year agreements with two (2) automatic one (1) year
renewals, requiring 30 day written notice by either party

comparable action that the City Council has taken on the
recently approved, new Community Services
Agreements.
2. The maintenance fee for Select/Academy participants be
set as per the Recommended Maintenance Fees table
above.
3. Add the following specific wording to the agreements

with the City regarding the City's efforts to
also make such facilities available on an equitable
basis to any other entity(ies) deemed suitable by the City
that also legitimately seek to have some use of the
facilities."

Subject: FUA Workshop Summary
Mayor Pro Tem Hill and Council Member Zito -
I want to first say thank you for your assistance with the FUA Workshop Monday evening. I felt it was a successful
discussion that will prove very beneficial as we move forward with the continued development of the partnership between
the City and the Athletic Associations.
I want to confirm that you both agree with following Staff summary of the results from the meeting:
1. Field Allocations — Staff will continue to coordinate field allocations with the Athletic Associations in support of
their endeavor to provide their respective athletic program services to the citizens of Southlake as follows:
a. SGSA at Bob Jones Park Softball Complex
b. SBA at Bicentennial Park Baseball Complex, Southlake Sports Complex and Koalaty Park
c. GSSA at Bob Jones Park Soccer Complex
d. SCLA at Southlake Sports Complex and the new North Park when complete
e. DYF at Bob Jones Park Amphitheatre area (a practice area only)
2. Maintenance Fees — A maintenance fee will be charged to each Athletic Association as follows:
a. Residents = $12.00 per player, per season (no change)
b. Non- Residents = $17.00 per player, per season (new)
NOTE — Resident is defined as a resident paying City of Southlake property taxes
3. Tournaments and Tournament Fees — Staff will continue to coordinate tournament schedules with the Athletic
Associations. The consensus was that no fees will be charged for tournaments. It was determined that
sponsorships are a much more viable option of assisting with offsetting the City's costs of providing and
maintaining parks and athletic fields. Staff, working with the Parks Board and the representatives from each
Athletic Association appointed to the Parks Marketing Committee, will form a recommendation on a Parks
Marketing /Sponsorship Policy during FY 2011 that will be forwarded to the Parks Board and the City Council for
their consideration.
4. Resident Participation —It was agreed that all residents of Southlake, as well as C.I.S.D. students, will continue to
have the opportunity, at all levels of ability, to participate in the athletic program established for their individual
skill level. As an integral part of this goal, no Southlake resident, who registers by the registration deadline,
should be turned away from participating on a team.
5. "Tweener" Participation — It was agreed that the Athletic Associations will endeavor to develop "tweener"
leagues where possible.
6. Field Rentals — It was determined that the City will not rent athletic fields to teams that do not participate in either
the City's athletic programs or the Athletic Association's programs. The City will continue to rent athletic fields
to Southlake residents for individual /family usage, and to Southlake non - profits and Southlake businesses for
church/company softball games /tournaments, etc., as deemed appropriate by the Director of Community
Services. Staff will continue to coordinate the scheduling of all athletic field rentals with the Athletic
Associations.
Please let me know if you have any questions about or modifications to the summary.
