Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for November 4,2019 Page 4 of 5 reviewed the property taxes on the outlots explaining if the properties are acquired, the City would be responsible for paying the second half of 2019 property taxes and the taxes for the year 2020. This is estimated to be just over $3,000 the City would need to pay. After 2020, the City can apply to be tax exempt for these two properties. The Council asked what the City would use the property for and if it could be developed in the future. Weber replied that there was nothing designated for it at this time, but it would be a good addition to the neighboring City owned property.
