Committee of the Whole - Oct 19, 2026
Two developer proposals (Mike Howe Builders and Americon & 3 Amigos) for redeveloping the old Madison School and Lakeview Park were discussed behind closed doors, with no action taken.
Committee of the Whole - Sep 8, 2026
The city bought the old Madison School from the school district and asked developers to pitch plans for the roughly 8-10 acre lakefront property. Two teams responded — one focusing on bluff-side condos and single-family lots, the other on a mixed neighborhood with rentals and a public lakefront overlook. No decision was made; staff will refine both proposals first.
Common Council - May 18, 2026
The city finalized buying the former Madison School property from the school district, wrapping up a deal discussed for months.
