MEMORANDUM
June 14, 1996
TO: Curtis E. Hawk, City Manager
FROM: Sean S. Leonard, C -G -S Teen Court Coordinator
SUBJECT: Resolution 96-37, Appointments to Teen Court.
On September 1, 1994, the cities of Colleyville, Grapevine, and Southlake along with the Carroll
and Colleyville/Grapevine Independent School Districts entered into an agreement to create the
Colleyville-Grapevine-Southlake Teen Court program. This joint venture began the process
through which juvenile misdemeanor offenders are offered an alternative to the criminal justice
system while allowing them the opportunity to assume responsibility for their own actions.
Through the Teen Court process, each teen is brought before a jury of their peers where they are
sentenced to perform community service hours, jury terms, and other assigned projects that
directly or indirectly benefit the communities of Colleyville, Grapevine and Southlake. This all
in an effort to promote a healthier attitude towards authority, encourage a sense of responsibility
and community awareness among teens, and reduce the likelihood of repeat offenders.
As detailed in the Interlocal Agreement (attachment A), The Colleyville-Grapevine-Southlake
Teen Court Advisory Board is comprised of ten (10) members; two (2) members appointed from
each participating city and two (2) members appointed from each participating School District,
as each so chooses. The purpose of the CGS Teen Court Advisory Board is to advise the City
Councils and their staff on the operation of the Teen Court Program and to assist in the
development of community resources for the purpose of advancing the Teen Court Program.
A primary goal of the board is also to voice the concerns of the community and provide an
objective criticism regarding the Teen Court program. Objectives include: enhancing public
relations; assisting with the location and development of new community placement sites and
opportunities; assisting with the recruitment, retention, and recognition of volunteers; and a desire
to increase the visibility of the CGS Teen Court Program.
Attached is Resolution 96-37, a resolution of the City Council of Southlake, Texas appointing
members to the C -G -S Teen Court Advisory Board for a one (1) year term.
