Paula Pintar named Caledonia trustee; board adopts ranked selection process for finalists
Summary
After interviews with four finalists, the board used a ranked-choice tally to nominate and appoint Paula Pintar to the trustee No. 2 seat; Pintar was sworn in at the meeting.
The village board confirmed its ranked selection process for trustee finalists (each board member ranked four candidates 1–4; staff tallied results, lowest total wins) and proceeded with interviews. After interviews, the board tallied votes and nominated Paula Pintar to fill Trustee No. 2; the board then moved to appoint and swear her in during the same meeting.
Paula Pintar introduced herself in the interview as a long-time Caledonia resident and health-care professional who described priorities including transparent budgeting, protecting rural character, careful use of tax-increment financing and greater community engagement. After the board’s nomination and a second, the appointment motion carried by voice vote, Pintar took the oath of office and the board adjourned.
The board also reminded attendees that the public test of voting machines would occur the following day and encouraged candidates who were not selected to consider future elections or committee service.
