CCR1974190RESOLUTION #190-74
DIRECTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING SEC. 12.01(5) (C) of the MUNICIPAL CODE
WHICH WOULD RAISE THE QUOTA FOR CLASS "B" FERMENTED
MALT BEVERAGE LICENSES FROM 38 TO 39
U
WHEREAS, on August 13, 1974, the Common Council of the City
of Muskego defeated an ordinance which would have amended
Sec. 12.01 (5) (G) of the Municipal Code by removing the
limitation on Class "B" Fermented Malt Beverage Licenses
(retail beer licenses) which was recommended by the Rules,
Laws and Ordinance Committee, and
WHEREAS, it appeared that much of the opposition was based
on the total removal of all control of the number of licenses
issued, and
WHEREAS, the City presently has 38 Class "B" Fermented Malt
Beverage Licenses which are only issued in conjunction with
the 38 Class "B" Intoxicating Liquor Licenses (taverns,
supper clubs and dance halls) and
WHEREAS, the City has presently on file an application for
a Class "B" Fermented Malt Beverage License from James
Welniak who is contemplating the opening of a small brats
and pizza restaurant in the Parkland Plaza Shopping Center
and
WHEREAS, the recently adopted age of majority permits indi-
viduals 18 years old to consume both fermented malt beverage
and intoxicating liquor and therefore, the concern of pro-
viding beer to individuals between the years of 18 and 21
is no longer valid, and
WHEREAS, a small restaurant of this nature could be an
asset to the community fulfilling a need for those who
may not wish to patronize taverns, supper clubs, etc.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Cormnon Council of the
City of Muskego does hereby direct the city attorney to
prepare the necessary amendment to Ch. 12.01 which would
raise the Class "B" Fermented Malt Beverage Licenses in
the City of Muskego from 38 to 39.
