McCulloch County adopts resolution opposing 765 kV transmission line across San Saba River watershed
Summary
The McCulloch County Commissioner’s Court unanimously approved a resolution opposing the Bell County East-Big Hill 765 kV Transmission Line Project where it would cross or run through the San Saba River watershed within McCulloch County.
McCulloch County’s Commissioner’s Court on Aug. 25 adopted a formal resolution opposing the proposed Bell County East-Big Hill 765 kilovolt transmission line where it would traverse or impact the San Saba River watershed within McCulloch County.
Commissioner Randy Deans moved for adoption and Commissioner Rod Young seconded; the motion carried unanimously, 5-0. The resolution records the court’s opposition to the routing or construction of the high-voltage transmission corridor within the county watershed area. The minutes do not record specific mitigation demands or the offices to be notified, only the formal vote adopting the resolution.
The court’s resolution is a legislative-expression tool used by county governments to record local concern; the action as recorded in the minutes does not itself block construction but documents the county’s formal stance on the project. The minutes do not show further staff direction, referral to outside counsel, or a specific follow-up timeline tied to the resolution.
The resolution was adopted as part of routine business at the Aug. 25 meeting and the full court voted to adjourn at 11:51 a.m.
