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.

SECTION 4: Severability. If any provision, section, subsection, clause, or the application of same to any person or set of circumstances for any reason is held to be unconstitutional, void or invalid or for any reason unenforceable, the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or the application thereby shall remain in effect, it being the intent of the City Commission of the City of Canyon, Texas in adopting this ordinance, that no portion thereof or provision continued herein shall become inoperative or fail by any reasons of the unconstitutionality of any other portion or provision.

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.

City of Canyon, Texas Gary Hinders, Mayor Attest: Gretchen Mercer, City Secretary 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.

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 Phone: 724-742-8028 Email: scott.mcguire@MSAsafety.com MSA G1 SCBA Pre-production images and information provided, production model may vary.

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! 7 www.MSAFire.com 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%. www.MSAFire.com
