TO: Southlake Arts Council
FROM: Milenka Lopez, Assistant to the Director
SUBJECT: Recommendation on renewal of Community Services
Agreement with APEX Arts League for the term October 1, 2021
— September 30, 2024
Action Requested: Southlake Arts Council recommendation on the renewal of
the Community Services Agreement with APEX Arts League
for the term October 1, 2021 — September 30, 2024.
Background
Information: The City works with non-profit community organizations such
as APEX to provide important social, educational, economic
and cultural programs and services to Southlake citizens and
businesses. Having a Community Services Agreement in
place allows for these services to be provided without the City
having to fund additional personnel and capital investments,
as well as the ongoing administrative and operational
expenses that would be required to provide these services to
the community.
The renewal agreement with APEX is for a three-year period,
October 1, 2021 - September 30, 2024. APEX will schedule
twelve (12) professional programs or events featuring local
talent at minimal or no cost to the public between October 1st
and September annually, during the term of the agreement.
Other community services to be provided or promoted by
APEX include at least three (3) educational programs in the
arts for all ages and at least three (3) programs or events with
a community arts component including, but not limited to, the
display of public art.
The proposed agreement mirrors their previous agreement
with the exception of the following changes:

Financial
Considerations
• Change the reporting requirement to an annual report
with a detailed budget sheet at the end of each fiscal
year, instead of an annual report at the end of each
calendar year.
• Remove the City's requirement to publish information

Experience Southlake Magazine, as the magazine is
no longer published.
In consideration for the services rendered by APEX on behalf
of Southlake citizens, the City agrees to an annual payment
of $6,000 to APEX which will be dispersed by November 1st
of each year. In addition, $3,000 will be budgeted annually in
the Public Art Fund for cultural arts programming. Final
payment amount is subject to City Council authorization.
A copy of the Community Services Agreement, detailing the
organization's scope of services and the City's obligations,
and highlighting the proposed changes is attached.
Funding for the Community Services Agreement is included
in the proposed FY 2022 annual budget and will also be
included in subsequent budget proposals for FY 2023 and FY
2024 as required by the term of the agreement.
Strategic Link: This item is linked to the City's Strategy Map through the
following strategic objectives: promote opportunities for
partnerships and volunteer involvement and collaborate with
select partners to implement service solutions.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: APEX has reviewed the proposed agreement and been
notified of the board and city council approval process.
Southlake Arts Council recommendation August 24, 2021
City Council consideration September 7, 2021

Northeast to develop the proposed performances.
