Explorer Article: Water Impact Fees

We probably all know by this time that the OV Council voted to increase the water impact fees. We have posted the article from the June 27 Explorer, but saw fit to highlight two points:

Two--- KC Carter tried to get the full increase approved, which failed for a lack of a 2nd to the motion. (No wonder, as Paula Abbott was on an excused absence.)

To use the argument that we’re going to price ourselves out of the market is ridiculous,” said Oro Valley resident Art Segal. “The developers pretty much run the town.”

Council member Ken “KC” Carter moved that the council adopt a one-time increase in fees but his motion failed to receive a second.
