Mayor Hinkle inquired if there was anyone else present who wished to speak at the public hearing. No one else requested to speak and Mayor Hinkle closed the public hearing. Mayor Hinkle inquired of Mr. Peter Beck, representing the City Attorney's office, whether or not cities were required to review and report on tax increment financing projects annually. Mr. Beck stated that the Mayor was correct and reviewed the annual disclosure requirements listed on page twelve of the Tax Increment Financing plan. He noted that July 1st is the date on which the annual disclosure must be prepared for tax increment financing projects. Mr. Ron Langness pointed out that the annual disclosure costs are eligible tax increment financing costs and the time involved preparing them is generally very small and may take only an hour or so.
