WHEREAS, in the midst of a global pandemic, the award-winning Downtown Beloit Farmers’

Market creatively modified operations so that patrons and sellers alike will experience a safe shopping

event through the use of masks and social distancing; and

WHEREAS, Wisconsin farmers provide residents with access to locally and regionally produced

foods through the Beloit Farmers’ Market, which accommodates the demand for a diverse array of

agricultural products; and

WHEREAS, Farmers Markets and other agricultural direct marketing outlets provide

infrastructure to assist in the distribution of farm and value-added products, thereby contributing

approximately $9 billion each year to the U.S. economy; and

WHEREAS, Farmers Markets support healthy communities, bringing delicious and nutritious

food to the table; and

WHEREAS, Farmers Markets promote sustainability of family farms, preserve farmland, and

stimulate local economies; and

WHEREAS, Farmers Markets are essential businesses, resilient and dependable in making

seasonal foods available to the community.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT OF THE CITY OF BELOIT does hereby

proclaim the WEEK OF August 2 – 8, 2020 as “National Farmers Market Week” in the City of Beloit and

WHEREAS, the bold, courageous and powerful women who fought for the ratification of the 19th

amendment to the United States Constitution on August 18, 1920, deserve special celebration by the city of

Beloit, especially on the 100th anniversary of its ratification in 2020;

WHEREAS, Wisconsin was one of the first states to ratify the 19th Amendment on June, 1919; and

WHEREAS, when Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on August 18, 1920, the

amendment passed its final hurdle of obtaining the agreement of three-fourths of the states. The ratification

was certified on August 26, 1920 changing the face of the American electorate forever; and

WHEREAS, in 1971, the U.S. Congress designated August 26 as Women’s Equality Day; and

WHEREAS, Wisconsin holds a special place in women’s suffrage history as many Wisconsin women

advocated for the right to vote on the streets, in the newspapers, in the state capital and throughout the great

state; and

WHEREAS, the 19th Amendment did not guarantee suffrage for all women, including Native Americans

who did not gain the right to vote until 1924. For Asian Pacific Islander Americans it was 1952. African-American

and Latin Americans suffered voter suppression until passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and 1975; and

WHEREAS, the fact that today women are active in local, state and national government and are running

for office in unprecedented numbers reminds us that we all follow in the footsteps of these resolute American

suffragists and the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution has played an important role in advancing

the right of all women.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT OF THE CITY OF BELOIT does hereby recommend

that residents and civic institutions celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage and ratification of the 19th

Amendment, providing for women's suffrage, to the Constitution of the United States; honor the role of the

ratification of the 19th Amendment in further promoting the core values of our democracy as promised by the

Constitution of the United States and reaffirm the opportunity for students and adults in the city to learn about

and commemorate the efforts of the women's suffrage movement and the role of women in our democracy and

our desire to continue to strengthen democratic participation and to inspire future generations to cherish and

preserve the historic precedent established under the 19th Amendment.

CITY OF BELOIT

REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL

Topic: Award of funds to NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region for Down Payment Assistance


Presenter: Julie Christensen Department: Community Development


As part of its 2020 HOME program, the City allocated funds to a variety of acquisition-rehab and purchase-rehab projects, including a new construction house by Community Action and two new construction houses by the Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development (WPHD). Additionally, the Rock County HOME Consortium allocated funds to the WPHD to construct a house at 335 Highland Avenue which is currently underway.

Key Issues

1) The City’s 2020 Budget included up to $160,000 of the HOME funds for the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program for owner-occupied rehabilitation projects citywide and the balance of HOME funds for acquisition-rehab and new construction projects in the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas (NRSAs) including $80,000 for Community Action, Inc’s (CAI) new construction project in the Merrill NRSA.

2) For HOME projects, down payment assistance is expended under each project. Therefore, it is considered a part of acquisition-rehab or new construction projects.

3) In 2018, the City Council allocated down payment assistance to NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region for HOME projects in Beloit. That funding agreement expired at the end of 2020.

4) The houses being constructed in Beloit in 2020-2022 include 335 Highland Avenue, 321 Highland Avenue and 354 Euclid Avenue by WPHD; 1256 Dewey Avenue by CAI, and 1235 Dewey Avenue by the City of Beloit. In addition, we anticipate rehabbing 737 Bluff Street with HOME funds in that same time frame.

5) The City anticipates that buyers will need down payment assistance, and NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region is the only HUD-approved counseling agency in Rock County. By awarding down payment assistance, it also allows the agencies to reduce the affordability period for the houses from 15 years to 5 years. The longer affordability period can sometimes be problematic when a buyer is obtaining financing. We are recommending entering into a contract with NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region for down payment services: $90,000 for down payment assistance plus $6,000 for HOME administrative expenses.

6) NeighborWorks has agreed to provide down payment assistance to eligible homebuyers of HOME projects.

