RLO19940804• RULES, LAWS 6 ORDINANCE COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSREGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1994
The meeting was called to order at 7:07 P.M. by Chairman Taube.
Also present were Committee Members Woodard and Misko, Police
Chief Johnson and Mr. Richard Schaumberg.
Mr. Schaumberg appeared before the Committee to express his
concerns about proposed amendments to Liquor License ordinance.
He feels that if you own a liquor license for an existing
business, the City should not be so quick to pull licenses.
The Committee reviewed Attorney Molter's correspondence of July
20, 1994 and agreed that the second paragraph should not be
adopted as it is in conflict with the first and that the first
paragraph should be amended as follows:
Any license issued pursuant to the general
ordinances for this community shall be subject to
such further regulation and restriction as may be
imposed by the governing body, or any committee
thereof, of the municipality by amendment to this
section or by the enactment of a new ordinance.
Further, the governing body of the municipality is
• specifically authorized to impose reasonable
conditions upon any alcohol beverage license. If
any licensee shall fail or neglect to meet the
requirements imposed by such restrictions and
regulations or the conditions imposed by the
municipality, his or her license may be revoked, not
renewed, suspended or cancelled in accordance with
this section. In the case of revocation,
non -renewal, suspension or cancellation of any
license for any violation of any provision of this
ordinance in accordance with section or by the Court
or for any reasonable cause no refund shall be made
of any part of the license fee. If a license issued
hereunder is not used within 365 days after its
issuance or its usage is discontinued for a period
of 90 days or remainder of license period, whichever
is greater, such situation may be grounds for
cancellation, suspension, revocation or non -renewal
of the license in accordance with the provisions of
this section and the laws of Wisconsin.
The Committee requests that the City Attorney draft language to
incorporate the following in the proposed amendment:
1. If an owner decides to terminate his business in one
• location and relocate to another, no license review is
necessary.
• Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee - Page 2
August 4, 1994
2. A license cannot be sold or transferred to
another person at another location, that license
will revert back to the City.
3. Require licensee to surrender his license if type
of use changes to a non -licensed business.
4. Language for new establishment with no existing
license; license can be reserved/granted, but not issued
until Building, Site & Operation plan is approved
within one (1) year of granting of license and
construction to start within one (1) year of the
approval of the Building, Site & Operation Plan.
(The Committee's intent is to eliminate the
need for a Hearing if the owner of the establishment
defaults on the above conditions.)
The Committee discussed Composting and took no action at this time.
The meeting adjourned at 8:38 P.M.
