ICITY OF
SOUTHLAKE
MEMORANDUM
October 15, 2013
TO: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
FROM: Chris Tribble, Director of Community Services
SUBJECT: Approve Facilities Utilization Agreement with Southlake
Baseball Association
Action Requested: City Council approval of the Facilities Utilization Agreement
(FUA) with Southlake Baseball Association (SBA) for 2014-
15.
Background
Information: The City of Southlake coordinates with various youth sports
associations to offer a variety of athletic programs in an
arrangement referred to as a facilities utilization agreement
(FUA). A separate agreement is held with each of the youth
athletic organizations participating in the use of City -owned
fields and facilities.
The agreement is composed of two parts — the Facility
Utilization Agreement section that guides all youth sports
associations' use of City facilities in general, and the
Appendix section, which addresses the specific needs and
usage for the individual association.
The proposed FUA with SBA contains essentially the same
provisions as the previous agreement entered into with SBA
for 2012-2013, with the exception of revisions made to the
Appendix regarding league tournaments. Regular spring and
fall recreation season league tournaments may continue as
usual; however, the Association is no longer permitted to
collect entry/registration fees or admission or "gate" fees for
tournaments that are not the regular recreation seasonal
league tournaments. Management of tournaments not
considered regular seasonal recreation league tournaments
will be handled by the City.
Since 2012, the City and CISD have handled specific field
allocations on a season -by -season basis for all Southlake
athletic associations.
