The Canby City Council voted Oct. 2 to adopt Resolution No. 2024-10-02-3 to schedule a public hearing on a proposed property tax abatement for the Canby Sportsman’s Club. The hearing is set for Nov. 6, 2024 at 6 p.m. CST in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.

The resolution and the posted notice identify the property by PID 31-034-3071 and list the total estimated amount of the abatement as $137,373.

Written comments or oral testimony will be accepted at the Nov. 6 hearing, and the City Administrator’s contact information is included in the notice for additional information.
The council approved scheduling the hearing by motion (moved by Diana Fliss; seconded by Marisa Kack). The record shows the motion carried and staff will publish the statutorily required notice and accept public comment at the scheduled hearing.
