City staff provided a PowerPoint presentations of the TIF Plan and <br />Mayor Fran Miron opened the public hearing to take any all public comment on the proposed TIF <br />district. A total of 16 people addressed the Council and provided pro and con statements on the plan. <br />The Hugo City Council voted to continue the public hearing to the April 16, 2007 regular City Council <br />meeting.
