Fort Worth approves more pipelines and buys an SV1 Spartan Bomb Truck

by PegNews wire

The Fort Worth City Council is meeting again on Tuesday, this time in the a.m. (Again. Sheesh, it's like they have these things every week or something.) Highlights from the agenda are as follows:

• The meeting will start with a consideration of a High Impact Gas Well Pad Site Permit requested by, you guessed it, Chesapeake Energy. The site is right by Carter Park, and the public hearing will include a report by city staff, citizen presentations and then council action.
• This week the city is approving the funds to buy a microscope (and accessories - we love accessories) for the Police Department Crime Lab Forensics Unit, an SV1 Spartan Bomb Truck for the fire department (wow, a bomb truck!), and more radar guns for FWPD so watch your speed.
• As far as contracts being awarded, they will be authorizing a public right-of-way use agreement for a gas pipeline to cross multiple streets just south of Northeast Loop 820 and another across Ten Mile Bridge Road located West of its intersection with Boat Club Road. The pipelines and placement thereof have been quite the hot button issue lately.

Everything else is pretty much business as usual, you know running a city and whatnot. Until next week...
