The New Berlin Board of Review accepted the resignation of Paul Peterson and unanimously elected Cliff Pautz as chair at a meeting on June 17, 2025, at 10:01 a.m.

The action came at the start of the session after Rubina Medina, the city clerk, announced Peterson’s resignation and said, “We sincerely thank him for his service and wish him the best.” The board then opened nominations for chair and, with one nominee, installed Cliff Pautz by unanimous consent.

The change in leadership was handled at the beginning of the short meeting; Medina confirmed a quorum of four board members was present before the election. After the nomination and a single second, the chair position was declared filled without a roll-call vote because there were no other nominees. The clerk then turned the meeting over to Chairperson Cliff Pautz.

No additional discussion or objections were recorded regarding the resignation or the election. The board proceeded to its substantive business after the chair was installed.

The meeting record shows the board adjourned after addressing its remaining items later that morning.
