of the City of Canyon, Texas, Adopting a Procedure for Disannexation of
Property on Petition of Landowner Without Qualified Voter in the City of
Canyon and Providing for Severability and an Effective Date.
The City of Canyon has received a petition for disannexation from the corporate limits of
Canyon, TX. City Staff believes this petition is the first of its kind. State local government code
provides a method for disannexation of an area upon the petition of qualified voters in an area,
but does not specify a procedure for disannexation where there are no qualified voters.
However, it does provide for a home rule municipality to prescribe a procedure for
disannexation pursuant to authorization contained in the charter.
Given that the City of Canyon Charter authorizes the City Commission to establish and fix the
boundaries of and corporate limits of the City of Canyon pursuant to §2.01, §2.002 and §3.01.
The ordinance establishes a procedure consistent with State Law to consider and vote upon
disannexation requests by Landowners in areas where there are no qualified voters.
This procedure will City Staff and the Commission the ability to accommodate any future
requests of this type.

area upon the petition of qualified voters in the annexed area in Subchapter G of Chapter 43, but
does not specify a procedure for disannexation of an area where there are no qualified voters
residing in the area to be disannexed; however, it does provide for a home rule municipality to
prescribe a procedure for disannexation pursuant to authorization contained in the charter; and,
WHEREAS, the home rule charter of the City of Canyon authorizes the City Commission to
establish and fix the boundaries and corporate limits of the City of Canyon pursuant to §2.01,

GOVERNMENT CODE if the Petitioner elects to continue the disannexation
procedure.
SECTION 2:
In the event there is a single Landowner acting as Petitioner for disannexation, there is no

of the City Commission of the City of Canyon, Texas, Amending the Code of
Ordinances by Amending Chapter 9, “Planning and Development
Regulations,” to Add Article 9.04, “Extraterritorial Jurisdiction,” to Provide a

Clause; Providing That This Ordinance is Cumulative of All Ordinances;
Providing a Severability Clause; Providing for Publication; and Providing for

The City of Canyon has received a petition for release from the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
(ETJ) of Canyon, TX. With the passage of S.B. 2038, which provides for means and
methodology for release from the City’s ETJ, we expect this to be the first of many such
petitions. State local government code provides a method for release of an area upon the petition
for release by a resident or landowner. The bill also provides a timeline for approving the release
of property from the ETJ after the petition is filed with the City. This ordinance proposes
procedures for establishing a consistent review to determine the date a petition is filed.
Review requires time and effort from City Staff to:
• Review the petition for completeness (completeness check)
o Verify ownership, signatures authorization, accuracy of maps/property
description
• Prepare documents for City Commission Agenda
• Update maps to ensure accurate recordation of ETJ boundary
This ordinance proposes a fee of $500 for processing a petition for release from ETJ. The
proposed procedures will provide City Staff and Commission the ability to accommodate all
future requests of this type without delay, recouping the costs associated.

