Callahan County OKs road-use agreement with Energy Transfer for Hugh Brinson pipeline, requires $5 million performance bond
Summary
The Callahan County Commissioners Court approved a road-use agreement with Energy Transfer for the Hugh Brinson pipeline on Sept. 22, including a $5,000,000 performance bond; the contract was accepted after county counsel negotiated terms with the company's legal team.
Callahan County Commissioners Court approved a road-use agreement with Energy Transfer for the Hugh Brinson pipeline project at its Sept. 22 meeting, requiring a $5,000,000 performance bond. County attorney Jim Allison worked with the company's legal department on the agreement, which the court accepted by voice vote.
The agreement covers use of county roads during construction of an east–west segment described by staff as spanning the county. Commissioner Windham moved to accept the road-use agreement and Commissioner Farmer seconded; the motion passed with unanimous voice approval. No contested conditions or individual vote tallies were recorded in the transcript.
County staff told the court the road-use agreement and performance bond had been signed and sent to the county for approval, and the attorney confirmed negotiation had occurred with the pipeline company's counsel. Commissioners noted this project is one of multiple pipeline alignments expected to cross Callahan County; staff said another, north–south segment that will connect to this route may appear before the court soon.
The court did not record additional conditions in the meeting minutes beyond the bond requirement and staff's statement that the agreement had been reviewed by the county attorney. The action moves the agreement to implementation, subject to any administrative steps required by county contracting procedures.
