participating entities as follows:
Grapevine $18,270

The operating budget includes supplies and training materials plus a full-time administrator
and a part-time clerk. Also included in this budget is a $10.00 per offense fee collected
from participants and used for special projects (e.g., additional marketing materials,
equipment, etc.) throughout the year.

willingness to continue funding Teen Court were Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake.
Southlake has agreed to provide office space and administrative services for the Teen
Court Coordinator. The FY 2003 operating budget has been adjusted accordingly (copy