AGENDA ITEM 8 AGENDA
To: Joe Price, City Manager
From: Beau Boyer, Budget and Purchasing Manager & Dennis Gwyn, Fire Chief
Date: October 16, 2023
Re: Consider and Take Appropriate Action on the Purchase of Fire Department
SCBA and Related Equipment from Casco Industries Inc.
The useful life of a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is estimated to be about 15
years. The current SCBA units in use within the City’s Fire Department are 20 years old, and
the time has come to replace them. These units need to be replaced all at once, rather than
gradually over time, in order to reduce training and the risk of hesitation that could result when
two types of SCBA units are in use.
A key element in selecting proper SCBA equipment, beyond safety and functionality, is
interoperability with mutual aid partners. For example: if the City’s and Randall County’s fire
departments are responding to the same call and a piece of SCBA equipment is damaged and
malfunctions, the firefighter’s risk is reduced if the equipment used by both departments is
compatible (operate at the same level of air pressure) and if both departments are familiar with
the operation of the equipment. For this reason, in addition to comfort and user-friendly features,
the MSA G1 is the equipment selected by the Fire Department. This SCBA equipment used
locally used by Randall County, Amarillo, Lake Tanglewood, Bell Helicopter, Pan-Tex, and
Borger. Casco Industries Inc is the only authorized distributor of MSA equipment, therefor this
purchase is considered a Sole Source purchase.
Last fiscal year the City applied for a grant that would cover 90% of the cost of purchasing 30
SCBA units. The receipt of the grant revenue and the purchase of this equipment were budgeted
in that year. However, late in the year we received notification the grant was not awarded, and
the full purchase is not included in the current fiscal year budget. The total cost of the equipment
is $280,870 and there is $106,002 included in the current budget for Fire Fighting Equipment.
$174,868 of this purchase would need to be paid from reserves.
2023-24 Budgeted Fire Fighting Equipment $106,002
Casco Industries Inc Purchase ($280,870)
Amount to be paid from GF Reserves ($174,868)
It is the staff’s recommendation that the Commission authorize staff to purchase SCBA and
related equipment from Casco Industries, Inc. in the amount of $280,870.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
I move to authorize/not authorize the City staff to purchase SCBA and related equipment
from Casco Industries, Inc. in the amount of $280,870.

Canyon Fire Department
301 16th Street
Canyon, TX 79015
Crockett Fire Department
Dear Chief Dennis Gwyn:
Thank you, Canyon Fire Department for your interest in the MSA product line.
This letter confirms that Casco Industries Inc is the sole authorized distributor of
MSA SCBA and SCBA accessories for the Municipal Fire Service Market for the
State of Texas.
By way of background, in the fire service / first responder markets, MSA imposes
specific requirements upon our distributors, which can result in a small number of
distributors authorized to call upon a particular region. We impose these
requirements because the equipment we manufacture and sell requires the
involvement of partners with special knowledge, training and experience.
Accordingly, MSA’s distributors are obligated to acquire and maintain extensive
knowledge, training, and experience necessary to properly educate, assist and
service our end user customers before, during and after the sale. MSA’s fire service /
first responder distributor qualification requirements are likewise intended to ensure
the highest possible end user customer experience.
If you desire additional information about MSA, its product lines, or channel partners,
please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your interest in our products.
Sincerely,
Scott McGuire
North American Sales Channels Specialist

MSA G1 SCBA Components
About FACE.
The G1 Facepiece was designed without electronic components, to
minimize weight, reduce your stress and fatigue and improve your
overall performance level. This design also means that there are no
electronic components on the outside of the facepiece that may
result in snag and entanglement hazards. What’s more, by
eliminating costly electronic components, the price is reduced
substantially, allowing personal-issue facepieces to be a cost
effective measure. As an added bonus, the facepiece is equipped
with cross-contamination prevention to reduce the spread of
illness when facepieces are shared. But MSA didn’t stop there. The
MSA G1 SCBA is also equipped with a speaking diaphragm to
increase speech clarity while off air.
The new G1 Facepiece is not only lightweight and compact with
overall low profile design, it’s comfortable and built to last. Taking
the preferred design features of the Ultra Elite Facepiece, including
wide field of view and comfortable, robust seal geometry, we’ve
taken the MSA G1 SCBA to the next level with an open port to
provide low breathing resistance, both on and off air.
The G1 Facepiece can help you to conserve energy for when you
need it most.
Be Heard.
Electronic Voice Amplification Shouldn’t Be Optional.
Every MSA G1 SCBA is equipped with electronic voice amplification
because high quality fireground communications shouldn't be
optional. With patent-pending design, dual microphones
integrated into the regulator eliminate the Darth Vader-like
inhalation sound. This unique feature automatically activates and
shuts down with the unit. Shoulder strap-mounted speaker
module provides loud and clear communications from the
regulator microphone while maintaining low profile to aid in
reducing snag points. Every MSA G1 SCBA is equipped with this
cutting edge technology.
MSA G1 SCBA Components
Designed to fit YOUR needs.
Cutting edge technology. The MSA G1 SCBA has been designed
to meet and exceed your demands, providing more functionality
than ever before. The G1 Control Module has both analog and color
digital LCD displays, making certain that your status is available at
all times. Auto-start motion control mechanism built into the
control module intuitively provides the information you need
when you need it. Adding yet another layer to ease-of-use: no
matter which button is pressed, your information displays.
Highly configurable and customizable. The MSA G1 SCBA’s user
selectable configurations are an industry first: pressure; time
remaining calculation; breathing time; temperature (the ability to
set your own temperature alarm); and pressure drop (to alert you
to leaks, either primary or secondary). What’s more, the control
module and HUD can be programmed to display information
required by your particular specification. But best of all, electronics
can be adjusted to the way YOU want. The MSA G1 SCBA provides
the ability to configure this device to follow any standard operating
procedure, with alarm settings, lights and information provided on
the control module. The MSA G1 SCBA…designed for the flexibility
you need!
Heads up.
Internal HUD display. No facepiece electronics? It’s not only
possible, it’s here. By placing electronics that power the Heads Up
Display within the regulator, MSA has effectively reduced weight,
profile, pairing, and cross talk. The HUD is inside the facepiece, so
external contaminants cannot block the view and vital displayed
relayed information. This new design means that you no longer
have to buy HUDs for each facepiece, reducing costs and
maintenance. By using revolutionary light pipes, the MSA G1 SCBA
heads up display is clear and simple to understand; it’s a HUD
system made easy!

