2012-2013 License Renewals
Ald. Borgman stated that there are problems with the Brick House Bar & Grill. He
requested that the committee not recommend the license for approval at this time.
Mayor Chiaverotti stated the Police Chief has indicated that the owner and/or
bartenders have been cooperative when issues have arisen. The owner has contacted
the neighbors and only one individual appears to have issues. A meeting with the
parties involved will be scheduled. However, the Mayor noted that the license will have
to be renewed. If there are legitimate grounds to suspend or revoke it, the process
outlined by state statute must be followed. Ald. Soltysiak stated that if the situation
were out of control, more than one individual would most likely complain. Ald. Borgman
stated even if only one person has issues, he wants a resolution.
Ald. Borgman moved to recommend that the licenses on the attached lists be
renewed for the 2012-2013 year with the exception of The Brick House. Ald.
Soltysiak seconded; motion carried.

Recommendation Regarding Acquisition of Tax Key No. MSKC 2196.952
Mayor Chiaverotti stated Waukesha County contacted Mr. Muenkel regarding the
former BP Gas Station located on the corner of Lannon and Janesville. The County is
asking the City if it would potentially be interested in acquiring the parcel. The Mayor
noted that this is just to determine if the City is interested; it does not commit the City at
this time. She stated that the lot is buildable and there are options for development.
Ald. Soltysiak stated the County should sell the parcel to a private party. He does not
believe the City should be involved. The Mayor stated that if the County is informed that
the City is interested, in the end we can say no. This does not authorize the acquisition.
Ald. Schaumberg moved to recommend approval. Ald. Borgman seconded.
Motion carried with Ald. Soltysiak voting no.
Recommendation Regarding Health Insurance Contract
Mayor Chiaverotti stated that the City’s current health insurance carrier, WPS, provided
a summary of benefit changes, which will go into effect on July 1 (attached). The initial
meeting with WPS indicated a 25% rate increase. This is based on past claim history.
The Mayor and Sharon Mueller requested the WPS representative submit different
options. City administration believes that the option being presented is the best for the
municipality as well as the employees. This option reflects a 10% rate increase. The
Mayor stated the insurance was for a one-year period. Ald. Borgman suggested
reviewing the employee contribution toward the deductible in the future. Ald. Borgman
moved to recommend approval. Ald. Schaumberg seconded; motion carried.
