In the past 4-5 years Grinnell Hall's membership along with the number of patrons that utilize its facilities andprogramming has grown exponentially. As a result, convenient patron parking is imperative to the overall operation andsuccess of Grinnell Hall. Over the past 3 years, United Church of Beloit and the City have formed a partnership to assistGrinnell patrons by providing additional parking in the Church parking lot. That Agreement will expire April 15, 2019.The attached Agreement will authorize Approval of a Parking Lot Use Agreement between the City of Beloit and UnitedChurch of Beloit for the upcoming 2 years and 8 months. Both parties desire to continue this partnership.
Key Issues
1. The City and United Church of Beloit propose to change this Agreement to a calender year schedule.
2. The Parking Lot Use Agreement is for 2 years and 8 months with a term beginning April 16, 2019 through December31, 2021.
3. The Agreement provides for the City to pay $2,970 for parking lot use in 2019 and $3,120 annually for 2020 and 2021.
4. To enhance the safety of our patrons during the winter months, City staff may salt the church's parking lot duringsalting operations at Grinnell Hall's lot.

Consider whether the policy of program will reduce dependence upon fossil fuels, reduce dependence on chemicals and othermanufacturing substances that accumulate in nature, reduce dependence on activities that harm life sustaining eco-systems, and/or meet thehierarchy of present and future human needs fairly and efficiently. Write N/A if not applicable)
The fiber optic connection will have little to no impact on the built and natural environment and will reside within 36” –48” of soil with minimal disturbance. The equipment that connects the fiber optic cabling will allow for machineconsolidations, reduce stray radio emissions, and reduce fossil fuels by using less energy and requiring less coolingcapacities. Because fiber optic utilizes pulses of light, underground electronic emissions and environmental noise areeliminated resulting in no impact or harm on life sustaining eco systems. The fiber optic has an estimated life cycle of40+ years, which will serve today’s and future community needs.
Action Required/Recommendation
Approval of the Resolution authorizing the Final Payment.
Fiscal Note/Budget Impact
Funds are available in the 2018 Capital Improvement Plan.

FROM: Scott Schneider, Project Engineer
DATE: January 18, 2019
SUBJECT: Final Payment Contract C18-36
Citywide Fiber Optic
The work on this project was completed on October 30, 2018. I found the work to besatisfactory and in compliance with the requirements of the contract. The contractor has askedfor final payment.

The original contract amount was for $589,635.21, and the final contract amount is$620,473.05. The increase in price was for upgrading the fiber count to WPCF and highconcentrations of cobble during the boring process.

Therefore, I recommend a final payment in the amount of $29,819.71 be made to Fiber OpticManagement, LLC dba Turnkey Network Solutions., Inc.

CITY OF BELOITREPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL
Topic: Outstanding Special Assessments at 2231 Trevino Court, Beloit Wisconsin
Date: 4/15/2019
Presenter: Lori Luther, City Manager Department: City Manager
Overview/Background Information
2007 – The City borrowed funds and built public improvements for water, sewer, streets and sidewalks in the area thatincludes Trevino Court to support a residential subdivision development. The Developer for the parcels now owned bythe School District was Lockhart Development LLC with a total preliminary value for the public improvements to theseparcels in 2007 of $87,318.52, the final value of $84,416.44 was placed as a deferred assessment and lien on theproperty. The deferred special assessment was to be triggered upon request of a building permit or transfer of title witha simple interest rate applied at a rate of 5.25% annually until paid or for ten years, whichever occurred first. Pleasenote that the current three lots were originally a single parcel, later divided as four parcels, and finally re-divided bythe school district via certified survey map as the current three parcels. (See Attachment A in reference to the 2007Amended Final Resolution Authorizing Utility and Roadway Improvements and Levying Special Assessments againstbenefitted property.)
2012 – Blackhawk Bank acquired these properties in a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. This action triggered payment of thespecial assessments over a ten year period with the first installment due January 31, 2014.
2014 – An attorney representing Blackhawk State Bank contacted the City to request a three year extension of thedeferred assessments. This request was granted in the 2014 Resolution Authorizing Blackhawk State Bank an Extensionfor Outstanding Special Assessments at 2231 Trevino Court, Beloit, Wisconsin (please see Attachment B).
2016 – An attorney representing Blackhawk State Bank contacted the City again explaining that the School Districtwished to acquire the properties for the Home Build project and asked if we would be willing to extend the specialassessments to allow the property transaction to occur and allow the project to get up and running without requiring animmediate payment. The Council agreed in the Resolution Authorizing the School District of Beloit an Extension forOutstanding Special Assessments at 2231 Trevino Court, Beloit, Wisconsin (please see Attachment C).
The School District still owns two (2) lots located at 2231 Trevino Court, each with outstanding special assessments of$38,526.70 totalling $77,053.40. Of this amount $51,855.26 is principal and $25,198.14 is interest. As indicated abovethe interest rate was set at 5.25% in 2007, however this was before the beginning of the great recession where interestrates plumetted and remained at all time lows for over a decade. Therefore, the City would be willing to renegotiatethe interest at a rate of 1% annually in order to partner with the School District and lower the current interest burdern.This would substantially reduce the outstanding interest by $10,271 per lot. This change would also generate a slightreduction in the principal balance of $1,195.90 per lot bringing the total saving to $22,933.80 and thereby reducing theoutstanding liability to $54,119.60 ($49,463.46 Principal + $4,656.14 Interest). This would satisfy the remaining balanceon the property that was already sold as well as the balance on the remaining two (2) lots.
Key Issues
Partnering with the School District of Beloit in order to help reduce the outstanding special assessment burden at 2231Trevino Court.
Collecting on outstanding deferred special assessments which ultimately help the City gain flexibility in their specialassessment revolving fund.
Conformance with Strategic Plan
Approval of this action would conform with the stated purpose of the following strategic goal:
Goal #1 – Create and Sustain Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods
Goal #2 – Create and Sustain a High Performing Organization
Goal #3 – Create and Sustain Economic and Residential Growth
Goal #4 – Create and Sustain a High Quality of Life
