New Berlin council approves utility roof contracts, parks donations and an AT&T lease amendment
Summary
The council unanimously approved multiple utility and parks contracts — including a $34,900 Valley View pump house roof project and an $83,800 Grange/Greenfield roof project — accepted Boy Scout donation projects for parks and approved a lease amendment with AT&T increasing monthly rent by $600 to accommodate a generator footprint.
The New Berlin Common Council on Dec. 10 approved several routine capital and donation items recommended by committees and moved by aldermen during the meeting.
Utility Committee recommendations passed included awarding the Valley View Pump House low‑slope roof replacement to Cash Act Roofing for $24,900 with a $10,000 contingency for a total project cost of $34,900. The council also approved awarding the Grange and Greenfield pump houses steep‑slope roof replacements to D & H Royal Construction LLC for $63,800 with a $20,000 contingency, for a total of $83,800. Both recommendations were reported as having been recommended to the council by the utility committee on Dec. 3, 2024 and were approved by voice vote.
The council approved an amendment to an AT&T lease for the communication tower (referred to in the transcript as Kallen Tower) to permit the addition of a generator and associated transmission line. The amendment increases monthly lease compensation by $600; the council approved the change subject to final approval by the utility manager and city attorney.
From the Parks, Buildings and Grounds committee, the council approved a $64,000 design contract with Prospective Design Incorporated for fueling station reconstruction (funded from account 04251300-61215-C2024). The council also approved donation agreements with the Boy Scouts of America: an Eagle Scout project by Henry Snively to build and donate four benches for Valley View Park playgrounds, and an Eagle Scout project by Jesse Greesen to install an oversized bench/chair at Maple Ridge Park. Additionally, the council approved a donation by the New Berlin Pumas for an electronic scoreboard at Buena Park. Each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
All items were recorded as approved unanimously; council members did not raise substantive objections during the public discussion recorded in the transcript. Several presenters explained that the committee process and competitive bidding reduced costs for roofing projects and confirmed the donations had been vetted and recommended by committees.
