Members of the Queen Creek Town Council on April 5 voted 6-0 to approve the release of a transportation impact fee study April 6 for the public to review and offer comment.

All members of the town council were present at the meeting, which was held in the council chambers of the Queen Creek Town Hall.

They were: Mayor Gail Barney, Vice Mayor Jeff Brown and council members Robin Benning, Jake Hoffman, Dawn Oliphant, Emilena Turley and Julia Wheatley.

Mayor Barney recused himself from the discussions regarding the transportation impact fee because his family’s land in Queen Creek is undergoing development options, Marnie Schubert, the town’s communications, marketing and recreation director, said in an e-mailed response to a question.

Changing the transportation impact fee requires a series of public hearings held over several months.
