Fort Worth officials discussed the future of a new landfill for the city and the launch of an illegal gunfire campaign during the April 7 work session.

The meeting also included a glance at budget forecasts for upcoming fiscal years, according to previous reporting.

Zooming in: Environmental Services Director Cody Whittenburg provided an update on the planning process as the city looks for options to replace its Southeast Landfill. He said the end of the useful life is in 2036, and until then, increasing diversion from the landfill will be a guiding principle.

He said the city has received a $4.8 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 

What else? Police Chief Eddie Garcia and Sana Syed, the city of Fort Worth’s chief communications officer, talked about the launch of an illegal gunfire campaign.

The consequence of illegal gunfire is up to $4,000 in fines and a year in jail. Garcia also noted the importance of locking vehicles, since many stolen gun reports are from unlocked vehicles.

Nearly eight months after a Democratic walkout over congressional redistricting, a GOP-led Texas House committee moved to charge 52 of their Democratic colleagues up to $8,354.25 each in fines.

What happened: After six hours behind closed doors, the House Administration Committee approved the fines in a brief public session April 10. The panel's six Republicans voted to impose the fines, while the five Democrats voted against them.

The background: Over 50 House Democrats left the state in early August to fight a plan to redraw Texas’ congressional boundaries. They remained out of Texas for two weeks, impeding the progress of legislation during two special legislative sessions, although the congressional map and more than a dozen other bills ultimately passed after the Democrats returned to Austin.

Something to note: The fines were reduced by $1,000 per person to reflect two days when the House was not in session, lawmakers said. Some Democrats were also charged lower amounts because they did not participate in the full two-week walkout or their absences were partially excused.
