AGENDA ITEM 7 AGENDA
To: Joe Price, City Manager
From: Steven Brush, Chief of Police
Date: November 15, 2022
Re: Presentation of Lifesaving Awards to Canyon Police Department Corporal
Garrett Banes and Patrol Officer Jabril Hill for their Actions on October 13,
2022.
On October 13, 2022 Corporal Garrett Banes responded to a head-on vehicle crash on IH27 at
McCormick. Corporal Banes arrived near the same time as deputies from the Randall County
Sheriff’s Office. Officer Jabril Hill was off-duty and drove upon the crash scene at around the
same time the on-duty officers were arriving and assessing the situation.
One of the vehicles involved in the crash was on fire with the fire spreading to the passenger
compartment where the driver of the vehicle was unconscious in the seat. Corporal Banes,
Officer Hill and the deputies worked together to force entry into the vehicle, removing her from
the vehicle and carrying her away from danger.
The actions of these officers saved the life of the vehicle driver. Had the officers not taken the
action they did, an already tragic crash would have been worse.
The City of Canyon and the Canyon Police Department is publicly recognizing Corporal Banes
and Officer Hill with the presentation of a plaque and lifesaving medal in recognition of their
heroic actions.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
No action required on this item.

City of Canyon, Texas – Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone| October 2022
Section 1 – Project Plan
Overview
In November 2021, the City of Canyon, Texas (“City”) by ordinance (Number 2021-1147)
approved the creation of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone One ("TIRZ #1") consisting of
approximately 124 acres of land in the Downtown area. TIRZ #1 was created to fund a
portion of infrastructure and maintenance costs associated with redeveloping Downtown
Canyon. In 2022, Randall County (“County”) agreed to participate in TIRZ #1 through an
interlocal participation agreement. TIRZ #1 has a 25-year lifespan.
Purpose of a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone
A tax increment reinvestment zone (“TIRZ”) is a tool that local governments can use to
finance needed improvements and infrastructure within a defined geographic area. These
improvements usually are undertaken to promote the viability of existing businesses and to
attract new commercial enterprises. The cost of eligible improvements is repaid by the
contribution of future tax revenues by each taxing unit that levies taxes against the property.
The additional incremental tax revenue that is received from the affected properties is
referred to as the tax increment
Figure 1: How the Tax Increment is Calculated
City of Canyon, Texas – Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone| October 2022 1
Each taxing unit can choose to dedicate all, a portion, or none of the tax revenue that is
attributable to the increase in property values due to the improvements within TIRZ. Each
taxing unit determines what percentage of its tax increment, if any, it will commit to
repayment of the cost of financing the public improvements. The statutes governing tax
increment financing are located in Chapter 311 of the Tax Code.
Existing Tax Increment Financing Districts in the City of Canyon
There were no existing TIRZs in Canyon at the time of creation. According to state law, cities
with less than 100,000 residents may not create a new TIRZ if the total appraised value of
taxable real property in the proposed reinvestment zone and in the existing reinvestment
zones would exceed 50.0 percent of the total appraised value of taxable real property within
the city and its industrial districts. In addition, a TIRZ may not be created if more than 30.0
percent of the property in the proposed new TIRZ (excluding publicly-owned property) is
used for residential purposes at the time of designation. TIRZ #1 complies with these state
rules.
Purpose of this Document
This document is designed to meet the legal requirements of designating a TIRZ and to
provide guidance for the TIRZ Board that has been established to manage TIRZ #1. The
sections and subsections of this report correspond the required sections outlined in Chapter
311 of the Texas Tax Code.
Texas Tax Code allows the governing body of the municipality or county that designated the
TIRZ to amend the plan and extend the term of the zone after notice and hearing in the
manner provided for the designation of the zone. Any changes to this plan will need to be
documented and approved by the TIRZ Board and City of Canyon.

Section 2 – Project Plan
Description of the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1
TIRZ #1 covers approximately 124.3 acres (including roads and right of way). The 2021
baseline taxable property value of the TIRZ is approximately $19.6 million.

Section 3 – Revenue Forecast
Tax increment financing is a tool used by local governments to publicly finance needed
infrastructure and other improvements within a defined area. These improvements are
usually undertaken to promote the viability of existing businesses and to attract new
commercial enterprises to the area. The statutes governing tax increment financing are
located in Chapter 311 of the State of Texas Tax Code.
The costs of improvements in the defined zone are repaid by the contribution of future
property tax revenues by each taxing unit that levies taxes against the property. Specifically,
each taxing unit can choose to dedicate all, a portion, or none of the tax revenue that is
attributable to the increase in property values due to the improvements within the
reinvestment zone. The additional tax revenue that is received from the affected properties
is referred to as the tax increment. Each taxing unit determines what percentage of its tax
increment, if any, it will commit to repayment of the cost of financing the public
improvements.
Compliance & Reporting
The TIRZ Board policies shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws, rules and
regulations. The TIRZ Board will submit project status reports and financial reports as
required by state law.
Public Sector Entities Participating in TIRZ #1
All project costs will be paid through the contribution of incremental property taxes
collections. The City of Canyon and Randall County will contribute 100.0 percent of their total
tax rate (maintenance and operations (M&O) and interest and sinking (I&S) ad valorem tax
rate for 25 years.

