Council Meeting Minutes for March 16, 2026 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />Residential class adjustments increased by approximately 0.8 percent overall. Fifty-two percent <br />of Hugo properties saw no change in value, while 48 percent experienced an increase. Of the <br />increases, 79 percent were 5 percent or less. Tyson observed that the local residential and new <br />construction markets remain healthy and active. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Mayor Weidt, Tyson explained that new construction valuations <br />depend on the start and completion dates of the project. The transition from lot value to new <br />construction value occurs at the beginning of the year following completion, so the timing of the <br />construction period determines when the change is reflected on the tax statement. <br /> <br />Approval of Consent Agenda <br /> <br />Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve the following Consent Agenda: <br /> <br />1.
