Discussed the Land Use Map and the important role it will play as a tool with
decisions made by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Staff.
Discussion on how the Land Use Map could and should be changed
anytime zoning is updated.
Commissioner Lyons again voiced his opposition to Impact Fees and
Parkland Dedication Ordinances being included in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr.
Lyons commended City Manager Criswell and City Staff on doing a great job
running the City of Canyon. Commissioner Lyons said he looked into the City of
Lubbock’s consideration of Impact Fees and found the discussion includes the
possibility of the city paying part of the fees to make homes cheaper for
homeowners. Commissioner Lyons cited several areas in the Proposed
Comprehensive Plan that he felt were contradictory to imposing Impact Fees and
hurting residential building.
Mayor Hinders felt that the brick streets in Canyon shouldn’t all be replaced
and needed investigating for alternatives.
Commissioners discussed landscaping requirements and implementation of
new construction and current lots. Staff stated there could be an ordinance
adopted that would trigger standards if changes made to established property.
Commissioner Jones asked if Police Chief Davis had studied the

A five minute break was taken at this time.

award of the Brown Road Wellfield well piping transmission line and pumps for wells 34 thru 37.
Mr. Reese stated this would complete the new Brown Road wellfield and allow Wells 34-37 to be
placed into service. Mr. Reese said Xcel Energy was working on the design for getting power to
the wells and hoped to have the cost estimate very soon. Mayor Hinders asked what the pumping
capacity would be for each well. Mr. Reese responded each well would be set at 265 gpm as
regulated by district rules. Mr. Reese stated the low bidder was received from Scott Wampler
Construction and Services in the amount of $817,900. Commissioner Lyons asked if the City had
worked with Mr. Wampler before with Mr. Reese stating the City has and they have proven to be
good.

Item 9. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1100 Enforcing All Pertinent
City Ordinances Applicable and Enforceable Within the ETJ of the City of Canyon.
City Manager Randy Criswell and City Attorney Chuck Hester presented Ordinance No. 1100 for
consideration. Mr. Criswell stated as discussed in the Comprehensive Plan, with the growth
occurring outside the City Limits but in the ETJ of Canyon, it is recommended authority be given to
the City of Canyon to enforce all applicable Codes within the ETJ. Mr. Criswell said the City
already has plat approval and the City of Canyon has a good working relationship with the Texas
Health Department concerning water and septic. Mr. Criswell confirmed the City will have no
zoning authority.
After discussion, Mayor Pro-Tem Richardson moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Remlinger
to approve Ordinance No. 1100 as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

PERSONS OTHER THAN RETAIL PUBLIC UTILITIES AS DEFINED BY SECTION

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Item 10. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1098 Amending the City of

