INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
CITY OF COLLEYVILLE, CITY OF GRAPEVINE, AND CITY OF SOUTHLAKE
This Contract and Agreement, entered into the 1st day of October 2007, by and between the
City of Colleyville, the City of Grapevine, and the City of Southlake, municipal corporations
herein called "Cities" or "each participating City," the parties acting herein under the authority
and pursuant to the terms of Chapter 791, INTERLOCAL COOPERATION CONTRACTS,
Texas Government Code, WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, the City Councils of the Cities of Colleyville, Grapevine, and Southlake
jointly find that it will be in the public interest to enter into this agreement for the purposes set
out herein below,
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed between each participating City that:
1. Teen Court is a volunteer program which allows juvenile misdemeanor
offenders an alternative to the criminal justice system while allowing them also to assume
responsibility for their own actions by involvement in the judicial process and community
services in order that their offenses will not be recorded; bringing juvenile offenders to a jury
of their peers and to the community for constructive punishment will provide the youths with
an understanding of the judicial system and a realization of their roles in the community.
2. The community will benefit from this interaction in that, through Teen Court,
the community is afforded a unique opportunity to become involved in the education of
juvenile offenders, as well as juvenile volunteers. Teens, through their active involvement, are
afforded a way to learn how our system of justice works and to realize their roles in the
community.
