LICENSE APPROVALS
Recommend Approval of Operator Licenses
Alderperson Madden made a motion to recommend approval of an Operator License
for Renee Lippitt, Georgia Ness, Jonathan Ropel, Ashley Sheahan, Brandon Smart,
Scott Walker, Lisa Williams, Tami Wills, Kelley Zamitalo, and a Temporary License for
Thomas Orlick. Alderperson Hammel seconded; motion carried.
Update Regarding Operator Trenton J. Garski
The Deputy Clerk noted that an Operator’s License was issued to Mr. Garski in February
with a six-month review. A recent background check revealed several new issues. Mr.
Garski has upcoming court dates in three counties. It is unknown if he will incur additional
jail time. The existing license will expire on June 30, 2020. It is City Attorney Warchol’s
recommendation to let the license continue and expire in June. Despite Mr. Garski’s
pending matters, new legislation severely limits a municipality’s ability to revoke an
Operator’s License.
