Item #10: DISCUSSION ONLY/NO ACTION regarding the topic of the National Electric Corridor Delta Plains project planned to go through Creek County. - Mandie McCord and Rick Arhberg. Ms. McCord spoke briefly to the Board and presented them with a packet of information. I am a property/ranch owner in Creek County. I began researching about this topic two months ago and started really paying attention when the Payne County Commissioners heard this same topic. This is going to affect all land owners' rights within an 18-mile wide and 645-mile-long corridor. This is to help generate green energy, but comes with a great cost as well. The are preparing with Phase III, I request that you the Board of Creek County Commissioners get educated, involved in this land grab and try and stop it in our County. We the people would like to see meetings to inform the public and ask for your help in facilitating these events. We need the residents of our county to be informed on what this means and how it will affect them as property owners. Rick Arhberg, spoke briefly this in other words is a land grab, an over extension of public companies. Trans Source has shown they will do anything to take the land, just like the immanent domain they are currently doing to extend their public service. Payne County has step forward in efforts to stopping this in their county. We ask the Board to join in this effort to protect the landowners here. Trans Source is trying to operate as a private company, so that they do not have to follow the requirements by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, they are actually a subcompany of PSO and AEP. There is litigation currently in the Supreme Court. There were other options in this mass corridor, but they chose to go north and take individual's land. This is nothing but a way to provide green energy got the east coast. We ask that we see if we need to change some legislation on what rights property owners do have to protest ourselves. Stephens stated he supports landowners' rights and is working on a resolution to stop this going through Creek County. We currently are having our legal department review the Payne County resolution, I have reached out to Mark Wayne Mullins to see what we can add to the resolution to protest us on the federal side, as well. I am for the public meeting at the Fairgrounds, there is more strength in numbers. Stephens discussed the Open Meeting process and the Board not being able to discuss matters that will be voted upon. I support you; I would like to see a commissioner team up with you and get a meeting scheduled at the Creek County Fairgrounds. Whitehouse stated he has spoken to Kyle Hilbert to see what our best solution is moving forward in blocking this in our county. Sherry Capps, informed the Board that the Missouri Governor has signed a bill about enforcing property rights that the Board may want to review. Stephens stated we are listening and working on a solution. We should have an agenda item within the next couple of weeks to present to the Board. We appricate all of your concerns and will help facilitate a meeting for the public to become informed on this matter. The Board agreed that Jarrod Whitehouse will be the County Representative to assist in the public meeting with Mandie McCord.
