The Fulton Common Council addressed a modest crowd at their most recent council meeting (June 7) to gather public opinion for the proposed rate change for building permit and other fees. Ultimately, the council unanimously passed the rate increase but not before hearing the reasoning behind the decision and public opinion on both sides of the discussion. “We’re very concerned, we don’t want our fees to be way up higher than other cities, we’re definitely not the highest.
