In a recent recap shared by the City of New Berlin on social media, the community was briefed about the outcomes of the latest Common Council meeting. On February 10, 2026, key decisions were made regarding local development and infrastructure, highlighted on the City of New Berlin's Facebook page. Major points included the Plan Commission's recommendations on rezoning properties, actions by the Utility Committee on several engineering contracts, and the management of city-owned land leases for agricultural purposes in the upcoming growing seasons.
In the Plan Commission's segment of the meeting, they tackled land use items such as rezoning requests and the approval of Certified Survey Maps for properties along Woelfel Road and 179th Street. The Utility Committee advanced its agenda by giving the green light to a bevy of professional service contracts, easements, and support roles associated with the improvements to Moorland Road's sewer and water systems. Amid these discussions, lease agreements for agricultural use of city land in 2026–2027 were also put on the table, as reported by the City of New Berlin.
Additionally, as part of the meeting's administrative duties, the City Clerk provided a timely reminder to residents that New Berlin will not be hosting a primary election on February 17.
