After a video surfaced on social media in late 2018 showing local teens chanting racist words, Mayor Hill began a conversation with local students about ways to make meaningful change in Southlake. Shortly after, at the December 4, 2018, City Council meeting, the Council gave unanimous approval to create the Mayor’s Alliance for Unity and Culture. (Resolution 18-050, Resolution 18-050A)
The Alliance’s purpose is to act in an advisory capacity to the City Council and city staff in the planning and implementation of programs and activities involving diversity, inclusion, and equality for all City residents.
City Council made the first appointments to the Mayor’s Alliance in early 2019. The inaugural members quickly worked to develop a strategic framework and goals to operate under, which was approved by City Council through Resolution 19-016. The full strategy and operating guidelines can be found in the resolution, below are key highlights.