MSA G1 SCBA Components
Always in Demand.
G1 Mask-Mounted Regulator. The G1 Regulator houses easy-to-
operate heads up display and communications, yet is the smallest
and lightest regulator available. The G1 Regulator has an optional
purge cover that can be used to start air flow during emergency
situations. The G1 Regulator can also be shut off and removed from
the mask with one simple action!
The G1 Regulator is always in DEMAND!
Finally, an SCBA where one size really can fit all.
Ergonomics. The MSA G1 SCBA is the only SCBA on the market
that offers harness customization to ensure improved comfort,
balance and fit. By providing an adjustable lumbar pad, you can
have a tailored unit with up/down and pivot capabilities that can
actually move with you. Widened, adjustable shoulder straps
enhance weight distribution and comfort. Through use of
interlocking shoulder straps and strategically placed friction pads,
the MSA G1 SCBA provides increased fit and
stability while allowing for easy donning
and doffing. The G1 Control Module,
G1 Regulator and G1 Speaker Module
can be configured on either
shoulder, easily integrating
into any standard operating
procedure.
MSA G1 SCBA Components
The Power of One.
Central Power System. With only one centralized power source,
you can use either alkaline or an industry first rechargeable
battery. As the ONLY manufacturer to offer rechargeable batteries,
we’ve taken SCBA protection to a whole new level — finally, an
SCBA that doesn’t require multiple battery sizes! No need to
manage battery types, compartments and change-outs, resulting
in lower cost of ownership.
Make a Connection.
Pressure Reducer. Designed to work with quick connect or
CGA threaded cylinders, there’s a connection to meet your need.
Adding to this flexibility are available direct and remote quick-
connect attachment options to enable effortless cylinder
change-outs. Pressure reducer accessory ports allow for future
upgrades, including the high pressure Quick Fill® System.
The MSA G1 SCBA is available in both quick-connect and threaded-
connection options. With minimal parts, you can easily upgrade
from one option to the other! All in all, this unit provides each user
with many choices, all of which result in lower cost of ownership.
When Air is Low, Seconds Matter.
Universal Air Connection (UAC). When air is low and you must
access the UAC for emergency purposes, seconds matter. That’s
why MSA invented the patent-pending RIT light to shine a bright
white LED on the UAC connection, making it easier to find and 9
connect to a rescue air source. The primary UAC illuminates when
End of Service Time Indicator (EOSTI) reaches 35%.
