TABLE OF CONTENTS

Once operational, the new facility will be supported long-term through the Facility Maintenance Fund in
partnership with the Utility Fund, recognizing the shared use of the space by Southlake Water Utilities.
As the building is incorporated into the City’s facility inventory, its value and maintenance needs will
be reflected in future fund balance targets and reserve planning. This project is a clear example of the
City’s commitment to building responsibly, planning ahead, and ensuring operational readiness through
strategic reinvestment. Budget Overview

The Facility Maintenance Fund is a critical component of the City’s broader financial sustainability
strategy. By planning for major maintenance needs through disciplined reserve practices, the City
avoids large, unexpected financial impacts and preserves operating flexibility across fiscal years. As
Southlake’s facility portfolio grows—with the upcoming addition of the Municipal Service Center and
other potential future investments—this fund will continue to play a vital role in supporting long-term
infrastructure stewardship. Ongoing updates to the City’s multi-year financial plan will ensure that
future maintenance obligations are anticipated and appropriately resourced, reinforcing the City’s
commitment to responsible financial management
and exceptional service delivery.
