language of preference or
must be read to the consumer in the language of preference.
8. Provide a form, prescribed by the City, to each consumer which references non-profit
agencies that provide financial education and training programs and agencies with
cash assistance programs.
It is the staff recommendation that Ordinance No. 1054 be adopted.

ORDINANCE NO. 1054
Credit Access Business Regulation
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CANYON, TEXAS, AMENDING TITLE XI,
BUSINESS REGULATIONS, OF THE CITY OF CANYON CODE OF
ORDINANCES, BY ADDING CHAPTER 118, CREDIT ACCESS BUSINESS
REGULATION; SETTING FORTH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS AND
CREDIT EXTENSION GUIDELINES FOR CREDIT ACCESS BUSINESSES;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER; AND
PROVIDING A PENALTY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, certain credit access businesses engage in abusive and predatory lending
practices, offering easy money to those members of our community who are in a tight
spot with onerous terms and fees; and
WHEREAS, the practices of certain access businesses cause members of our community
to become trapped in a cycle of short term, high interest loans resulting in large debt and
huge payments; and
WHEREAS, the Pew Charitable Trusts, in their publication entitled Payday Lending in
America: Who Borrows, Where they Borrow, and Why, (July 2012), wrote that “payday
loans are sold as two-week credit products that provide fast cash, but borrowers are
actually indebted for an average of five months per year.” The report further noted that
“on average, a borrower takes out eight loans of $375 each per year and spends $520 on
interest;” and
WHEREAS, the Pew Charitable Trusts, in their publication entitled Payday Lending in
America: Who Borrows, Where they Borrow, and Why, (July 2012), also noted: “How
much borrowers spend on loans depends heavily on the fees permitted by their state. The
same $500 storefront loan would generally cost about $55 in Florida, $75 in Nebraska,
$87.50 in Alabama, and $100 in Texas, even if it were provided by the same national
company in all those states. Previous research has found that lenders tend to charge the
maximum permitted in a state;” and
WHEREAS, the Pew Charitable Trusts, in their publication entitled Payday Lending in
America: Who Borrows, Where they Borrow, and Why, (July 2012), also stated that “the
vast majority of borrowers use the loans on a long-term basis, not temporary one. Thus it
seems that the payday loan industry is selling a product few people use as designed and
that imposes debt that is consistently more costly and longer lasting than advertised;” and
WHEREAS, the Community Financial Services Association of America (CFSA), the
national trade association for companies that offer small dollar, short-term loans or
payday advances includes the following in the “Member Best Practices” as listed on its
internet site (http://cfsaa.com/cfsa-member-best-practices.aspx): “Members shall not
allow customers to rollover a payday advance (the extension of an outstanding advance
by payment of only a fee) unless expressly authorized by state law, but in such cases
where authorized will limit rollovers to four or the state limit, whichever is less.” The
need for consumer understanding was also outlined on this website: “A contract between
a member and the customer must fully outline the terms of the payday advance
transaction. Members agree to disclose the cost of the service fee both as a dollar amount
and as an annual percentage rate (“APR”);” and
WHEREAS, the Center for Responsible Lending, a non-profit, non-partisan
organization, states on its internet site (http://www.responsiblelending.org/other-
consumer-loans/tools-resources/fast-facts.html) that: “car title loans are based on the
value of a borrower’s car - the ability to repay the loans is not factor in the lending
decision…”; “loan rates for a car title are typically 20-30 times that of rates charged by
credit card issuers…”; “the average car title customer renews their loan 8 times…”; and,
“on a $500 title loan, this average customer will pay back $650 in interest over eight
months; the principal borrowed will be in addition;” and
WHEREAS, lenders hold onto the motor vehicle title and when borrowers cannot
continue to pay the fees, they can lose their vehicles, which can drastically affect the
borrower’s means of transportation for work and other essential household functions.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Comprehensive Planning
Consultant Finalists Selection as Recommended by the Committee.
Prior to the January 13, 2017, deadline we received seven qualified submittals associated with
the City of Canyon Comprehensive Plan Updated RFP. On January 16, 2017, the RFP’s were
distributed to Mayor Alexander, Randy Criswell, Dan Reese, Chris Sharp, Danny Cornelius,
Dwight Brandt, and Jon Behrens. This group is using a submittal review scoring system based
on the criteria provided to firms in the RFP to rank the submittals.
The review group will meet on Thursday, February 2, to review the submittals and combine
their individual score sheets. Once the group has determined the top three or possibly four
submittals, those submittals will be brought to the Commission meeting along with a
recommendation that those firms be selected as finalist. Firms that are selected as finalist will
have the opportunity to make a presentation here in Canyon.
Staff would like to seek input from the Commission related to the interview, final selection, and
contract negotiation processes. The RFP discussed the possibility of interviews the week of
February 13, however, that date may be challenging for everyone involved. Completion of the
interview process prior to March 1, may be a more reasonable goal.
Should you have any questions related to this process please let me know.
