(June 29, 2023) Residents getting a breakfast sandwich or a cup of coffee at On Common Grounds on Thursday had the opportunity to visit with Berlin’s Mayor Zack Tyndall.

He hosted “Meet the Mayor” as an opportunity to visit with residents on a more casual basis and set up shop that morning to talk to residents about issues related to the town.

“The town meetings can be intimidating, although we try to make sure everyone feels welcome,” Tyndall said.

Residents chatted with Tyndall about electric utilities and general issues related to living in Berlin.

Many people noted the charm of Berlin and how friendly everyone is in town, said Tyndall.

Sara Gorfinkel, the mayor’s new administrative assistant, joined him for coffee. Gorfinkel and Tyndall plan to host “Meet the Mayor” at various locations and times in town, including the library, parks, and other businesses.

“We will go where the people are,” Tyndall said.
