City of Peoria: City Council Meeting - April 21, 2026

The City of Peoria City Council held a special meeting on April 21, 2026, primarily focused on procurement and infrastructure projects. The council approved a $3,412,667 budget transfer to fund the design and construction of APS electrical infrastructure to provide power to the Peoria Innovation Core, transferring funds from the Ashler Hills CIP project to the APS infrastructure project. This project is notable as the city is acting as the developer and will be reimbursed for the costs, with the infrastructure increasing land value and supporting future developments. Additionally, the council approved placing a franchise agreement with Rose Valley Water Company on the November 2026 general election ballot, along with a budget amendment to appropriate over $121,000 deposited by Rose Valley to cover election costs. The franchise agreement would formalize Rose Valley's use of city rights-of-way and require a 2% franchise fee, aligning with other utility agreements. No other procurement or contracting actions were taken during the meeting.
