She gave real world examples of three options in both <br /> residential and commercial.

There was also discussion on the TIF Application for Hugo <br /> Commons (former End Zone site). <br /> Paul Steinman stated that the June 30, 2008 deadline to certify the district could be ignored <br /> since there has not been any action in the district. He stated that March 2009 is the mandatory <br /> deadline since that is three years from the date the first house was demolished. The City will <br /> need to certify by then to collect the increment from the properties. He recommended to the <br /> EDA to wait after June 30, 2008 to certify the district. <br /> Thistle made a motion, seconded by Arcand to wait until after June 30, 2008 to certify the <br /> TIF district. <br /> All aye. Motion carried. <br />
