Mayor Hinders reported he had been in communication with Randall County and they changed the
amount to be approved for Brown Road services from Freese and Nichols from $130,000 to
$150,000. The widening of Brown Road crossing to accommodate a quiet zone was discussed with
Mayor Hinders stating he felt widening for the quiet zone would also benefit the future use of the
road as traffic increases over the years.
Mayor Pro-Tem Jones asked if Randall County was agreeable to the widening of Brown Road and
the quiet zone. City Attorney Chuck Hester said he had emailed Richard Gore with Randall County.
Commissioner Cranmer stated she thought it would be a good idea to do a study to find out the
average weight, size, and use of semi’s using Brown Road.

Commissioner Lyons responded no, he felt there were already too many rules and regulations and
we didn’t need to add anymore.

Main. Mr. Reese said the need for the force main replacement has been 20 years when the first 2
miles of line was replaced. Mr. Reese said luckily there haven’t been many breaks in the remaining
original line, but afraid breaks will begin happening soon.
Mr. Reese stated five (5) bids were received and opened on August 24, 2023 with the low bid
received from Amarillo Utility Contractors for $1,674,060.00 and a completion time of 200 days. Mr.
Reese stated only $1,450,000 was budgeted and stated the main reason for the overage is the
proposed additional cost of air release valve replacements adding almost $200,000. Mr. Reese said
the project will be funded through the federal ARPA funds that are currently in hand. Mr. Reese said
it was staff’s recommendation that the bid be awarded to Amarillo Utility Contractors for
$1,674,060.00.
Mayor Hinders asked where the extra $200,000 will come from adding he didn’t want the money to
come from reserves which are already on the low side. Director of Finance Joel Wright responded
the city could delay spending on other projects, but he agreed using reserves was off the table.
City Engineer Adolfo Garcia discussed how all the projects had some increases to their scope and
was one of the reasons for the increased costs, the Mayor and Commissioners asked if there was
projects that staff could assist with; wait on the release valves to lower the costs. Mr. Reese said
the valves could wait and he would attempt to budget them next budget year. Mayor Pro-Tem Jones
asked about the overages on Mayra Park. Mr. Garcia stated that moving the project to the east of
the road due to land acquisition issues on the west side caused some increase to the cost.
City Commission Meeting
September 18, 2023
Page 5 of 7
Commissioner Lyons said the City needed to put the air release valves on now since the cost to do
them will only increase in the future. Commissioner Lyons said he felt the extra funds should be
taken out of reserves. Mayor Hinders expressed concern that using reserves would cause the City
to fall below the City of Canyon’s reserve policy, which could drop the Cities bond rating.
Commissioner Lyons said he didn’t feel the bond rating mattered, to which Mayor Hinders disagreed.
Mayor Hinders asked if ARPA funds could be used to make up the difference and not depend on
reserves. Mr. Price stated that would get into the 4th Street tank project and that timing was very
important so as not to lose the ARPA funds.
City Manager stated staff would look for ways to cut the budget and possibly use sales tax revenue
to cover to overages.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Interlocal Agreement with PRPC for
Grant Management Services of Hazard Mitigation Grant Project “Master
Drainage Plan”
A few years ago, the City of Canyon submitted a grant application to Texas Department of
Emergency Management for a Hazard Mitigation Grant, specifically for a Master Drainage Plan
and Implementation of a Storm Water Utility.
The grant program is a 90/10 grant with 10%-dollar match from the City of Canyon. Similar to
the CDBG program.
The Master Drainage Plan project is currently in our Hazard Mitigation Plan and in the Canyon
Capital Improvement Plan; hence, it is in 2 of our existing plans.
Grant Project Application:
Project: Draft and Adopt an initial Master Drainage Plan (MDP)
Project Description: The City of Canyon continues to see flooding events that need to be
addressed with effective drainage measures and storm system. A master drainage plan addresses
the current and future drainage needs of our community. The boundary of the plan will follow
regional watershed limits. The proposed facilities may include channels, storm drains, levees,
basins, dams, wetlands or any other conveyance capable of economically relieving flooding
problems within the plan area. The plan includes an estimate of facility capacity, sizes and costs.
More detail will be given in the following areas:
• First, the plan will provide a guide for the orderly development of the City and outlying
areas for future growth areas (ETJ and other area) as it relates to drainage and the
watershed/stormshed.
• Second, the plan will do a study of the watershed/stormshed and the
watershed/stormshed areas. Special Emphasis will be planned more in depth for the
South and Southeast side of Canyon (SHFA and adjacent areas) and the
North/Northwest side of Canyon.,
• Third, the plan will provide a list of projects and an estimate of costs to resolve flooding
issues within a community. This will be in the form of a Capital Improvement Program
list, where project expenditures for each budget year will be identified.
• Finally, the plan will be used to establish Area Drainage Plan fees aka a Stormwater
Utility Fee for the community, which prevent existing taxpayers from having to
shoulder the burden of land development costs.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Bids Received for the 18” Force
Main Replacement Project; Serving the Wastewater Treatment and Irrigation
Facility.
This project has been in the works for quite some time, as it’s been over 20 years since we
completed the first two miles of the force main replacement to the WWTIF (Farm). We’ve
been very fortunate and have only experienced a couple of more breaks in this line since then.
The remaining old line is the last of the original installation from when the facility was
constructed around 1983. A sketch showing the project location is attached.
We received five bids, from our usual local utility contractors, which were opened on August
24.
As you can see in the attached tabulation sheet, the bids ranged from $ 1.674M to $ 2.577M.
The low bid for this project was submitted by Amarillo Utility Contractors in the amount of
$ 1,674,060.00. A contract completion time of 200 days was also bid. The estimate, in the
current budget, for this project was $ 1,450,000. The main reason for this additional cost was
for the addition of some air release valve replacement that wasn’t in the original plans. This
added almost $ 200,000 to the bid. This project will be funded with our federal ARPA funds
which were earmarked for water, sewer and broadband projects. These funds are currently in-
hand.
The bid tabulation sheet and award recommendation from the Engineer is also attached.
Staff recommends that the bid for the remaining force main replacement project, to the farm, be
awarded to Amarillo Utility Contractors, in the amount of $ 1,674,060.00.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Bids Received for Water and Sewer
System Extensions to Serve the Mayra Park Subdivision.
On August 31, we opened bids for the above referenced project.
This project is for the utility extensions from Hunsley Rd., north along FM 2590, to serve the
proposed subdivision. The sewer extension will have to come from the FM 2590 / Hunsley
Rd. intersection and the water will be extended from the northwest corner of the Madison Park
subdivision. These lines will terminate near the southeast corner of the subdivision. Also, in
order to have a second water source, a line will be installed from the southwest corner of the
Spring Canyon subdivision, which will tie in to the northeast corner of the new subdivision. A
sketch showing the project locations is attached.
This project received three bids, from our usual local utility contractors.
The low bid for this project was submitted by Scott Wampler Construction, in the amount of
$ 1,479,580.00. A contract completion time of 200 days was also bid. The original estimate
for this project was $ 1,051,000. As you can see, due to our current economy and prices, the
bid approximately 40% over the estimate. We contribute this to two factors. First, we’re
dealing with a year-old estimate and second, everyone is experiencing increased material and
labor costs. However, this project will include a cost share from the developer with their
portion being approximately $ 450,000.
A bid tabulation sheet and award recommendation from the Engineer is also attached.
Staff recommends that the Mayra Park Utility Extension Project bid be awarded to Scott
Wampler Construction, in the amount of $ 1,479,580.00.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Bids Received for the 12” Water
Main Relocation at Hunsley Road and FM 2590.
This is an unplanned project that came up as a result of the TxDOT, FM 2590 intersection
rehab and traffic signal project. Along with the addition of the traffic signals, TxDOT added
some storm sewer piping at the intersection that conflicted vertically, with the existing 12”
water line crossing that serves the Aztec subdivision. In other words, this is a project in which
we had no choice but to install.
We received five bids, which were opened on August 24, having the same bidders as for the
force main project to the farm.
As you can see in the attached tabulation sheet, the bids ranged from just under $ 124,000 to
a little over $ 233,000. The low bid for this project was submitted by Scott Wampler
Construction in the amount of $ 123,750.00. A contract completion time of 60 days was also
bid. Due to the unplanned nature of the project and TxDOT’s accelerated schedule, we had to
go straight to design and did not have a cost estimate to compare the bids to. It’s simply one of
those projects that has to be done. Unfortunately, without the time to plan or budget for the
project, funding will probably have to come from our fund balance.
The bid tabulation sheet and award recommendation from the Engineer is also attached.
Staff recommends that the bid for the 12” water line relocation at FM 2590 and Hunsley Road,
be awarded to Scott Wampler Construction, in the amount of $ 123,750.00.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
I move to award the bid for the 12” Water Main Relocation at FM 2590 and Hunsley Road
to Scott Wampler Construction in the amount of $ 123,750.00.

Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on authorization to commit to purchase
one police vehicle as budgeted for FY 2024.
For various reasons beyond the control of the city, vehicle purchases have been problematic for
the past three years. This problem is compounded with the influx of orders to the government
vehicle dealerships and up-fitting companies after the beginning of most government fiscal
years.
The police department budgeted and was approved for a Ford F150 Responder Police pickup.
The pickup will be equipped with all of the required police package equipment at Dana Fleet
Safety. The total amount budgeted and approved for the vehicle and the up-fitting is $70,394.00
to be paid out through the city’s self-funded lease program. The department has also budgeted
and been approved for a police radio for this vehicle. The budgeted amount for the radio is
$11,644.00.
The Police Department is requesting permission to commit to the purchase of the police vehicle
and police radio by ordering both items prior to the beginning of the 2024 Fiscal Year.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
“I make a motion to allow/not allow the Police Department to commit to the purchase of one
police vehicle and one police radio”.

Re: Presentation of the City of Canyon’s Strategic Communications Plan.
As part of the 2021 Strategic Plan, the Communications and Community Engagement (CCE)
department has developed the 2023 Strategic Communications Plan. This plan was developed
in collaboration with city staff during Megan Nelson’s certification through the Certified Public
Communicator (CPC) program at Texas Christian University.
The Strategic Communications Plan spans over four fiscal years, from FY2023-2024 to
FY2026-2027. The plan covers internal, external, and crisis communications. The CCE Director
will consistently update this plan as media and technology continue to change. The document
link below is a PDF version of the plan, which is also available on the City’s website.
