R-2016-3279 - 3/10/2016RESOLUTION NO. R-2016-3279
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock ("City") is a home rule municipal corporation
organized and operating under the laws of the State of Texas; and
WHEREAS, the Lower Colorado River Authority Transmission Service Corporation
("LCRA' TSC") has provided notice to the City of the proposed construction of an 138KV
transmission line and two electric substations to improve the reliability of service in southwest
Williamson County by connecting a substation in Leader to an existing substation in Round
Rock (the "Transmission Line Project"); and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need for and benefits from the Transmission Line
Project, and it also recognizes that a number of the alternate alignments will have a significant
negative impact on the community, the economic development of the City and its extraterritorial
jurisdiction, and the continued growth of its tax base; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Round Rock desires to adopt a resolution to
identify transmission line alignments that have less material impact on the community and the
future development of the City's tax base; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Round Rock further desires to state
alignment options that it fundamentally opposes, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK,
