provision of a safe, sanitized, socially distanced meeting and social environment
for citizens. (Staff monitor security cameras during business hours with motion
surveillance after hours.)

Continued networking and partnerships within local Colleyville businesses and civic
organizations helps the Center capitalize on the provision of cost effective
services as well as fuel the local Colleyville economy. Staff will continue to act as
conduits of communication for City Management as we provide community
outreach to local businesses during what is expected to be another tough,
pandemic influenced year. Currently, Center management has developed
relationships with local Colleyville businesses, securing discounts on catering
services, hotel shuttle services, linens, food, alcohol, floral, and lighting
packages for client events.

In addition, partnerships with Colleyville civic organizations like National Charity
League, Lion’s Club, Women’s Club and Garden Club will be leveraged to access
grants or cash donations. Funding will be used to update venue appliances,
purchase security cameras, or aesthetically improve the grounds with landscape
gardens.

civic organization meetings, business seminars, city department meetings,
and public events, the Center provides an informal, neutral place for fellowship,
community work, public discourse, and dissemination of public information.