7) The Community Development Authority reviewed this proposal on July 22, 2020 and recommended awarding these funds to NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region.


Approval of this agreement would conform with the stated purpose of the following strategic goal:

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AWARD OF HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM FUNDS TO NEIGHBORWORKS BLACKHAWK REGION FOR DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE

WHEREAS, the City of Beloit currently has prior year and 2020 HOME funds along with HOME program income allocated to housing rehabilitation and new construction projects and administrative expenses; and

WHEREAS, NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region already operates a down payment assistance program and could easily provide this assistance to potential buyers of HOME houses in the City of Beloit; and

WHEREAS, HOME funds are allowed to be used for down payment assistance and to pay HOME administrative expenses.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Beloit, Rock County, Wisconsin, hereby approves allocating $96,000 of HOME funds to NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region for the purposes of providing down payment assistance under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, of which $90,000 shall be allocated to down payment assistance and $6,000 for HOME administrative expenses. The City Manager is further authorized to execute a subrecipient grant agreement and to do all other things necessary to accomplish the purposes and intent of this resolution.

CITY OF BELOIT


Topic: Perpetual Sidewalk Easement Over a Portion of 850 Pleasant St. – Council Referral to the Plan Commission




This request involves a proposed Perpetual Sidewalk Easement over a portion of the Beloit College Powerhouse property located at 850 Pleasant Street. As part of the Powerhouse project, Beloit College is replacing and expanding the public sidewalk on the east (Pleasant Street) side of the property, and portions of the new sidewalk extend beyond the right-of-way onto Beloit College’s property.

Key Issues

1. This request is distinct from the Riverwalk project that is under construction on the west (river) side of the Powerhouse property.

2. As part of the Site Plan Review process for the Powerhouse addition, the City Engineer notified Beloit College of the need to grant the City an easement for those portions of the public sidewalk on College property. Exhibit A of the attached document identifies those portions of the sidewalk beyond the right-of-way that are subject to the proposed easement. The affected areas are shown in grey.

3. Some sections of new sidewalk have been completed, but have been ordered replaced by the City Engineer due to excessive cross-slope. Other sections of the new sidewalk will be installed as construction on the Powerhouse Addition is completed later this summer.

4. The attached Perpetual Sidewalk Easement provides that all sidewalks will be constructed, repaired, and maintained at Beloit College’s sole expense. The easement grants the City the right to inspect their work.

Topic: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 2020-127 EXTENDING RESOLUTION 2020-103 RELATED TO COVID-19 PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Date: 08/03/2020

Presenter: Lori Curtis Luther Department: City Manager


Based on a continued lack of a cure, vaccine or herd immunity, as well as increased rates of local infection and hospitalizations, I recommend an extension of Resolution 2020-103. This action ensures that physical distancing and protective requirements remain in place to minimize spread.

The City of Beloit has been committed throughout this crisis to safely reopening the economy while protecting the health of residents, businesses, and visitors.

The City's local authority under Chapter 323 of the Wisconsin State Statutes and section 1.10 of the Code of General Ordinances for the City of Beloit provides the ability to establish requirements to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of residents.

As of July 19, 2020, the City of Beloit had 588 laboratory confirmed cases compared to a cumulative of 1,143 laboratory confirmed in Rock County. This equated to 51% of the total cases in Rock County. On July 24, of the positive cases, 49% identified as Hispanic/Latino ethnicity and 20% were African American. As of July 24, 2020, a cumulative of 610 laboratory confirmed cases were in Beloit compared to a cummulative of 1,301 laboratory confirmed cases in all of Rock County. This equated to 47% of total cases in Rock County even though Beloit only represents 22% of the population. Even though numbers continue to rise, the percentage of cases in Beloit, as compared to the remainder of Rock County, may be on a downward trend because of the actions taken by the Council with this resolution.

Please see the attached report with additional details.

Key Issues

The proposed resolution addresses the risks of COVID-19 via the following:

1. Requiring any buildings or spaces that are open to the public to meet public health and safety practices, including (but not limited to) the requirement of physical distancing. Note this section of the resolution applies to all public spaces, including in businesses such as bars, salons and barber shops, as well as churches.

2. Requiring all individuals in the City of Beloit to comply with physical distancing requirements and protective measurements when in shared or public spaces outside of their own homes.

3. Strongly discouraging mass gatherings of over 25 individuals; mass gatherings of over 25 individuals in city-owned facilities and spaces, including parks, will be prohibited.

4. Directing the City Manager to establish appropriate policies for workplace safety for city employees and visitors to city facilities.