Page 4 of 5
Chief of Police Dale Davis presented Ordinance No. 1098 for consideration. Chief Davis stated
the Canyon Postmaster of the United States Postal Service had requested to limit parking in front
of curb side delivery mailboxes. Chief Davis stated the City of Amarillo has a similar ordinance.
Chief Davis said the public would be educated through social media, newspaper and possibly
water bill stuffers before any tickets would be issued. Mayor Hinders questioned the need of an
ordinance. Chief Davis said the USPS rules prevent drivers from exiting their vehicles, so when a
vehicle is blocking a curbside mailbox, that resident doesn’t get their mail.
After discussion Commissioner Remlinger moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Jones to adopt
Ordinance No. 1098 as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
ORDINANCE NO. 1098
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CANYON, TEXAS, AMENDING §72.01 OF
THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF CANYON BY ADDING A NEW
§72.01(B)(2)(f); AND, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Item 11. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1099, An Ordinance
Amending the City of Canyon Code of Ordinances, Sections 98.13 and 98.15, Relating
to Events at the Cole Community Center Where Alcohol Is To Be Allowed.
City Manager Randy Criswell presented Ordinance No. 1099 for consideration. Mr. Criswell said
with the recent legalization of alcohol in Canyon with a Special Event Permit, there had been
interest expressed by the Commission to further discuss other facilities and parks at some point.
Mr. Criswell said a high number of people renting the Cole Community Center ask about serving
alcohol at their event, and when they are told it is prohibited, they either break the rules or go
elsewhere for their function. Mr. Criswell stated he felt this was an issue that should be addressed.
Chief Dale Davis was asked what he thought about allowing alcohol at the community center, his
response was people are drinking over there already. They just aren’t telling the City, but staff
finds evidence of it on a consistent basis. Chief Davis said by adopting Ordinance No. 1099, it
would ensure a Police Officer is present during events with alcohol. Commissioner Lyons stated
he didn’t feel taxpayers wanted alcohol in city facilities. Mayor Hinders stated he felt we should
move slow with allowing alcohol at events. City Attorney Chuck Hester stated again that alcohol is
here and it’s important the City can regulate it which would be easier to do with a permitted event
requiring the presence of Law Enforcement.
No action was taken due to the lack of a motion.
ORDINANCE NO. 1099
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CANYON, TEXAS, AMENDING SECTIONS
98.13 CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING TO EVENTS WITH ALCOHOL AT
COLE COMMUNITY CENTER; AMENDING SECTION 98.15 RELATING TO
CONDITIONS OF PERMITS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Item 12. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Purchase of New AED’s for Emergency
Response Vehicles and Various City Facilities, With Such Action Also Approving a
Required Budget Amendment.
Fire Chief Mike Webb presented plans to purchase new AED’s to replace old ones in service for a
total of $34,116.37. Chief Webb stated the AEDs in the emergency vehicles were nine years old
with the ones in city facilities over ten years old. Chief Webb said support and parts for these units
are no longer available through the manufacturer. Chief Webb said they planned to place the old
units in other city vehicles to be used until they no longer work at all. Commissioner Jones stated
he thought it would be good to use the old ones, but make plans to replace those once they were
out as well.
After discussion, Commissioner Jones moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Remlinger to
approve the purchase of AED’s to replace old ones and to amend the 2018-2019 Budget to
accommodate the purchase. Motion carried unanimously.

Item 6. Comprehensive Plan Workshop.
City Manager Randy Criswell and Assistant City Manager Jon Behrens presented a final
Draft of the City of Canyon Comprehensive Plan for discussion. Commissioners
discussed Chapters 1 and 2 making the following points:
• Talked about future growth and population.
• Interest in facts of the high percent of population holding degrees.
• Found notable with work distribution that Canyon has a lot of service
businesses, not much manufacturing or sales businesses.
• Commissioner Lyons voiced his opposition to Impact Fees and Parkland
Dedication Ordinances being included in the Comprehensive Plan. He said that
as a local builder adding these fees increases the builders cost and would hurt
local businesses because prospective homeowners will purchase cheaper
homes in South Amarillo taking “rooftops” away from Canyon. Mr. Lyons said
this will make it harder for already struggling local businesses to make it. Mr.

Lyons said he predicts if the fees are implemented in Canyon there wouldn’t be
any more developments in Canyon. Commissioner Jones asked if the developer
doesn’t pay Impact Fees, who pays for expansion of utilities to serve the
development, Mr. Criswell stated the taxpayers of Canyon would pay for it
through service fees. Mr. Criswell also stated that it was important to remember
that the proposed Plan simply recommends the Study of impact fees, and does
not contain a mandate that they be implemented.
Mr. Behrens stated that the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan are a result of citizen
input and detailed study by the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee.
Commissioners agreed to pick up discussion of a few more chapters of the final draft of the
Comprehensive Plan at the next meeting beginning with Chapter 3.
A five minute break was taken at this time.
Item 7. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Palo Duro Creek Golf Course New Car
Proposal.
Palo Duro Creek Golf Course Director Casey Renner presented a modified proposal for the
purchase of new golf cars. At the meeting on August 6, 2018, the City Commission approved the
purchase of golf cars with lithium batteries, but after that meeting, it was discovered that the pricing
was misunderstood and would cost more than was approved. Staff then reevaluated proposals
based on the purchase amount that was approved, and have a new recommendation. Mr. Renner
stated it was staff’s recommendation to purchase the EZ Go cars with traditional lead-acid batteries
for $195,912.00. City Manager Randy Criswell stated staff felt it was important to bring this back to
the City Commission for approval since the award would need to be different than the original
award.
After discussion, Mayor Pro-Tem Richardson moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Remlinger
to authorize the purchase of EZ Go Lead Acid cars for $195,912.00. Motion carried unanimously.
Item 8. Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Resolution No. 07-2018, Approving the City
of Canyon’s Investment Policy.
Assistant City Manager Chris Sharp presented the City of Canyon Investment Policy for annual
approval. Mr. Sharp stated the only change made to the Investment Policy was the deletion of the
City of Canyon’s stated preferred fund balance of 50% of the annual operating costs, due to the
fact that when we were being re-rated by S&P, they wanted to use that preferred target against us,
and when we’ve dropped below that value they wanted to claim we were violating our own policy.
Mr. Sharp said staff had to explain that the 50% was a goal of the City and not a requirement. City
Manager Randy Criswell expressed appreciation to Mr. Sharp and his hard work and the time he
spent fighting to keep the City of Canyon bond rating the same.