Financial Forecast Assumptions
• TIRZ Duration – The TIRZ will have a 25-year lifespan.
• TIRZ Allocation – Participating taxing jurisdictions will contribute 100.0 percent of
their total incremental tax collections.
• Tax Rate – While tax rates do change over time, the 2022 tax rates were held
constant for the duration of the TIRZ.
• Existing Properties – The 2021 baseline property value of the TIRZ is approximately
$19.6 million but varies slightly by taxing jurisdiction based on exemptions offered.
• Real Property – Only taxable real property values are included in the tax increment
calculations. By law, business personal property values are excluded from TIRZ.
• Inflation & Appreciation Rate – The inflation rate used for construction costs and the
value of improvements is 2.5 percent per year.
• Net Present Value – The net present values of the tax increment were calculated at a
discount rate of 5.0 percent.
• Future Development Patters – To provide an order of magnitude estimate, TXP has
conservatively assumed $100,000 per year in new taxable real property value will be
built.

Financial Forecast Summary Results
The following table depicts the anticipated revenue generated over 25 years. The first TIRZ
increment will occur in 2022 (total 2022 value less 2021 baseline value). Note, 2022 taxes are
not due until January 2023.

City of Canyon, Texas – Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone| October 2022 9
Section 4 – Finance Plan
Project Overview & Costs
TIRZ #1 will provide support for catalytic infrastructure and economic development projects
that will facilitate the redevelopment of properties within Downtown Canyon and the
surrounding area.
Public infrastructure investment is required to redevelop the Downtown and surrounding
area. This is the priority spending focus of TIRZ #1. Additional infrastructure and
enhancement projects are included in the project plan if the resources are available. In
addition, other projects might be added to the list as future development projects and
related opportunities present themselves. The anticipated project costs are divided into
major categories. Based on the revenue forecast, it is anticipated that most these expenses
will occur within 3 to 5 years of the TIRZ being established.
Duration of the Zone
The total duration of TIRZ #1 is 25 years. The baseline year is 2021. It is scheduled to
terminate on December 31, 2046, (including collection of the 2046 increment in calendar
year 2047 and any related matters to be concluded in 2047).
Method of Financing Project Costs
All project costs will be paid through the contribution of incremental property taxes
collections. The City of Canyon and Randall County will contribute a portion of incremental
tax revenue to the zone.
Estimated Time when Related Costs or Monetary Obligations Incurred
The TIRZ will reimburse developers and pay for projects as funds become available. It might
also take the TIRZ multiple years to accrue funds required for a project or to repay a
developer.
Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
It is anticipated that financial transactions by the TIRZ are to be on a cash only basis and to
the extent only that funds are available. However, if the resources become available to issue
debt, the TIRZ #1 Board may recommend to the City of Canyon. that it is appropriate to issue
TIRZ debt if the Tax Increment Fund can make such payments. The TIRZ Board is under no
obligation to issue any notes or debt.
Economically Feasible
The TIRZ Board reviewed the TXP forecasts and model assumptions. It was determined that
the TIRZ would generate sufficient revenue to pay for the Project Plan. Therefore, the
City of Canyon, Texas – Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone| October 2022 10
financial forecasts are reasonable and its assumptions appear to be sound. The project plan
is economically feasible.
Implementation of the Project Plan
The Canyon City Commission at all times shall have and retain paramount authority to direct
the actions of the TIRZ #1 Board in connection with the administration of the Plans, and in
that regard the Board shall have only the powers and authority granted to it from time to
time by the City Commission.
Eligible Project Costs & Categories
1. Parks & Streetscape Enhancements
This category includes gateway features, linear parks, corridor landscaping, public plazas, etc.
2. Infrastructure Improvements
This category includes water, sanitary sewer and storm water improvements, roadway and
street intersection enhancements, public transportation, relocation of aboveground utilities,
public sidewalks, public safety facilitates, and related right of way. This category includes
eligible expenditures for design and engineering.
3. Economic Development Grants
It is anticipated that economic development loans or grants might be made to assist in
implementing the project plan. The City, with advisement from the TIRZ Board shall have the
authority to establish and administer economic development programs, including but not
limited to grants and loans, authorized under Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government
Code. Should such loans or grants be made, it will be done with the intent to fulfill the public
purposes of developing and diversifying the economy, eliminating unemployment or
underemployment, and developing or expanding transportation, business, and commercial
activity in the TIRZ.
4. Developer Reimbursement for Public Improvements
The TIRZ Board will seek to enter into agreements as necessary with other owners of
undeveloped property in the Zone for the repayment of costs associated with infrastructure
that benefit the Zone such as streets, water and sewer improvements, open space