Sustainability (If applicable, briefly comment on the sustainable long term impact of this policy or program related to how it will impact both the built and natural environment. Consider whether the policy or program will reduce dependence upon fossil fuels, reduce dependence on chemicals and other manufacturing substances that accumulate in nature, reduce dependence on activities that harm life sustaining eco-systems, and/or meet the hierarchy of present and future human needs fairly and efficiently. Write N/A if not applicable)

This resolution provides clarity during uncertain times and provides for economic and health sustainability.

Resolution 2020‐127 1 of 2 COVID‐19 Prevention and Control


RESOLUTION EXTENDING RESOLUTION 2020‐103

RELATED TO COVID‐19 PREVENTION AND CONTROL IN THE CITY OF BELOIT

WHEREAS, on December, 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus was detected, now named COVID‐19, and it has spread throughout the world. COVID‐19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020 and was ultimately declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020; and

WHEREAS, in Wisconsin, Governor Tony Evers declared a public health emergency on March 12, 2020 and directed all agencies to support efforts to respond to and contain COVID‐19 in Wisconsin. At a national level, President Donald Trump proclaimed a National Emergency concerning COVID‐19 on March 13, 2020. At a local level, the Beloit City Council declared a state of emergency in the City of Beloit on March 16, 2020; and

WHEREAS, at its regular meeting on July 6, 2020 the Council restated guidelines related to the COVID‐19 emergency in Resolution 2020‐103; and

WHEREAS, as of July 29, 2020 there were a cumulative total of nearly 16.8 million laboratory confirmed cases of COVID‐19 in the world with a total of 4.3 million in the United States. Wisconsin had over 50,000 cases. As of July 24, 2020, the City of Beloit had 610 laboratory confirmed cases of Rock County’s total cases of 1,301. The percentage of cases in Beloit was 47% of Rock County totals although Beloit represents only 22% of the County population. The positive test rate in Beloit is 9% as opposed to 6% for the rest of Rock County; and

WHEREAS, we know that the fight to contain COVID‐19 is dynamic and ultimately is dependent long‐term on the widespread availability of a vaccine and/or treatment; and we know that physical contact and close proximity to other individuals may cause the spread of COVID‐19, thereby endangering the public and placing undue strain on the healthcare system.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council for the City of Beloit, under its authority in Chapter 323 of the Wisconsin State Statutes and Section 1.10 of the Code of General Ordinances for the City of Beloit, hereby extends the Order in Resolution 2020‐103 until 12:01 a.m. Wednesday September 9, 2020 unless otherwise terminated by further action of the City Council.

68

Resolution 2020‐127 2 of 2 COVID‐19 Prevention and Control

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council acknowledges that the City Manager has

established appropriate policies that address the COVID‐19 emergency for all city employees and affirms said actions. The City Manager shall further establish policies to ensure that precautionary measures are put in place to minimize exposure to COVID‐19 by city employees and the public visiting city facilities. Such policies may include appropriate face coverings, physical distancing, physical barriers, or other workplace safety precautions for all persons present on the premises of any city facility.

Topic: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON CLASS A INTOXICATING LIQUOR AND FERMENTED MALT BEVERAGE LICENSES

Date: 08/03/2020

Presenter: Lori Curtis Luther Department: City Manager


The CIty Council and Alcohol Beverage and Licensing Committee members have held joint workshops last year to discuss the quantity and density of off-premise retail sales of alcoholic beverages. Concerns were raised regarding licenses for off-premises retail sale of alcoholic beverages that have the most effect on unsupervised, underage youth, and binge drinking. Partially due to the City's response and recovery efforts related to COVID-19, the City needs time to review and evaluate potential legislative changes desired in Chapter 31 to better regulate the retail sale of off-premises alcoholic beverages within the City. Therefore, a temporary moratorium on the issuance of Class A off-premises retail licenses is proposed for a period of six months after adoption of this resolution for pending or new licenses unless ended sooner by further action of the City Council. This proposed moratorium would not limit the issuance of other classes of alcohol beverage licenses under Chapter 31. A date for a workshop is being planned.

Key Issues

1. This moratorium is being proposed to allow sufficient time to review and consider alcohol-related issues, policies, and guidance as they relate to off-premises retail sales of alcoholic beverages and to enact appropriate legislation, if needed.

2. During the moratorium, the City Council and Alcohol Beverage License Control Committee (ABLCC) shall not process, consider, review or approve any Class A application or license otherwise authorized under Chapter 31.

3. This moratorium shall apply to all applications currently pending or under review by the City Council, the ABLCC and/or staff as of the effective date of this Resolution. Applications for any such license shall be accepted and placed in a queue, in the order in which they are received, for processing following termination of this moratorium, in accordance with whatever laws and regulations are in effect at that time. Such laws or regulations may require the applicant to provide supplemental, new, or different information and meet additional standards.

4. This moratorium would become effective upon adoption of this Resolution.









Sustainability (If applicable, briefly comment on the sustainable long term impact of this policy or program related to how it will impact both the built and natural environment.
