City of Amarillo Special Advisor Floyd Hartman was presented with the prestigious Beelee Goodwin Public Administrator Award during the 2025 Panhandle Regional Planning Commission (PRPC) Annual Meeting last week at the historic Santa Fe Building Auditorium.

Hartman has 30 years of service and experience in local government, including 20 years with the City of Amarillo (COA) in various capacities. He previously announced his upcoming retirement, effective in January.

The Beelee Goodwin Public Administrator Award, established in 1992, honors the legacy of the late Beelee K. Goodwin, former City Manager of Friona. Previous winners of the award include the late John Ward, longtime city manager for the City of Amarillo.

“This is a tremendous honor, especially when you consider the impressive list of individuals who have won this award in the past,” Hartman said. “It is a privilege to have my name among them and to serve the citizens of Amarillo. This is certainly a highlight of my professional career.”

Hartman, Special Advisor to the COA Water and Sewer Utilities team, has long been regarded as an expert on local water issues, not only in Amarillo but across the Texas Panhandle. His extensive career with the city includes roles as assistant city manager and heading the Water Utilities Department and the Capital Projects & Development Engineering Department (CPDE).

“This is a well-earned honor for Floyd, whose expertise in water issues has been invaluable to the City of Amarillo for decades,” said COA City Manager Grayson Path. “His guidance and leadership have helped ensure a quality and abundant water source for Amarillo for future generations.”

In addition to his many positions with the city through the years, Hartman served as a municipal representative on the Region A Water Planning Group and as Water Utilities representative and chairman of the Region 1 Canadian-Upper Red Region 1 Flood Planning Group.
