Freestone County releases Atmos/Watkins bond and accepts Catco pipeline bond
Summary
Freestone County commissioners voted to release the Atmos/Watkins pipeline bond after county staff confirmed the work is complete and accepted a filing for a Catco pipeline bond; the actions were routine and carried by voice vote.
Freestone County Commissioners voted to release a bond for the Atmos/Watkins pipeline after county staff reported the contractor completed the project.
During the meeting the presiding official said the pipeline "is completely completed" and moved to bring Item 7 forward; another commissioner seconded the motion and the court recorded "Aye," carrying the action. Commissioners thanked the contractor and noted the release was uncommon but appropriate given confirmed completion.
The court also accepted a pipeline bond filing tied to Catco (referred to in the meeting as the contractor for an Atlas pipeline project). Chad Wright of Aetna Energy attended to confirm the previously approved bond had been submitted for filing with the county clerk; a motion to accept the bond was made and carried.
The court treated these as ministerial actions: staff confirmed completion and bond receipt before the court approved the filings. The court did not discuss changes to the bonds’ terms during the meeting.
