The Safety and Licensing Committee is meeting 07/09/2025 at 5:30PM.
As action items mostly consist of license-related items. They have a lot of license renewals, one new license application, a few premise amendments related to Mile of Music, one liquor license change of agent application for the alcohol license for Hank and Karen’s Pub and Grill; Henry, the license holder passed away, so ownership of the license needs to be transferred to Karen.
They will also be voting on a request to approve the Northeast Wisconsin Hazardous Materials Response Service Agreement with the Department of Military Affairs.
Beyond the action items, they will be holding 3 demerit point violation appearances. Foxtrot Saloon received 80 demerit points for dispensing alcohol to a minor, Lindo Michoacan received 50 demerits for not having a licensed operator of premises, and the Walgreens at 700 W College Avenue received 40 demerit points for not having a licensed operator on the premises. The holders of all three licenses are supposed to attend the meeting and explain to the committee what steps they are taking to decrease their risk of future violations, but many license holders do not attend such meetings, so we will have to wait and see if anyone shows up.
The committee will also be receiving several information items.
They will be receiving an update on the efforts to reimplement a truancy ordinance.
They will also receive information on recent alcohol license violation convictions. Walmart on Calumet, Scuba’s Pourhouse, Rascal’s Bar and Grill, and Appleton Liquor on Meade Street were all convicted of selling alcohol to minors. This is not the first time the Walmart on Calumet has had such a violation, and last year a store representative appeared before the committee to talk about steps they were taking in response to a conviction they received on 04/03/2024 for selling alcohol to a minor.
Finally, Police Chief Polly Olson will be providing information to the committee about the Police Department’s request to spend $533,600 to replace 115 portable radios.
