To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
From: Joe Price, City Manager and Joel Wright, Finance Director
Date: June 7, 2021
Re: Presentation of Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
The City Annual Budget is one of the most important items that we do at the City of Canyon.
The City Staff live and breathe the budget every single day.
Last year, the City Staff took a big challenge to improve the budget and meet the National
Standard by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
This challenge was one of the big tasks that the organization has been tasked to do.
Through a team effort of the Directors, Supervisors and City Management and the leadership of
the City Commission, the City of Canyon has received the highest accolade that a City Budget
can receive.
According to GFOA, this award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting.
Its attainment represents a significant achievement by our organization.
The City of Canyon has never received this award and should be proud of this accomplishment.
Upon conclusion of this agenda item, the PIO will transmit a Press Release to the local media
outlets.
Attachments from GFOA on the scoring criteria for the City of Canyon Annual Budget.

Budget Review Narrative
Entity: City of Canyon, TX
Record No.: 300252513
Document No.: B9943581
Reviewer ID: V088
General Comments:
Thank you for submitting your budget document for GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award
consideration for the 2020-21 fiscal year. It was an absolute pleasure to read and analyze. I appreciated
the careful approach you took to presenting financial and operational information succinctly but
comprehensively. In my opinion a reader/user of this document will find useful information on the
priorities of the City of Canyon for the coming year and how it planned to deploy financial resources to
meet them. A wonderful communication device. Well done.
Areas of Emphasis:
1. The effort you put into departmental descriptions, objectives, and performance measurements
was impressive. I was particularly taken with your approach to identifying and describing your
unit goals and accomplishments. Performance metrics were, for some departments, not
necessarily performance metrics but correlated statistics or observations about the organization
or community but nonetheless conveyed important context to support the purpose and
function of those budget units.
2. Top marks on your charts and graphs. They were relevant, easy to understand, and helped to
make the hard numbers more digestible.
3. Departmental relationships to funds was a bit of a challenge to understand. A summary
schedule by fund outlining each department that draws resources from each budgeted fund
would be a useful element to include. It could also be accomplished during the departmental
presentation section using a schedule for each department outlining the funds that department
operates in or draws resources from.
4. Fund balance presentation was a little too unclear and generalized. You presented the City’s
overall fund balance position, but more detail is needed. Each budgeted fund should be
presented in a summary schedule noting the beginning fund balance, revenues, appropriations,
other financing sources and uses, and estimated ending fund balance. Such a schedule is
appropriately found in the summary section at the beginning of the document.
5. Your capital presentation was useful and clear. To strengthen it further consider developing and
including a five-year capital improvement program. This will provide decision makers an
understanding of the potential intermediate and long-term needs in capital that need to be
planned for in the near term.

pose a concern in the event of a wildfire encroaching upon the city.
The Fire Department has been working with the Texas A&M Forest Service to create a formal

Two major components to formally establish the working relationship is the signing of a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the organizations and the adoption of the
attached Resolution.
It is staff’s recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 30-2021
RECOMMENDED MOTION
I move to “adopt / deny” Resolution No. 30-2021 to support the development of a Community

community will reduce its risks from wildland fire; and
WHEREAS, a CWPP addresses structural ignitability, prioritizes hazardous fuels reduction efforts
on public and private lands and is developed collaboratively; and

manner in which hazardous fuels are reduced on lands in proximity to communities; and
WHEREAS, communities with a CWPP offer the best solution for communities at risk from
wildfire to mitigate said risks; and

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Bids Received for City of Canyon
Internet Service Provider Contract.
I have received three bids to renew/replace internet services for all city departments. We will
be replacing/or continuing ATT fiber internet at city hall and Suddenlink at the CAP, Parks,
PDC Golf, IT/Water, and the city hall backup. In addition to replacing the internet at the
mentioned sites, we will be adding connections at:
• Three Water towers – to support Public Works lift/pump stations.
• Kim Road – Backup internet, supports IT’s Desaster Recovery plan.
Some of the “pros” associated with upgrading internet circuits:
(1) Cost savings, we will be cutting our communication costs in half.
(2) Faster internet
(3) Easier to secure
(4) Easier to monitor
(5) More resilient network
I do not see any cons to upgrading
All internet traffic will come back through City Hall, enabling me to protect a single point of
entry. All server backups and failover internet will go to Kim road.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
We recived bids Thursday the 3rd of June so I will need additional time to contact references
and review bids. I will have a recommendation for the commission at Mondays meeting.

Canyon, Texas 79015
Dear Mr. Wright:
Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City of Canyon, Texas (the “City”) with this Primary
Depository Services Request for Applications (“RFA”) project.
The objective of this engagement was to solicit the area financial institutions for depository
services, evaluate RFA responses, and then select a primary depository institution prior to the
expiration of the current depository contract. The original depository contract term of five (5)
years allowed by statute expires on August 31, 2021. This contract, upon approval will commence
on September 1, 2021 and terminate on August 31, 2023, with three (3) additional one-year
extension options.
Procedure
The Primary Depository Bank Services RFA project began with the establishment of a Calendar
of Events to ensure that the required project steps were performed in a timely and sequential
manner.
The process for selecting a Primary Depository is governed by the State of Texas Local
Government Codes: Chapter 105 Municipal Depository Act; Chapter 176 Conflict of Interest Act;
Chapter 2256 Public Funds Investment Act; and Chapter 2257 Public Funds Collateral Act.
In addition to complying with these State statutory requirements, it was necessary to understand
and comply with the City’s financial and purchasing policies and Investment Policy.
The RFA project included the following steps:
1. Analyzed historical bank service usage and depository balance records.
2. Reviewed the minimum banking services and any potential additional services.

Wellington State Bank
9. No additional RFA requests were received as a result of the advertisement.
10. By the closing deadline, one (1) application was received from:

The evaluation of the application was based on, but not limited to, the following criteria, in no
particular order of priority:

ability to provide the depository services necessary to meet the City’s current and future service
needs.

Recommendation:

the evaluation of the application submitted by Happy State Bank, the staff recommends the City
Commissioners award the depository contract to Happy State Bank as it provides the most
advantageous terms to the City.
As the City’s consultants for this project, we concur with the City staff’s recommendation that the
City Commissioners award the Primary Depository Services contract to Happy State Bank.
