The Beloit City Council met in regular session at 6:00 PM on Monday, April 20, 2026, at City Hall Forum, 100 State Street, Beloit, WI. The agenda included proclamations, a special recognition, a routine consent calendar, a presentation on the Beloit Public Library's Discovery PLAYce, and action items covering development agreements, a street renaming, and road reconstruction projects. The available transcript is heavily garbled, so some specifics could not be reliably reconstructed.
The consent agenda was considered routine and enacted by one motion, with no separate discussion. It included:
Library Director Nick Dimassis presented on the Discovery PLAYce project at the Beloit Public Library. The transcript is too garbled to capture the full content; it references programming and community engagement, references to October and November, and figures including 4.159, 4.65, and 18, the context of which is not reliably discernible.
Lincoln Academy Phase 3 (Resolution 2026-066): Staff presented the First Amendment to the Development Agreement and a Water Main Easement for the Lincoln Academy Phase 3 Development Project, noting that it requires two approvals and discussing the public infrastructure timeline, green space, and traffic framework.
Renaming Water Street to Sky Carp Way (Resolution 2026-060): Discussion addressed the street behind the ballpark, traffic arriving for ballpark events, and use of the parking lot. The Plan Commission recommended approval by a 3-2 vote.
Colley Road Reconstruction (Resolution 2026-062, Contract C26-15) and Ho-Chunk Nation Cooperative Agreement: Staff discussed the long-planned Colley Road and Willowbrook Road reconstruction projects and recommended awarding the contract. Regarding the cooperative agreement with the Ho-Chunk Nation Transportation Authority, the garbled transcript indicates the city's contribution increased to $4,515,428, with up to $3 million designated for one of the road projects, $1.5 million referenced for another component, and remaining funds shifted to the Willowbrook Road project. It also references the removal of a road (transcribed as "Power Road") from the project scope, Race Camp project funds of $15,476,259, and a $2 million interest payment from the Ho-Chunk Nation.
Note: The agenda assigns the same resolution number (2026-062) to both item 12.c (contract award) and item 12.d (cooperative agreement); this appears to be a numbering discrepancy in the agenda.
Okay, public library is too five to me. All people have to do is five weeks. Well I would probably find two words and sound. I also like to put a number of guns up there for the new folks before we need full time to spend the point. And also I can find that phone members to join us in celebration over there at Funday First at any one and Thursday. And it's also something like that. Um recognition for teaching well. And I will be done when they stuck up the wall. Well, while my moon I do not care, I mean that you can We're looking at the street and the name of the street behind the ballpark is actually when you built the ballpark and everything that water street was here as a street right now. It's easy to begin and the water street and all the people. And so that street would be uh easy to be any traffic that comes to all the people in the ballpark and it's um controller which is difficult. Really what we're doing to do is utilize the parking lot. Uh we don't feel the impact on the thing except for the good time and there are people a little bit better useful place for us to do that. I considered routine and will be active by one motion. There will be no topics at any of these items and we still request in the end will be removed and so at this point on the setting is licensed to R9 and it is ordinances for the R9 and nine and appointments. Uh the input seems to lower the nominated for a seat and city board can be information. Examination is subject to information that the council approval of appointments will be accomplished by one motion, and if the council member requests to take up the nomination separately, and you can make the nomination will be me and you go over a business and consider that this point on you down there. Um just gonna use some. So we have two overview, we cut it all by standing with the Edwards, and follows the uh stuff like that. Um bastard and I'm sorry to enjoy working with you.
