Summary
The New Berlin Recreation Commission on April 20 approved the Top Center Lacrosse Instructor Services Agreement and a trade agreement with BSN Sports (for gym rental time to MTXE Premier Basketball); both motions passed 5-0. The meeting included routine program and facilities updates presented from agenda attachments.
The New Berlin Recreation Commission met April 20, 2026, at the Activity & Recreation Center and approved two items related to programming and facility use: the Top Center Lacrosse Instructor Services Agreement and a trade agreement with BSN Sports that exchanges equipment for gym rental time to MTXE Premier Basketball. Both motions passed unanimously, 5-0.
Alderman Harenda called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Commissioner Prei moved to approve the January 19, 2026, minutes, with NBAA Rep Kittson seconding; that motion passed 5-0. Commissioner Prei then moved to approve the March 23, 2026, minutes; NBPS Rep Bush seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Under new business, the commission considered a requested action to approve the Top Center Lacrosse Instructor Services Agreement. Commissioner Tietyen moved to approve the agreement and NBPS Rep Bush seconded; the motion carried 5-0. The agenda described this as an instructor services contract intended to support lacrosse programming; the transcript records the approval but contains no substantive on-the-record debate about contract terms.
The commission also recommended approval of a proposed trade agreement with BSN Sports, in which BSN Sports would provide materials or services in exchange for gym rental time to MTXE Premier Basketball. NBAA Rep Kittson moved to approve the trade agreement, Commissioner Prei seconded, and the motion passed 5-0. The transcript records the motion and vote but does not include further detail about the trade's scope or financial terms; those materials were noted as included in the agenda packet attachments.
Staff provided several routine communications and division updates—Youth Enrichment, Youth Sports, Adult Enrichment and Sports, Facilities/Special Events/Rentals, and general Recreation Division updates—stated in the meeting as discussed per attachments in the packet. No substantive public comment or contested debate is recorded in the transcript for these items.
A motion to adjourn, moved by Commissioner Tietyen and seconded by Commissioner Prei, passed 5-0 and the meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. Staff present for the session were Eric Snodgrass, Assistant Recreation Manager, and Katie Roth, Recreation Manager. The minutes were signed "Respectfully Submitted, Commissioner Tietyen."
