The Committee reviewed correspondence from the City Clerk
regarding additional information the City has received
regarding the inspections made by Waukesha County Health
Department of our Class A and Class B establishments. The
information states that inspections done by Waukesha County are
primarily to examine the sanitary conditions of an establishment. If a Class A or B establishment serves food,
the inspections are done automatically as part of the Health Department's monitoring of food service businesses. If an
establishment does not serve food, the inspections are done at our request prior to the issuance of the liquor license. The
inspection is not done to check for safety violations or to assess if it is structurally sound. Ald. Patterson moved to
recommend that Chapter 12, Section 12.01 (7) (b) of the Municipal Code be amended to delete the requirement for
building, electrical and plumbing inspections to be made prior
