168.07 COUNCIL ACTION; PUBLIC HEARINGS.

   Upon receipt of the approval or the reasons for non-approval of the Planning Commission, Council shall hold a public hearing on the question of the adoption of the urban renewal plan at which an opportunity shall be provided to all persons or organizations interested to be heard either in person or by counsel. In the event the Planning Commission fails to approve the plan, Council may hold such hearing or may indefinitely postpone consideration of the plan. Notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City once a week for not less than two successive weeks immediately prior to the date of the hearing. The first publication shall be not less than ten days prior to the date of the hearing, inclusive of the date of publication but exclusive of the date of hearing.

   Notice of the public hearing shall be mailed at least fourteen days in advance of the hearing to all property owners as their addresses appear on the records of the County Auditor and to all occupants within the area as the same may be determined from a Williams or other street directory.

   The notice shall contain a description of the urban renewal or project area by its location in relation to highways, streets, streams or other landmarks, and shall state that maps and plats and other materials describing the urban renewal plan are available for public inspection at a place to be designated in such notice. The notice shall also contain a statement that the City's relocation program will be available for examination and will be open for discussion at the hearing.

   Failure to comply strictly with the notice requirements of this section shall not invalidate approval of an urban renewal plan or modification thereof.
