Municipal Judge Joseph Doorlock administered the oath of office April 8 to Mayor David Amont and four reelected members of the New Berlin Common Council at a special meeting in New Berlin.
The swearing-in formally returned Mayor David Amont to office and placed Alderman John Hopkins (District 1), Alderman David Maxey (District 3), Alderman Joe Strebel (District 5) and Alderwoman Charlotte Krupa (District 7) in their reelected seats. The officials repeated the oath to “support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin,” then pledged to “faithfully discharge the duties of said office.”
Mayor David Amont thanked residents, council colleagues and city staff in brief remarks after taking the oath. “I truly believe this is the best place to live. The future is very bright for New Berlin, and I’m proud to be your mayor,” Mayor David Amont said. Several council members also offered short remarks of thanks to voters, volunteers and family members.
The meeting opened at approximately 5:01 p.m. and consisted principally of the administration of oaths and brief comments. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; a voice vote followed and the council adjourned at about 5:20 p.m. No committee reports, ordinances, resolutions or formal policy actions were taken at the special meeting.
The oaths included verbal references to the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin as part of the standard oath language. No roll-call votes or recorded tallies were taken on substantive items during the session.
