Here’s a brief recap of the January 13 New Berlin Common Council meeting. Several attendees participated during Privilege of the Floor, and the Council and Mayor extended time to ensure all comments could be heard, showing appreciation for both in-person and online participation, as reported by the City of New Berlin's Facebook post.

The Council voted 4-3 to deny the Milwaukee Rescue Mission New Journey House request for a 1-Lot Certified Survey Map, as recommended by the Plan Commission. They also unanimously approved the purchase of salt reduction calibration equipment and passed Resolution 2025-23 to submit a Municipal Flood Control Grant application, according to the City of New Berlin.

In other updates, the City Clerk announced that a February 17, primary election will not be required, and voters can look forward to the Spring Election on April 7.
