Group offers Chapter 391 commission to try to stop proposed 765 kV transmission line through McCulloch County
Summary
Dan Byfield of American Stewards of Liberty told County Judge Frank Trull his group could form a Chapter 391 subregional planning commission to seek to stop or delay a proposed 765 kV transmission line scheduled to run through McCulloch County and along the San Saba River.
County Judge Frank Trull reported on Dec. 22 that he received a call from Dan Byfield with the American Stewards of Liberty offering to help McCulloch County oppose a proposed 765 kilovolt transmission line.
Byfield told the judge his organization aided Mason County and the City of Mason in stopping construction of a transmission line there by forming a Chapter 391 subregional planning commission and said his group could provide similar assistance in McCulloch County to stop or delay the planned 765 kV route along the San Saba River. The Court discussed the outreach; no formal action to join or form a Chapter 391 commission is recorded in the transcript.
Court members were informed that representatives from outside organizations may contact individual commissioners for follow-up; Judge Trull encouraged attendance at the next Commissioners Court meeting for further discussion. The transcript does not include any vote or formal directive to pursue the Chapter 391 option.
