partnership would be properly aligned with the City's strategy since a
partnership of this kind brings together community groups and the City to
offer high quality events that promote the City.
2. Safety and Security: The strategy map includes a focus area of"Safety and
security." This, coupled with the objective of"Collaborate with select
partners to implement service solutions" addresses the matter of the City's
fundamental obligation to ensure that residents and visitors of Southlake are
safe and secure, whatever their activity. If we develop a successful
partnership with these community groups, coordinate our efforts, and,
perhaps, share the costs, the City has ultimately met this stated strategic
objective.
