The 5-2 vote was expected as council members Keith Walker and Cherish Sammeli expressed a mix of reservation and opposition through various junctures in the process that will see the fees implemented in early October. Vice Mayor Ken Watkins said the adopted fees will generate about half the revenue than the original proposal. He said the compromise appears workable. Council member Sue Ann Mello noted that a previous Kingman Council rescinded development fees about a decade ago. She said the city can do the same…
