Winfield staff says city cannot waive EBE Investments fees; council takes no action
Summary
The council considered an EBE Investments request for a fee waiver referenced to Ordinance #135.02; according to the minutes staff member Tim Lafon instructed the city could not waive the fees and the council took no action.
The Winfield City Council considered a fee-waiver request from EBE Investments under Ordinance #135.02 at its Feb. 6, 2025 special meeting. The minutes state that staff member Tim Lafon instructed the council that the city was unable to waive the fees, and no formal action was taken.
The minutes do not identify who presented the EBE Investments request to the council, nor do they record a motion, second or vote on the matter. The entry in the minutes reads: "EBE Investments Fee Waiver in Reference to Ordinance #135.02. Tim Lafon has instructed that we are unable to waive the fees. No action taken." The minutes provide no additional explanation of the legal or administrative basis for denying the waiver.
Because the minutes do not include supporting documentation or a recorded vote, the record does not show whether the council deliberated further or whether staff will follow up with additional guidance or options for EBE Investments.
