The Committee reviewed Chapter 12 - Liquor License with Police
Chief Johnson. The following was clarified through
correspondence with City Attorney Molter:
1. Waitresses of the City of Muskego do not have to be
licensed, however they must be 18 years of age in order
to serve any alcoholic beverage. An employee not
• serving alcoholic beverages must be at least 16 years of
age. Immediate family members of license holders may
work in non -serving jobs at 14 years of age.
2. Section 12.01 (4) (d) delete reference to " 20% Rule".
Ald. Dumke moved to recommend that Attorney Molter review the
current Ordinance 12.01, amend and clarify (4) (c) and (4) (d),
and draft an ordinance to incorporate the above, with
"dispensing" of alcoholic beverages to be limited to licensed
operators, but allowing the "serving" by 18 year old un-licensed
persons. Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed the minutes of the previous meeting and
placed on file.

covenants.
