City of Southlake

Joint Utilization Committee

 

Purpose
In May of 1993, the City of Southlake and the Carroll Independent School District forged a partnership focusing on sharing assets and providing services to the taxpayers of Southlake in the most efficient way. This concept, known as "joint utilization," allows the two taxing entities to share services and/or facilities to the maximum extent possible, saving tax dollars in the process. Resolution Number 93-42, which established the JUC, charged the committee with the responsibility of exploring opportunities and methodologies of entering into joint use projects between the City and Carroll ISD.
