Action
Requested: Consider 1st Reading approval of Ordinance No. 1023-A, amending Chapter 10
"Health and Sanitation" Article VI "Public Swimming Pool and Spas" of the City
of Southlake Ordinances
Background
Information: Tarrant County provides food establishment and public swimming pool and spa
inspection program services for several cities in the county, including the City of
Southlake. Tarrant County provides these services through an Interlocal
Agreement, as authorized in Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code.
Southlake's current Interlocal Agreement with Tarrant County was executed in
1996, and the County is now requesting approval of an updated ILA to reflect
changing fees and regulatory requirements (see Item 4T). The updated ILA
establishes city responsibilities, including the adoption of selected chapters of the
Texas Health and Safety Code and Texas Administrative Code, which
necessitates the updating of Southlake's Ordinance No. 1023 pertaining to public
swimming pools and spas. A red -lined version of Ordinance No. 1023-A is
included in this packet for review.
Financial
Considerations: None. Health permit fees are paid by permit applicants directly to Tarrant County
Public Health. These fees fully fund program costs.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Due to the limited scope of this request, this item was not presented to SPIN or
the Corridor Planning Committee.