improvements, landscaping, flood control, and any other public projects that benefit the
Zone. These projects will be evaluated and approved on a case-by-case basis.
A developer will typically apply for and be authorized by the TIRZ and City of Canyon for TIRZ
improvements, then fund and build the improvements. Upon completion and acceptance of
the work by the City, the developer will be reimbursed with TIRZ funds if and when they are
City of Canyon, Texas – Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone| October 2022 11
available. TIRZ payments are made based on available increment and other conditions set
forth in project development agreements.
Private developers must enter into a development agreement with the TIRZ if they desire the
public sector to share in the costs of infrastructure improvements required for their projects.
Reimbursement priorities and the method of apportioning available increment will be
described in the development agreement. Each development agreement is unique.
Accordingly, the nature and extent of support from the TIRZ may change over time as the
area becomes more developed.
5. Non-Project Costs
It is not possible to quantify other non-project costs at this time, other than to say that they
are anticipated. However, these costs should not exceed TIRZ #1 revenue less other costs
delineated in the project plan. Consultants, engineers, surveyors, and other costs incurred
not related to the other categories and other unforeseen costs are included in this category.
6. Administration & Implementation
The City will support the TIRZ administration with staff personnel. This support shall include
keeping and maintaining the records of the Zone, accounting services as the Zone Board may
request, and other administrative support. In addition, other eligible operations costs under
this project category would include contracting for professional services as requested by the
Board (ex. engineering firm, land planning, or other technical support). The administrative
operations and maintenance costs are estimated at $10,000 per year.
Future Eligible Projects
The TIRZ Board may deem other public improvements necessary for the development of the
TIRZ. If it is determined that additional public improvements are required, such
improvements will be incorporated as amendments to the Project Plan in accordance and
conformity with applicable law requiring the approval of the City Commission.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Chapman Forestry Foundation Grant
Acceptance and Update of Canyon Aqua Park (The CAP) 2022 Season.
Chapman Forestry Foundation
The Chapman Forestry Foundation awards grants for up to $2500 annually for the purchase and
planting of trees. In 2020 the City of Canyon Parks Department applied for a $2500 Chapman
grant to offset the cost of the new trees to be planted in Canyon East Park. The Department
completed the necessary paperwork and the tree project was inspected by Texas Forestry
personnel in late December.
In early November the City received a $2500 grant check from the Chapman Foundation. Our
department has received this grant on multiple occasions and will continue to apply for these
funds on an annual basis. These funds assisted in the purchasing of trees planted in Canyon
East Park this fall as a part of our renovation project in the park.
At this time staff would ask that you accept the $2500 grant check from the Chapman
Foundation.
Canyon Aqua Park (The CAP) Update
At the CAP we wrapped up our sixth season in August. This season was one of record revenues,
increased repair costs and staffing struggles.
We hosted over 41,000 guests, which was a record and an increase of 2680 from 2021. Average
daily attendance was 605 over the 69 days the park was open. Total revenue was $479,119,
which included $103,695 in concession sales. Season pass sales increased over $10,000 from
2021. We added five new 10x12 cabanas this year and rented them for $25 per session. The
cabanas included a table, four chairs and two loungers. Each cabana provides shade with side
curtains. The cabanas were very well received and were rented over 500 times this summer.
As the park ages we have proactively and also out of necessity, begun to make repairs to the
facility to maintain it. Prior to opening the park, the slides were caulked and their condition was
evaluated. Based on our findings, we have budgeted for professional repainting and
maintenance work to be performed on the slides in the Spring of 2023. Due to some caulk
failure we needed to make some repairs to the north wall of the kids play area. We chose to
make these caulk repairs immediately after closing the park instead of going through another
winter of damage caused by freezing and thawing. This repair work was unplanned, but was

approved and did cause the maintenance budget to be exceeded. One pool motor failed this
season and needed significant repairs.
Prior to opening for the 2023 season, we plan to replace all of the netting in the park and replace
a significant portion of the caulking in the concrete deck seams. This Spring we caulked the
slides and had an examination of the slide condition. We budgeted for repainting and
maintenance in this year’s budget. Included in our yearly maintenance this year we had some
wall repair and motor repair. The failure of the caulk allowed for freeze/thaw behind the north
wall of the kids play area. One of our motors had to be repaired after it failed.
We are planning on adding a few more features in our POS system this year and developing the
use of the online account usage by our season pass holders. This is in an effort to save the credit
card fees. We will once again offer a Black Friday sale this year.
