REGARDING ITEM 7
To: Jon Behrens, Interim City Manager
From: Danny Cornelius, Director of Planning and Development
Date: July 10, 2019
Re: Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider and Take Appropriate Action on
Ordinance No. 1108 to Rezone the Proposed Canyon East Unit No. 7 to
PD (Planned Development District) from RC-1 (Retail District).
Mike Standefer of Fortress Construction, LLC recently submitted a plat for Canyon East Unit
No. 7 and an application for a change in zoning. The property currently platted as 1 lot and
zoned RC-1 (Retail District). Mr. Standefer plans to build single-family homes with a zero-
building setback line on one side yard and a 10’ side yard on the other. The 10’ side yard will
include a 5’ roof overhead, private building maintenance, and drainage easement. The
proposed front yard setbacks are 20’. The rear yard setbacks are 20’ for the south lots and 25’
for the north lots adjacent to Hwy 217.
We will need to hold a public hearing and take action on the zoning change before the plat can
be considered.
Letters were sent to 16 property owners within 200 feet. We received 4 responses with 1 being
in favor of the request and 3 opposed.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the zoning request.

Re: Update on the 2019 Legislative Session Along With Bill Approved that

As you know, the 2019 Legislative session recently wrapped up. Bills were signed into law on

REGARDING ITEM 10 AGENDA
To: Jon Behrens, Interim City Manager
From: Chris Sharp, Director of Finance
Date: July 22, 2019
Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Agreement Amendment for
Communication Services Provided by Randall County
Randall County has always provided the City of Canyon’s dispatch services. After reviewing
the last agreement signed in 2007, it was agreed upon by both the City and Randall County
that clarification needs to be made with the term “operational costs”. The City Attorney and I
have reviewed the agreement and changed the definition of operational costs to exclude capital
expenditures unless agreed upon by both the City and County. This will help keep the cost of
our agreement down since we will not have to pay for capital expenditures unless we’ve agreed
to.
It is staff’s recommendation that the Commission approve the updated Communication
Services Agreement with Randall County.

REGARDING ITEM 11 AGENDA
To: Jon Behrens, Interim City Manager
From: Chris Sharp, Director of Finance
Date: July 22, 2019
Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Agreement Amendment for Fire
Services Provided by the City of Canyon for Randall County
The City of Canyon’s Fire Department provides mutual aid services for Randall County. Our
current agreement states that Randall County will pay a percentage of the city’s operational
costs for us providing that services. After reviewing agreement and discussing with Randall
County, clarification needs to be made to the term “operational costs”. I have met with our City
Attorney and we have clarified the definition of “operational costs” to exclude capital
expenditures unless agreed upon by both the City and Randall County. This will help to keep
the cost down for Randall County, but will provide a way for them to share in the costs of capital
expenditures in the event we need to purchase something in order to provide the service.
It is staff’s recommendation that the Commission approve the updated Fire Services
Agreement with Randall County.

AGENDA
REGARDING ITEM 15
To: Jon Behrens, Interim City Manager
From: Chris Sharp, Assistant City Manager
Date: July 9, 2019
Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Taking Record Vote on Proposed
Tax Rate, and Adopt Budget Calendar Setting Dates for Public Hearing
Truth-in-Taxation requirements call for a vote to place a proposal to adopt a tax rate that
exceeds the lower of the effective rate or the rollback rate, whichever is lower, on the agenda
of a future meeting as an action item. The Commission must take a recorded vote on the
proposed tax rate. The City’s current tax rate is $.39083 per $100 valuation. The 2019
effective and rollback tax rates are not known at this time. We are awaiting final numbers
from the County. We have conservatively estimated our maximum rate for M&O to be .4200.
The current M&O proposed rate of $.39083 per $100 valuation exceeds the lower of these
two rates requiring a record vote. The I&S rate of .0596 is the tax rate that must be adopted.
Combining the M&O and I&S results in a combined tax rate of 0.45043. With this agenda
item, the Commission must vote on the proposed tax rate and schedule two public hearings
on the proposed rate. The proposed maximum tax rate set by this vote cannot be increased.
It becomes the maximum tax rate that can be adopted.
This amount will give us some flexibility to go down if needed for the official rate but does not
tie our hands to an amount that maybe to low if you should choose to vote for a lower rate.
It is staff’s recommendation that a recorded vote be taken on the proposed tax rate
and for the Commission to adopt the budget calendar setting dates for two public
hearings.
Motion should be stated in the following manner;
Motion to adopt $0.4200 as the maximum M&O proposed tax rate.
Motion to adopt $0.0596 as the maximum I&S proposed tax rate.
Mayor and each Commissioner will verbally vote yay or nay to be recorded.
• Motion to adopt the budget calendar setting the dates for two public hearings.
First public hearing – August 5th, 4:30 in Commission Chambers
Second public hearing – August 19th, 4:30 in Commission Chambers
