In December, council approved a resolution to publish a notice of cer- ti cates of obligation for $28 million to be funded over 15 years. The total price of the project is $30.9 million, with $1.2 million coming from water and wastewater funds and $1.6 million coming from to be determined funds, Rector told council.

Concrete batch plant faces local opposition Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and Dis- trict 10 council member Alan Blaylock sent a letter to the Texas Commission on Environ- mental Quality opposing the proposed air quality standard permit for a concrete batch plant at 13001 Old Denton Road. The details The letter, dated Jan. 26, noted several concerns that Blaylock and Parker have with the proposed facility’s permit application. They include: • Air emission worksheets were not pro- vided to the public or the TCEQ. • The application doesn’t provide the engineering details for the design. • The application doesn’t show an apart- ment complex near the proposed facility.
New ball elds are part of the renovation work planned at the Keller Sports Park.
