        The half-cent sales tax collection to fund the Crime
        Control and Prevention District (CCPD) began in                       Upgraded
        April 1998, with the first sales tax check received in                cradlepoints and
        June 1998. State law provides that a district’s life is               antennas for         $77,059
        limited to five years unless voters continue the district             patrol vehicles
        by approval of a referendum. In February 2002,
        Southlake voters approved the continuation of the
        CCPD for 15 years, and the district was set to sunset in 2018 unless reauthorized by the voters.

        In May 2015, Southlake voters chose to reallocate a three-eighths cent portion from the CCPD to the
        formation of a sales tax district to fund recreational and economic development projects. Approval of the
        new district provided the funding needed to construct and support operations of the new community and
        recreation center, The Marq Southlake. This left a one-eighth cent allocation remaining for CCPD activities
        through the new sunset period, 2038, as authorized by the voters in May 2017.