From: Dan Reese, Public Works Director
Date: October 31, 2018
Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Bids Received for Water
System Improvements – Brown Road Wellfield – Well Piping,
Transmission Line & Pumps for Wells 34-37.
This project will be the completion of the new Brown Road wellfield. Once
constructed, this project will allow Wells 34-37 to be placed in service. If you will
recall, the wells were drilled, cased, test pumped and secured w/ fencing on a
previous project.
Last Thursday, October 25, we opened bids on the project and six bids were
received. The bids received ranged from approximately $818,000 to $1,359,000. The
engineer’s estimate was a little over $998,000. The low bid was submitted by Scott
Wampler Construction & Services of Canyon in the amount of $817,900.00. The time
that was bid to complete the project was 210 calendar days.
Another large expense to be added to this project will be construction or power lines
to each of the sites. I have spoken w/ Xcel, their project is under design and they
have not come up with a cost estimate at this time. Hopefully, we’ll have that number
prior to the meeting.
Funding for this project is proposed to come from the water bond funds. A sketch of
the project, bid tabulation sheet and award recommendation from the Engineer is
attached.
The public works department concurs with the Engineer and recommends
awarding the Brown Rd. wellfield transmission line project to Scott Wampler
Construction & Services in the amount of $817,900.00.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1100
Enforcing All Pertinent City Ordinances Applicable and Enforceable
Within the ETJ of the City of Canyon.
___________________________________________________________________
As was discussed in the Comprehensive Plan redevelopment, with the growth
that is occurring outside the City Limits but within the ETJ, we felt it would be
appropriate to recommend to you that we grant ourselves the authority to
enforce all applicable Codes within the ETJ. This could solve a lot of problems
and headaches as the area continues to develop, and could be greatly
beneficial moving forward.
Chuck has prepared Ordinance No. 1100 for this purpose.
It is staff’s recommendation that Ordinance No. 1100 be adopted.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Ordinance No. 1099, An
Ordinance Amending Code Of Ordinance Sections 98.13 and 98.15,
Relating to Events at the Cole Community Center Where Alcohol Is To
Be Allowed.
___________________________________________________________________
Over the past few years, we’ve had more and more citizens ask if they can
consume or serve alcohol at the Cole Community Center. When the rules for the
CCC were approved many years ago, alcohol was prohibited. However, we all
know alcohol is being consumed at functions and events even though the Rental
Agreement specifically prohibits such.
We thought this might be a subject to revisit, especially now that the voters have
approved alcohol inside the City Limits of Canyon. Dale, Chuck, and I have
discussed this, and we felt it would be appropriate to see if the Commission had
any interest in looking at this issue. We didn’t want to ask you about it without
having something you could see that would be in place if you felt it appropriate,
so Dale and Chuck have worked together to prepare Ordinance Number 1099 for
your review.
We are looking for guidance from you with regard to this matter. If you decide
that a change is appropriate, the Ordinance is here for your review, comment,
and/or action. If not, we won’t bring it up again.
