III.Athletic Field Allocations
With the development of the park systemand significant recent investments in artificial turfand
other amenities, the City Council has made it a priority to ensure a full rangeof athletic
opportunities are available to Southlake citizens.
The City directly manages several year-round athletic programs in-house, but also partnerswith
local, volunteer managed athletic associations to offer several other year-round athletic programs.
These partnerships are authorized by the City Council through a Parks Facility Utilization
Agreement (FUA).
An FUA is an agreement between the City and an athletic association that desires to lease the
enjoyment of Southlake residents and the general public.
The City Councildetermines who the City will lease its athletic facilities to, and will make final
The following is a guideline and list of criteria developed by the City Council to assist them in
making their determination when considering the eligibility of a potential FUA partner. The
following criteria are intended as policy guidance fortheCity and do not obligate the Cityto
approve, renew, or continue any particular FUA.
The City will authorize only one FUA per sport except in the case where there is a gender
specific designation with the sport.
Clubs, academies, select programs, independent teams, etc., will not be consideredas
FUA partners.
By signing the FUA, the program certifies that it meets these qualificationsand can provide
detailed records of all of the below upon request.

indecency with a child, possession or promotion of child sexual abuse material, or any
substantially similar offense, or is otherwise prohibited by law, court order, parole
condition, probation condition, or other governmental restriction from being in or near
places where children commonly gather.

easily identify,at all times, the persons who have passed a background check and are
permitted to serve in a covered role.

or determines that additional review is necessary for participant safety, public safety, or

to an immediate safety concern. The City may require records to be provided in summary form,
certification form, or through an on-site review. Programs should not submit full criminal history
reports or sensitive personal identifiers unless specifically requested by the City Attorney or
otherwise required by law.
