There is at least potential for a resolution for the dispute between a local developer and the City of Kingfisher.

The Kingfisher City Commission will hold a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday.

There are three action items on the posted agenda and all deal with the dispute between the city and Mike Matthews.

The first action item is “Discussion and possible action to rescind the action taken on September 8, 2025 regarding the requested zoning change for property located at 1000 S. Main Street.”

The city commission denied Matthews’ application to rezone that listed property from residential to commercial C-4 on a 2-2 vote.

That came after the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval with a 4-1 vote in July.

The city commissioners voting to approve Matthews’ application were Kyle Mecklenburg and Jeff Wittrock.

Mayor Geoff Covalt and Dawn Taylor voted against it while Tammy Sammons, who was appointed to the commission and sworn in earlier in that meeting, abstained. Sammons later told the KT&FP she could not make an informed vote at that time.

Without majority approval, the application was denied.

If the commission votes to rescind that action at Monday’s special meeting, the next agenda item is “Discussion and possible action to approve the recommendation from the P&Z to grant C-4 Zoning at 1000 S. Main Street.”

It also allows for a presentation to be made, presumably by Matthews.

The third action item is a vote “to approve waiver of electric distribution system installation fees upon request of the City Manager as authorized by Section 124-11(G) of the Kingfisher City Code.”

That action also allows for a presentation to be made, again, presumably, by Matthews, though the agenda didn’t specifically state it at press time.

Matthews has also been in dispute with the city regarding an invoice he received for the installation of electric infrastructure in a 74-plot housing addition.

Matthews contended he was not made aware of the impending fees, which totaled about $223,000 and would have reconfigured other infrastructure within the addition to allow for the extra costs.

The city referred to the ordinance passed in 2018 that allows it to recoup its money on such projects.

The two sides have been at an impasse for several months and Matthews recently began collecting signatures for a recall petition for Covalt, Mecklenburg, Wittrock and Taylor. The petition lists details of both the rezoning application denial and the housing addition dispute as reasons for the recall.

Although he’s stated he has more than the required amount of signatures to begin the recall process, Matthews had not turned them into City Clerk Brittney Hladik as of press time of this edition.

He told the KT&FP earlier last week that he was still hopeful for a resolution.
